Payment Reconciliation Journal - does not feel like Business Central

Martin Bønnelykke Jensen on 9/5/2019 6:55:41 AM

Payment Reconciliation Journal seems to be an awesome tool that i really want to use, primarely for incomming payments.
HOWEVER, it doesn't feel like a part of Business Central. It's like a tool that has been added to NAV a long time ago, and has not been updated to work like the rest of the journals in Business Central.

I would really like these features:
- Preview posting
- Possibility to control No. Series for the journal like for other journals (Now it just use 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 etc. with no option to change)
- Possibility to use different Document no.'s for individual lines in the journal, instead of all entries in the journal get the same Document no.
- Possibility to change the posting description for the non-bank entry also
- Possibility to attach documents like for other journals

Then this will be a really awesome tool.
Thank you! :)

Received complaints from several customers about the payment reconciliation journal - they are the same as listed that it lacks the following:
- Preview posting
- Possibility to control No. Series for the journal like for other journals (Now it just use 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 etc. with no option to change)
- Possibility to use different Document no.'s for individual lines in the journal, instead of all entries in the journal get the same Document no. - this is really business critical as for NAVIGATE works on combination of document date + document number
- there is not control on duplicates here (standard does not check bank ledger entries)
- also a major problem - bank fees in SEPA format are as separate transactions, unfortunately some banks omit the description, therefore it is not possible to use "Map-Text-To-Account". Some localizations improve this functionality by recognizing bank fees by transaction type tag, where CHRG is considered as bank fee.
- a major lack is absence of currency code and absence of possibility to determine specific exchange rate applied by the bank
- currency summary should also be provided in Detailed bank ledger entries, because majority of banks allow multicurrency accounts, therefore the accountant know what the amounts of currencies are per bank card per period.
