    Thanks to everyone who's shared how a second reference field on bills would support supplier invoice numbers, purchase orders and job references. We appreciate the strong appetite for this improvement and the practical examples provided.

    Some groundwork has already been completed, and while this isn’t in our immediate pipeline, it's high on the teams radar and something we would like to pick up.

    Though we can't commit to development just yet, we’ll keep you updated here of any progression.

    One reference or number field should be for entering the Creditor's invoice number, and there should be an additional reference or memo field for entering your own reference or note. This would enable users to see important information in summary screens, and to search by a different field. For example, one insurance broker might invoice us for several different insurance types, but all are allocated to the same GL account. It would be extremely useful to search by insurance type, or at least see it listed on the summary screen when searching by Contact.
