Multiple invoices, different suppliers, one payment (the Amazon use case)

[QFMathew]

Hi @Michel

There’s a technical reason that you wouldn’t be able to attach one payment to multiple invoices from numerous clients or suppliers, and the holding account is the best way to deal with this.

@Michel

Manually splitting transactions is just too time consuming with either method described in the aforementioned post.

How are you tagging them at the moment? The best way to do this is probably to use the “Mark as paid” option at the foot of the purchase invoice, and pay it from the holding account as you create it. Or if you do it from the receipt hub, use the paid option there.

That way, you only have to tag the actual money out transaction on your current account statement as a transfer to the holding account.

@Michel

Have Quickfile suggest a combination of untagged invoices that add up exactly to the amount that is going to be tagged. If more than one solution exist, revert to user selecting the invoices to be tagged together against the bank transaction.

I think this may become a little bit complex or heavy on the system as the number of unpaid invoices grow, but you’re welcome to post this as a feature request, and we’ll happily investigate further if there’s enough interest from the community.
