Payment view confusion

I was just looking at my incoming payments, these are all Paypal payments, and are all imported into QF using my Paypal feed.

However when I look at, for example, payment xyz of £5 from John Smith, allocated to invoice abc, it shows on the payment screen as if the payment is going from me to him, not the other way around?

I think of the payment screen like a receipt that I would send to a customer to confirm that they’ve paid me, so “Dear John Smith, thank you for your payment of £5 which I have allocated to your invoice abc. Yours sincerely, …”

Not something that I have looked at but like Ian I view it as a receipt. I agree with Paul though that it looks a little misleading and knowing the Great British Public’s ability to read the wrong meaning into something if at all possible I would, if mailing these, prefer to have the heading as "Payment Received " or just “Receipt”. I don’t know if this can be edited but a quick look at the customization facilities didn’t show anything obvious.

We recently added an option in Account Settings >> Advanced Features where you can override the name of the supplier payment slip. We could certainly look at adding the same functionality for the client payment slip.

EDIT:

@FolkLondon we’ve just implemented an option to rename the sales payment slip, you will find this in Account Settings >> Advanced Features:
