Setup: Recurring transactions in MYOB Essentials

[Progressive]

Good morning

Could you kindly advise if the following items are possible in LiveAccounts - or can be added to the development list?

- Can we have recurring transactions for sales, bills, spend money & receive money

Thank you

Heidi

+1000 interwebs for this recommendation

Its annoying to have to enter invoices from people like Google (set amount) and MYOB themselves every month when i know that the invoice will always be that amount. 

I support this suggestion 100%

I had recurring transactions in AccountRight Basics - however, since changing over to Essentials a lot of functions are not available.  

Obviously the developing team don't work in an actual work situation as they will realise this function is imperative to bookkeepers.

It would be appreciated if this function can be added.

Hi @LyndaB

Thank you for your feedback.

The development team do understand the benefit that recurring transactions will bring to MYOB Essentials and to clients. At stage we are unable to advise when this particular idea will be added to the program. However we are still encouraging clients to vote and comment if required for this idea.

So this has been here for 2 years and still no action.

I dont want to harp on about this feature but I have been waiting two years for you to implement what i would think is one of the most important features an acounting package should have. This would save me and hundreds of other bussinesses a huge amount of hours each month and yet your response is we have no time frame.  How hard can it be?  Create invoice... select recur each month on this date.  You already have copy invoice...  now just make it copy, save and send every month!!!!  

I like MYOB essentials.  I don't want to leave. But I am afraid you are forcing me to do so.  Thanks for the good times.

Hi there @ScottMackenroth,

Firstly, please allow me to extend to you a warm welcome to the Community Forum. We hope you find it a valuable tool.

In regards to the feature, we are very sorry for the delay in having this feature implemented. We are well aware that the ability to set up recurring transactions is a feature that a lot of our clients have been wanting to see, and we most certainly agree that this would be one that would be of a huge benefit.

Our product development team are working hard towards ensuring that our clients receive the best possible experience using our product. We will pass along this feedback, however, as mentioned in the post above, there is no time frame regarding when this will be going into development.

Once again, we do apologize for the delay and inconvenience.

I was using a basic invoice product called ZOHO.  My accountant pursuaded me to come over to MYOB essentials.

The first thing I needed to setup, was recurring invoices.

Guess what? Doesnt exist.

So, I came here onto the forums and shocked to see that it was requested 3 years ago!

That's ridiculous.

Recurring invoices are ESSENTIAL.

So, how long will it take for you guys to build that feature? I see you guys keep blaming the developers, but really, its up to the management team to tell the developers what to do.  Right?

Seems a bit hopeless really.

Recurring journals are hugely important. For example the monthly salary/wage journal that debits the various expenses and sets up the liability accounts that banking transactions then debit against. Monthly depreciation provisions or holiday pay allowances
