I have found MYOB reporting to have significant limitations when a business has different cost centres and wishes to report on these seperately
The business uses the 4 codes for sales and the 5 codes for cost of sales whilst the 6 codes are used for the admin expenses of the entire business. We cannot therefore report on profit centre 1, profit centre 2 etc seperately.
I have explored the use of categories and these appear to have potential. The major problem with this is that you need to specify the category at the bottom of each data entry page for every transaction. This is not feasible!!
SO - can the software be upgraded so that categories can be linked to account codes (so that the account code defaults to one of the categories). This would save having to enter the category on every transaction and hence open up huge potential for the use of category reports.

In the Job and Category Profit and Loss Statements, for some reason they do not have Level Reporting. The standard P&L does have various levels of reporting, but not the ones that for Jobs or Categories, not sure why or is there a way to do this?

It would be handy to be able to add a default category to both supplier and customer cards so it does not have to be set each time you do a Sales or Purchase invoice.

It would be really helpful for us to have the option to run actual versus budget in the categories. We run MYOB AccountRight Premier version 19.7.

Would be great to be able to run Last year Analysis for Categories not just whole entities. There is no point having categories if you then have to manually caluclate how each department is running month on month or year on year.

Hi,
Would it be possible for the General Ledger Detail Report under the Categories heading to be able to show opening balances for accounts that have no transactions (or failing that have the option to just display all accounts)?
This is available under the General Ledger [Detail] report under the Accounts heading (option is in the Finishing tab) but not under the Categories report.
Any other improvements to the Categories reporting would be appreciated too!
Thanks

I don't understand why Category BS and P&L reports do not treat zero balance accounts in the same way as the standard reports. The standard reports provide the option to show/hide zero balance accounts, but the category reports show them with no provision to hide them.

We are using categories but cannot print a receivable reconciliation report, or aged recevables summary or sort our statements by category only identifiers, Could categories be added to advanced filters.
Thanks
