Direct debits in batch payments

Make direct debits obvious so we dont include them in a batch payment eg in Rural they were a different colour

Manual Payment, Scheduled Payment or Direct Debit

Record or sort bills in the Bill Payment Screen by the way they are to be paid i.e: Direct Debit, Manual/One off Payment or Scheduled Payment (20th month).
When paying bills can be difficult to remember what is DD and what is not, occasionally ending up in double payments. Also, when two or more people are managing finances one-off payments would be handy to classify. It would reduce double-up payments and missed payments by making clear that it was not scheduled, nor a direct debit and perhaps something to ask about if you weren't the one that scanned in the invoice.
Overall this would aid in planning cashflow, particularly in un-budgeted or loosely budgeted projects.

Definitely want this feature! As a workaround I've deleted bank account details associated with anyone I pay by direct debit (to make me stop and think twice before paying). Which is a pain if I want to pay them for anything else... I have to find and re-enter their bank account.

This would be very good!

Totally support this. Last week I paid two salaries (which are on automatic payment) with the other payments going out the same day because they came up on the list to be paid. We have to have their bank account numbers entered for other misc payments which means on payroll day they can easily be selected again from the list and paid twice.

Agree. It would be good to have a "paid" check box for invoices that have already been paid or are DD's so they don't even turn up in the batch payment list

Richard Fowler: thank you for the feedback, I will pass on to our development team to look at

I agree - my bank doesn't accept bank files to upload payments, so I would have to enter all the bank info into FF in order to include it in a batch I'm never going to use, just to mark as paid. I'd love to be able to mark things as paid!

I would also like to see this feature added. Visually easier see which should not be added as a payment.

Hi Guy, I suggest you enter a "DD" or otherwise in the bank information and delete the bank account from your contacts for these suppliers. This means the bank information will be incomplete and you won't accidentally be able to export these for payment.
