Bills - Payment method shown on Bills (DD, BACS)
In ‘Bills Awaiting Payment’ it would be useful if you could assign (or at contact level) a payment method. Specifically so that anything due to be taken by DD isn’t inadvertently paid on a payment run.

Yes please! It would help avoid duplicate payments to suppliers if you could select a payment method in Contact financial details to include options such as:
- Direct debit
- BPAY
- Credit cardWe have had numerous cases where a bill was waiting for payment however a direct debit was set up & then we also paid via batch payment
Thanks 🙏

Add payment type to suppliers account?
From example I want to print Aged Payables report but I do not want include suppliers to whom I am pay by Direct Debit.To be able filter by payment type in the Aged payable summary report. -

I absolutely second this, it's frustrating reviewing long lists of bills from multiple suppliers, and not knowing which are going to be collected by DD, which are usually paid via card or which are actually due to be paid on account terms.
This could be as simple as in the search just having an additional field for 'Payment Method' so you can just tick the methods you want to include in results.
Alternatively, it could even be in brackets after the suppliers name.

Please consider adding a field to the contact, to show how payment is made (BACS, DD, Proforma, Credit Card etc). This would avoid paying a supplier bill via BACS when there is already a DD arrangement set up. Likewise, for customers we can turn off statements for DD payers. You could show this on the summary screen and make it a selection field when running aged debt/credit reports.
