Many vendors require their account number to be shown on the check.
It typically needs to be entered into the Ext. Invoice No. field.
It would helpful to have the option to store the Ext. Invoice No. for a vendor.
+1 If we could select a number of descriptions from a drop down.
Alternatively, there are cases in which an Ext. Invoice No. is not always needed, so having the option to toggle the storage of an Ext. Invoice No. would be ideal.
Ex. Utility bills require the account numbers be listed on the check. If the account number is not listed the Utility Company will apply the payment arbitrarily to any account.

I use the vendor reference field (vendor maintenance) as my account number with the vendor and then modify the check/stub to display that field.
Ext. Invoice field? Sounds like you have created a user defined field?
Sounds like the Ext Invoice field was created to get around the 10 character limitation of the AP invoice number field.
We also use (and recommend to clients) the Vendor Reference field for this purpose. It is interesting we get 15 characters for the Vendor's Reference to us and only 7 for our reference to the vendor.
