Setting for Reference Field to be not mandatory in Incoming/Outgoing Payment

[former_member11726]

Is there a setup in SAP Business one where we can set Reference field as not mandatory for Incoming Payments/Outgoing Payments for Bank Transfers and Checks?

I have noticed this for Singapore Localization as a default but not for Australia/New Zealand Localization.
I couldn't find the set up to change this. I tried Document Settings but could not find anything relevant.

Has someone encountered this and has identified the corresponding setup?

Hi,

In Singapore Localization the field is a mandatory requirement as per localization requirement. In other Localization this may not be mandatory and hence Payment can be added without it as well.

You can check SAP Note 2991224.

Thank you for clarifying this. My intention for this was I wanted to create automatic Incoming Payment using the 'Process External Bank Statement' but it would not let me post the transaction due to the said error.
