Why would this be useful?
This enhancement would allow finance and accounts payable teams to quickly view, sort, or filter suppliers based on how they are paid. For example:
Easily identify all suppliers paid by BACS for batch payment runs.
Highlight suppliers who are still on manual payment methods, allowing a smoother transition to automated options.
Enable auditing and process reviews by quickly pulling a list of suppliers based on payment method.
Currently, there's no simple way to extract or filter this information across all suppliers without going into each supplier record individually, which is time-consuming and inefficient.
How are you overcoming this problem today?
At the moment, we’re manually clicking into each supplier account to check their payment method one by one. In some cases, we’ve created and maintained separate external spreadsheets to track payment methods. Both workarounds are prone to human error, require duplication of effort, and take significant time, especially when managing a large volume of supplier accounts.
How much time would this save you?
Implementing this feature would save us approximately 2–4 hours per week, depending on the volume of supplier maintenance or payment runs. Over a year, that’s more than 100 hours of time saved—time that could be redirected to value-adding tasks like supplier analysis or improving payment processes.
