Allow cheque # field for Withdrawals or link payable payments to existing reference/cheque/invoice #'s

Suggestion as written by a customer:

"Is there a way that a cheque number field can be set up for withdraws (purchase transactions)?

Currently the only option is to use the “Reference” field to enter the cheque number, then use the description for the invoice # and risk duplicating payment of invoice.

I appreciate that duplicate Reference numbers are now tracked.

To avoid duplicate payment of invoices it is a 2-step process (Which is redundant if payment is only for one invoice.):

1. the invoice is entered as a payable using the invoice as the “Reference”

2. then done as a withdraw as a “PP” transaction type using the Cheque # as the “Reference”.

The payroll module does record and auto increment cheque numbers.

I use the same cheque sequence for both payroll and payables."
