Report: Payroll activity - list alphabetically by last name
Who was the genius that decided that a payroll report should list employees alphabetically baed on their first name instead of their surname? MYOB have never done this before (for good reason). No other accounting report or ATO report or any report lists employees alphabetically based on their first name. If there is a good reason for it, I certainly cannot see it. Please either change the alphabetical listing in the reports to be based on surnames, or give the user the ability to edit the way that the reports are listed like Xero does? "Payroll activity report listed alphabetically using surname (NOT first name)"
Report: Pay item transactions - Include hours worked
I used to be able to get hours worked on the Pay Items transaction report. The new version only has dollars. I contacted online support and received the following response: I have looked at report and have found Unfortunately, Due to update, this feature has ben removed, there is no way to include it in that report. It is very disappointing when an "upgrade" takes away a useful feature that is used. Please return this functionality. "Pay items report should still include hours worked"Employees: Notes - increase character limit
Hi we have just had the 1st of 4 files migrated to the new version of Essentials. We have been eagerly awaiting all the new featuresthat would make life easier but we are disappointed to see some of the good points about the old version have gone. The notes section of the employee file has a reduced character limit so much so that the notes on one employee file that were imported from the old version have had to be cut & pasted to a word document as they were too large for the field & tech support are unable to tell me how charaters can go in the field The payslip (& whole payroll process) was much simpler in the old version. We would like to be able to edit the payslip template or if you could just make it look like the old version including logo that would be fantastic We would like to be able to add our logo to the remittance advice as well If we can edit the invoice template why cant we edit the payslip & remittance templates? It is great that we can now have TOIL & LSL accruals & recurring journals but I wish you could have kept the good features from the old version that have been removed. We would love the simplicity of the old version with the added features of the new "Payroll & templates in New Essentials"
Contacts: Increase the Name field character limit
In the new Essentials the number of characters for customer names (company and individual) appears to limited (this was never an issues in the old Essentials). We have a client that sells assets that require financing and the financers oftern request the full name to be inlcuded in the tax invoice. We have reverted to using Excel to prepare tax invoices. MYOB please fix this as a matter of urgency! "Contacts"
Payroll: Search employee pay slips by employee name
New System has lost functionality. We were able to search payslips by clicking on a particualr employee. We can now only search payslips by date. This makes it more time consuming to send adhoc payslips when staff ask for it., or when we need to retrieve payslips for other reasons. "Unable to search payslips by Staff member"
Invoices: Quick print (not need to product PDF first)
After the upgrade on Essentials it has become quite a process just to print an invoice. Before the upgrade we had a print button on the create invoice page which was easy, now we need to "View PFD" then click on another link which takes us to an online invoice which then allows for printing. That is ridiculus. Then when you do print it, it has a "veiw your invoice online, click here to veiw on the printed version. This is clearly a problem that needs to be fixed. "'TO DIFFICULT TO PRINT AN INVOICE"Invoices: Insert lines on quotes or invoices
The functionality to add/insert additional line items, or move line items, between existing items on invoices & quotes is no longer working on the latest release... please bring this functionality back. "Add/insert or move line items in quotes and invoices"
