A/P Register Question

[Joseph Pellegrino]

Thanks Derek,

Is it possible to go from this:

T	Ref		 Payment 
P	Payment	   1 
P	Payment	   5 
P	Payment	 10

To this:

T	Ref		 Payment 
P	Payment	   16

and only see the  the individual payments opening the split?  I like that the "Lot Links" have been changed but it seems they’ve just been replaced by “Payment" entries and it still makes for a cluttered transaction window. I think ideally the entry would look like the what I have above and opening the split would show us the individual entries preferably each of those entries would have info pointing to the specific invoice..
