Writing Chq and having Chq number as EFT

When I enter a chq nowadays payments are made by EFT but I can't pin "EFT" as the chq number each time I enter a chq transaction. I have 70 odd bank accounts that I use so I want to pin EFT on every bank account when writing a chq, can this be done.

I have noticed someone said change the the transaction to "chq-To Print" but it leaves the transaction blank, I would like to show it's an EFT payment each time.

Hi @Grand1

At the moment you're able to create your own custom payment methods however unfortunately, getting them to filter through to an area such as Pay Bills is not possible at this time as its a limitation of the older codebase that Reckon Accounts currently operates on.

I can't say for certain we can make any changes in this area however there looks to be a feature request for this in our ideas space here. I'd encourage you to add a vote by clicking the vote button along with adding details of your own use case for our product team to review.

Hi Rav,

Thank you for that, thought there was something that couldn't be done as I've exhausted all avenues. And I've voted on the ideas space and given my opinion, thanks for the heads up.

Hi @Grand1

If you make the cheque number field show "EFT X" where X is a number and save the transaction.

The following cheque will have as its number "EFT X+1" where it is incremented.

Will that be enough for what you need?
