Commitment Code added to Cost Payment Application

Commitment Code added to Cost Payment Application

Can we get the Commitment Code added to the Cost Payment Application screen (as a field that can be viewed)?  We can see the Commitment, but it would be really helpful to see the actual Commitment Code itself.  So it would look something like this:

Hello, by default the pay app numbering scheme uses the Contract Code - sequential number

Can you please clarify why you'd like to duplicate it in another column?

Thanks

Thanks for the response Ian.

Maybe it's the way my Cost Payment Application screen is setup, but I am not seeing an option to add the commitment number to the screen.

The "Number" field is the subcontract invoice number, which is different than the commitment number.  When looking at dozens (or hundreds) of subcontract invoices, it would be really helpful to be able to see which invoices go to which commitments, and even be able to sort the invoices by the commitment number.

If you need more information, please let me know.  Thanks!

I should have clarified further...

The default invoice number is to use the commitment code.  However, many subcontractors use their own invoice number.  In that case, we need to go with the subcontractor's invoice number in our system, such that we can reference/link back.  In those instances, the invoice number looks nothing like the committment code.  (Please see original screenshot.)  That is when it would be super helpful to be able to see the commitment code, because it cannot be discerned from the invoice number.  I'm just looking for the option to bring that field into the screen.  Users can obviously customize their screens and exclude it if it is not helpful to them.  Thanks again.

Thanks, that clarification helped. Originally we didn't allow it to be changed, but some ERPs require a unique number across all projects so they have to rely on the Subs entering their own number.

To assist with the above we are also planning short term to add custom attributes for collaborators which can be set as required fields which for example could be used to make the Sub enter their own invoice number in the custom attribute before it could be submitted.

When we have that, would you want to lock down the normal number field so subs couldn't edit it and would that solve your problem or would you leave it editable as is and still want the additional column?
