Request for Automatic Numbering Setup for Reference No. in Receive Payment (QuickBooks Online)

The Reference no. field on the Receive Payment screen is a free-text field. This is left open so you can manually enter and track your customer's unique payment method identifier, such as a physical check number, a wire transfer ID, or a bank confirmation number.

Beyond that, you can also submit feedback to our Product Development Team to request an automated numbering option. Your ideas help us understand what you need and shape our future updates.

We'll be right here if you have further questions about this.
