Feature Request: Add a "Project" Column to the Bills View
Idea suggested by Gareth Ricketts 4 days ago
When reviewing the Bills view, we carry out a quick weekly audit of all supplier bills from the previous week to ensure that materials and costs have been allocated to the correct projects. This is a simple but important quality control step that helps identify any accidental project misallocations before they affect job costing and reporting.
Currently, the Bills view provides the ability to filter by Project, but there is no Project column available to display or sort by. This seems inconsistent, as if a field can be filtered, it would be equally useful to be able to display it as a column.
Suggested Improvement:
Add an optional Project column to the Bills view. Allow the column to be sorted alphabetically by project, just like other columns. Retain the existing Project filter.
Benefits:
Makes weekly project allocation checks significantly quicker. Allows users to visually scan bills by project without opening individual records. Helps identify misallocated costs more efficiently. Improves accuracy of project costing and reporting. Provides consistency between the available filter options and visible columns.
This would be a small enhancement but would make the weekly review process much more efficient for businesses managing multiple live projects.
