You need to ensure that your payees module is in scope, with a line such as use schema::payees; (Assuming that you have your table! or infer_schema! declarations in a module called schema).

good call, any suggestion on how to make this more obvious at the docs? Happy to put a PR together, as I've read it a handful times and couldn't see.

We mention this in a few other places (I think the associations docs mentions it?) we could probably put that same wording in the docs for Identifiable.
