Thank you for your response. I've updated to V2.4.19 and this aspect remains the same. However, I've come to the conclusion that it is down to me not grasping how the memo fields are best used.

I've now realised that the line memo appears as entered when doing a GL-Inquiry and the other memo entry field on the input form appears on the Bank-AC Inquiry. This now makes sense to me since there can be several line entries per deposit or payment transaction with different memos to be recorded for each and one overall memo for the balancing bank entry.

Thanks again for your advice. This works fine for me and I hope it helps anyone else who needs to better understand this feature.

Try using the bleeding edge FA where there is not expected to be much of a DB change.
Also FA v2.4.19 has just been released that included all latest changes.

Bank Account Enquiry Screen Not Showing Memo Data

Hi,
I'm new to FrontAccounting and only need to use the General Ledger. I'm really impressed with it and have managed to import from Sage 50 a custom chart of accounts, several years of transactions and I also have 1 dimension set up as departmental cost centers. All working fine and reconciling with my Sage system which I want to ditch at the end of the tax year.

I'm using Version 2.4.18 Build 03.04.2024 on Linux Mint with a local Apache server and MySQL database.

One issue I do have is when I make a Bank Account Inquiry. Any memo information I have input at the transaction line entry level does not show up on the screen. The field is there but it's blank. If I click on the book icon, the memo information is shown on the resulting screen.

Looking in the database, there does not appear to be a memo field in the bank trans table but it is there (with the corresponding memo data) in the gl trans table for the same transaction.

Am I missing something or is this a bug?
