When writing a check, I used to be able to assign a job or customer to an item or line or account or expense in the write check screen. Where did that go? I pulled an old report, and yep, it shows a check with customer name associated to it, but when I click on it, it's not listed in that write check screen?!? Where did this option go? I have the most recent automatic upgrade.
Solved! Go to Solution.
