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

Hi Everyone

Thank you for showing your support and feedback for this idea

I'm pleased to announce that recurring transactions are a feature that is available in the newer MYOB Essentials platform.  You can find more information about this function in Help Article: Recurring transactions.

Hi yes we agree with most on here. As a sole trader we dont need anything more than Essentials yet on a trial basis were finding out many things we use alot are not in Essentials. since moving over weve done a bit of invoicing etc and we love that we can access our file from anywhere but not having the features we use often is also slowing us down and were hearing that the features are standard in Zero.

HI. I'm new to MYOB Essentials from Acocunting Edge (Mac based) and I couldn't find recurring transactions. Once I read the above posts I wa shocked that this is a feature not supported in MYOB Essentials. It saves me countless hours of data entry as we have a lot of RCTI's which are all very similar, as well as purchases and in the spend money section. All of these I use recurring transactions ALL the time. To enter each transaction manually without the recurirng transaction feature is a waste of my time. Because our business run's Mac's we can not go to Account Right Premier (it only supports Windows). I hope a solution is coming this year or I will have to look at the comptetion or go back to the stand alone program. I have been using MYOB for a long time now (more than 20yrs) so hopefully there is something in the wings. Please let me know if this is coming or not. Thanks.

My customers subscribe for services. This comes with an annual renewal. I am having to diary renwals to then enter and invoice. I'd like an automated subscription service to be manageable in Essentials Please.

Hi @Prosper

Thank you for your idea in regards to MYOB Essentials.

I've merged your idea with this similar one already included on the MYOB Essentials. While not directly mentioned your idea is a by-product/way of using this idea.

Recurring invoices are essential.

 

I can't believe this has still not been implemented.

Hi @Accountnoob

 

Thank you for your feedback in regards to this idea.

The voting system on the MYOB Essentials Idea Exchange provides the team a clear number of clients that use the MYOB Community Forum that would like to see an idea added to the program. The team also reviews the comments for more information into what clients are requesting. This particular idea does have a high number of votes and we can certainly see the benefits of adding this idea to the program. However at this stage no set date has been added to when this idea will be placed in development/added to the program.

Hi,

 

I can't believe that this functionality is not available and after reading this thread I can't believe that it's taken so long to implement when recurring transactiona are huge part of conducting business.

 

Happy to help with comments and/or beta testing, but hopefully this is not far away.
