match to the oldest invoices, rather than those with the closest due date.
During bank reconciliations where there are transactions with "other possible match found", the payment is matched to the invoice with the closest due date, which is not always the oldest invoice. It would be ideal if we were able to configure transactions to match to the oldest invoices first.
We have several customers who receive recurring monthly invoices and in almost all cases, they would be paying the most outstanding invoice.
