Why do some of my imported PayPal payments come in with the reference of just Purchase and the transaction Id as the reference? I only pay two suppliers through my PayPal account and some of their payments come through with their name and others come through with just this, luckily one I can tell the difference as one suppliers payments are always for low amounts but if I had another like the other it would make it very difficult to tell the difference?
Thanks,
James
They should all come through the same as the format (PURCHASE: #####) is based on the transaction type that PayPal send us.
I believe the feed will provide more information than just the transaction ID so we can look at changing this format to appear similar to the client payment transactions.
e.g. Supplier Name (7YD75793GP288234H)
I’ve updated this thread to a “planned feature”.
Just to let you know, this update to the formatting has gone live.
All newly imported purchases will now be presented like sales receipts:
Supplier Name (PP_Trans_ID)
Dev, Test, QA, Deploy doesn’t get much quicker than that! Thanks Glenn!
