In my old accounting software you could search a product by code or by name, if you couldn't find a product by the name, you would go into NEW like you were adding a new product put in the code and and tab, then it would tell you the name of the product, now with live version you can only search by product name or only by code this is frustrating as you could be halfway through a sales invoice and have to search by code and then you have to change it in setup in preffrences, its a long winded way of doing things, it also erases all of your work if you dont save it, would be good if you could change this on sales and purchases so you can do both at once, this is the only problem i have found going live MYOB it's taking me longer to do my sales and inventory, i may have to change if its not resolved, other wise i love the program

 

"searching codes and product name both at the same time instead of changing setup to do either"

Hi Everyone

Thank you for voting for this idea

I'm pleased to announce with the release of AccountRight 2016.3 comes a new way to search and select items for your Sales, Purchases and Inventory Windows. This allows for the user to search for item number and name, even bring a list up of all items that contain a series of characters in the name/number i.e.

Thank you for your post @corina44. I'm glad to hear that overall you are happy with the AccountRight Live program. I understand that you are finding some of the changes in work flow in AccountRight Live are causing delays in your Enter Sales / Purchases process. As you've noticed both versions (classic and Live) work on the preference setting of selecting Items either by Item Name or Item Number/code. However in the classic versions when you create a New Item, if the Item was already in the file it would bring up its details. AR Live does not do this. I have brought this to the attention of our specialists to consider changing in a future update. We encourage others who are affected by this change to please vote and add comments.

Hi Everyone

We are in development of an exciting feature in AccountRight that will improve on the searching capabilities of items for the Items List and to be used on Sales/Purchases. This will allow for the user to search Item Number, Item Name and On Hand values for the transaction without the need to change the preferences. For example you will be able to search for an item's number or item name without the need to change the preferences.

More details into this feature and how to obtain that update will be available closer to release.
