Come on MYOB, go and talk to Zapier and get integrated so you can give your customers the option to automatically sync and integrate with hundreds of other online services to help improve automated workflow in small business! Integrate everything so your customers can benefit. A lot quicker this way than fielding thousands of requests. I think your ROI would be sub a year and frustrated customers would start to disappear.   "Any plans to integrate Zapier and MYOB?" ... View more

Dear MYOB,   Can the header, subtotal and blank lines in a sale be included in exported / imported data?   This is key information which is being omitted off data being exported / imported from one data file to another.   My client is a electrical tradesman who uses the item type sale to list materials and labour sold and needs a section to type in notes for location and work performed that can be viewed on the screen in its interity (not hiden by expandable field). This information needs to be stable data and have the ability to be imported / exported.

It appears you can only import invoices with about 5 - 7 lines, any more than this and the invoice doesn't import.  On previous versions I had no problems importing invoices with 30 or so lines.  As I do this at every month end the suggestion from the report team that I manually key the invoices, or break it into several invoices just won't work.  Can you please upgrade the number of lines that can be included in a single invoice.   "importing invoice data from a csv file" ...

Many of my clients no longer use Outlook but Gmail As CRM becomes an increasing focus for small biz and the mobile app provides access to contacts this is a high priority from my perspective. Also synchronising to a group of contacts rather than the whole lot would be critical too.   Thanks   Synchronise Cards to web based contacts like Gmail as well as Outlook? ... View more

Hi,   Every day we import sales data using the import/export assistant.   It would really save time if one could save some default settings.   So on the first page we alays have to click import data. On page 2 we alwsys have to click sales and then service sales, and then we have to select the same file from the same location. (our excel macro that makes the data nice and friendly makes the same file in the same location each time) On page 3 we have to change the first line contains to data On page 4 we always click match all On page 5 we click import.   It would save so much time if MYOB could remember just a few of these settings, or in preferences allow you to set some defaults so that you don't need so many clicks each import.    "Default settings for import/export assistant" ...

There is no excuse why MYOB reports cannot be exported to excel or any other programme format in the correct formats for that programme. Not just as text across all columns. In MYOB a date column will always be a date. In a debit, credit of balance columns the data will always be a $ value. In other columns there may be general numbers and finally text. It just poor programming to say you cant export in the correct formats. how hard is it to work that out. This is one of the biggest reasons why we are considering switching to Xero. Lift you game MYOB. About time a programmer came out to real world and see what happens at the "coal face"   "Exporting to Excel" ... View more

MYOB payby, works by activiating the "online payment" tick box on each invoice.   There is no field in the import/export field range that captures this feature.   So when importing batch invoices, every invoice has to be manually ticked.   Please add a identifable field for "online payment" to enable effective importing of invoice data.   "Adding field for import/export for "online payment" feature' ...

Hi MYOB,   The drop down list on the "Import and Export Assistant"  File Type:  Import: / Export: list only shows six (6) entries and it is necessary to drag  the slider down to see the ones at the bottom.   IDEA:  Make the pick list window longer so all the options are visible.   This was easier to use in Premier as the full list was displayed and there were keyboard shortcuts available.   Thanks, Tim   "expand the drop down pick list on the "Import and Export Assistant" File Type: Import: / Export:" ...

Hi,   I'm importing employees' timesheets through Import and Export Assistant, but unfortunately under the Available Fields there is no Acitivity field. Thus I'm unable to import automatically this particular piece of data and after importing all the timesheets I need to manually enter Activity in every single timesheet. This is taking some additional time which otherwise can be spared for some other tasks. That's why I'll appreciate it much if this field could be included in the Availabel Fields list.   Thanks a lot!   Kind regards, Boris Kachamakov   "Including Activity field in Timesheet import" ...

Your staff in the Community were unable to help with the following issues and suggested I log them here. The first is a bug in Account Right Plus and the second two would make life a bit easier.   1. After doing a successful import of a CSV file using the Import/Export Assistant, I always get an error when I select  Import More Data to import another day's data. The error message is -15 Account number not fould in list of postable accounts. The only way I can do it is to run the Import/Export assistant from start for every entry, which is annoying and time consuming. 2. When selecting files for import, the default is always TXT. Is it possible to change the default to ALL. 3. When importing a General Journal Entry, I always get an error message if there is a zero amount in the data being imported. Why? Life would be lot easier if I could import a zero.   "Import/Export Assistant" ... View more

Hi, We need to export our sales invoices/miscellaneous sales in order to import it into banking software. To do this we need 4 columns. Date, Invoice No, Customer Name and TAX-INC AMOUNT. This was a simple process when using AccountRight 19.11. I have upgraded  (just yest) to ARLIve2015 and I have noticed that within the export fields for miscellaneous sales,  there is not an option to export TAX INC AMOUNT. It will of course export Amount and GST,  but I do not want to have to open my excel file and do extra work to get the result I need, when it was something the previous version of AccountRight did with no issue. Can you resolve this, add in a TAX INC AMOUNT field? There is a field called INCLUSIVE but all that does it add an X into Excel file.Supports answer, well they didn't have answer, except for it being an "oversight".

Hello,   I'm wondering if  I can only import the items and quantities, and then MYOB applies the default pricing matrix  which is already in system.Eg, import csv file as follows-    1. Import  Date Customer Name/cardid, Item Number and Quantity.  2. MYOB generates invoice using imported data and pricing rules in MYOB   I was able to successfully do step1, however the sales order generated all had $0 for price. I thought we could have some sort of an option or setting on items wherein MYOB could override or apply pricing if not present in the import data.    We have 2000 + sales orders generated every month and complex pricing rules depending on the customer and the quantity. It was great to set up the pricing rules in MYOB but I can't indivudally generate the invoice for every customer each month as the item quantity will vary each month. MYOB being such a mature accounting software, I thought this would be already present.   Can this be made available? IF not is there a workaround to this?   ~David.   "Importing Item Sales without Price and applying Price from MYOB" ... View more

Just recently upgraded from v19 to 2013.3. Not very happy with the export to Excel formatting at all. I now have to reformat all the exported reports as the numbers come through as text, not numbers. Also, I had an ODBC connection in the last version which has now disappeared. I am used to being able to download information directly into Excel from the accounting package without having to "Export"it. I would like to see the reporting functionality improved to allow for more customisation. I understand that MYOB wants us accountants to move away from using Excel as a reporting tool, but that is just denying the the fact that everybody uses Excel as a reporting tool whether you like it or not. OK - rant over.   "Excel add-in" ... View more
