Re: the list of Invoices in the detail section of Manual Checks:

What order are the documents listed?
Does not seem to be in Doc # order, or in Due Date Order.

I have a user that is requesting to sort the documents in Inv # order. Is this possible?

(This would especially be helpful, as they have vendors with many outstanding Invoices, and they select Invoices they are paying based on the Inv #.)

Samuel:

The sort is in Date order, which in most cases is also the invoice number order.

I have a client with the same problem so a request would be an option to change the sort order on the grid from Doc date to Invoice number.

I spoke with my client and they would like to formally request that this feature be added, if possible - Viz: Sort the documents in the AP Manual screen by Doc/Inv #.
Thanks.

Hi Samuel,

When Payables 9.2B was released, there was a problem in how the details were sorted. This was resolved in a Jan 30, 2017 hot fix for Payables 9.2B, and is also in the official release for Payables 9.3A.

When that fix was being done, it was investigated as to whether this grid could be sorted in alternate ways, such as by Invoice number. It was deemed at the time to be very difficult, but I will pass your clients request on.

A client on Friday asked me if the manual check screen could be sorted by Due Date. I remembered this post, and upon re-reading, I'm not convinced what the sort order actually is supposed to be? Is it Transaction Date or Invoice number? Doug says by Date, and Support, you say

which implies it's not supposed to be by Invoice Number.
Yet when I look at my client's data in 9.3A it appears to be by Invoice Number.
So what is it?
Long story short, my client votes for the option of sort by Due Date. (I realize it was deemed "very difficult")

Hello All:

The Sort for Payment Details has been added in the Payables 93B (20.02.17) Upgrade.

Manual Check Payment transaction now allow sorting the detail grid by Document number, Document Date, or Due date, from a right-click menu on that grid. This value is remembered for the next payment entry.
