comments auto populating to next invoice

Hi Team, Has there been any new updates which enable us to disable the autopopulate of comments over to the next invoice? Its very frustrating as we use comments all the time which are individualise...

    Hi LP1 

     

    Just thought I would jump in on this one.

    While not a solution, a good workaround that I have seen some users do use and something that I have recommended in the past, is to have a full stop in the Sales Comment on the Customer's card. What this does is forces the comment on each transaction to be a full stop, overwriting the previously stored comment from the last invoice (when the customer is selected). So if you wanted to have a comment, not related to the previous invoice, you can type it in. And more importantly, if there is no comment (or the user misses updating that comment) you just have a full stop in that field, rather than the previous comment.

thanks for trying, much appreciated!  we just find it a jolly nuisance because when you are busy sometimes forgot to go to comments and delete past notes everytime we raise new invoice. Not ideal for us because sometimes it contains sensitive info and risk it can be printed off and sent to customer.  Been an issue since using myob back in 2011!   If your team can consider a solution would be much appreciated by myself and many others I'm sure.
