Superannuation problems
Hi all, Is anyone else having issues with superannuation authorisation codes coming through today? Trying to process staff super payments for this period but no code has been sent. Have been waiting over 20 mins and they usually send the SMS instantly. Have logged out, cleared cache etc, Payroll worked as per usual, but super no authorisation code sent.
Products and Services Title and Description Boxes
Currently there's only a field to enter a description of the product of service and the field is limited to 255 characters. It would be ideal if you could have a separate "title" and "description" box with a higher character limit. This would allow a more in depth description of the service that was provided. I've had to shorten the description of one of my services to fit within the character limit. See attached examples.
why does the bank rec statement date always revert to todays date in myob essentials?
I am trying to do the bank rec today 3rd April 2025. I want to reconcile to EOFY 31 March 2025. I enter the statement date and hit reconcile. The report is created the account is reconciled and they all say 03/04/2025. So does this mean you can only reconcile on the actual day? How ridiculous. This needs to be fixed. What is the point of having a statement date if you are not going to use it. Look forward to hearing from you. Regards SarahDeleting two company names from opening menu list in online file
I have two companies i no longer work for and i would like to remove them from the list in my Online Menu. I have tried following your instructions from your help menu and from a previous Community Hub post however neither option has worked. When i go to my Library - Accountright File - only my private files are showing and none of the online files are listed.Business Verification
We've received an email about verifying our business for secure invoicing. We don't use any of the online invoicing options and have no plans to. Do we still need to go through the verification process? By verifying will there be any changes to our invoice setup? Will we have to set up our system/invoices so that none of the online payment options appear on the invoices? Thanks
The Connection to the server was lost
Hi, Can someone contact me asap via private message. My access level for serial ending 7714 (ID 1) is showing as Online Administrator, however clearly it is not. I cannot do many of the things an online administrator should be able to do - namely restore online. Cannot see user access settings either. Need this fixed urgently so I can restore a file online. Access needs to be reset. Also the file cannot be accessed via browser - 'Something has gone wrong!' Regards Michael
MYOB Secure Invoicing Upgrade: update and Summary 11/03
6 MIN READ Hi everyone, Due to a high number of comments (and MYOB replies) about Secure invoicing, I am posting a summary of the change, frequent questions/complaints and the answers from MYOB to make it easier for everyone to find this important information. I will also be archiving the previous discussions on the forum so that this new post becomes easier for customers to find. It is a long update, but in the interest of transparency, fairness and to avoid any concerns around censorship, I am doing my best to make sure everything is covered. The Secure Invoicing upgrade began with a small test group of customers in October 2024, and we have continued to roll this out to more customers in small batches since then. We are some time away from this being released to all customers, so don’t worry if you have not heard of it or seen any communication from us. What is the Secure invoicing upgrade? Secure invoicing is an important upgrade being rolled out this year to customers who send invoices on MYOB subscription plans. From MYOB Business Lite, through to AccountRight Premier. The upgrade adds multiple layers of security for your business, plus automation features designed to help you save time and accelerate cashflow. The Secure Invoicing ecosystem is a combination of the secure distribution of invoices using MYOBs trusted software (Email, SMS, CopyLink) and the ability to accept secure payments. Secure invoicing includes: Always-on fraud monitoring for transactions and payment activity Secure payment methods MYOB verified badge End-to-end secure invoice distribution Additional questions/objections to this: Why is online payments combined with secure invoicing? + Online payments should be separate / I don’t want online payments + I’m happy to have additional security with invoicing but I don’t want to have payments. The distribution of invoices using MYOB software, fraud monitoring and secure payment of invoices is combined into a single MYOB Secure invoicing ecosystem to provide the best possible protection for businesses and consumers. Although these features are combined, you have the flexibility to adjust settings to suit your preferences around the secure payment methods. Learn more about changing your settings here Is this the same as e-Invoicing? No – e-Invoicing is an ATO initiative, similar to this but it is only for the digital exchange of invoice information directly between a supplier’s and buyer’s accounting systems, regardless of the software they use. You can learn about e-invoicing here. MYOB Secure invoicing is for all business using MYOBs software, and applies regardless of whether the invoice is being sent to a business or a consumer. Why is MYOB making this change? Cyber security is a constantly evolving landscape with new threats emerging daily. MYOB continuously develops and invests in solutions to meet these challenges, but security is a shared responsibility and requires vigilance from everyone. Financial losses from online fraud and cyber scams cost Australians over $2 billion in 2023. Scam reports from businesses rose by 28%, resulting in $29.5 million in losses. Small businesses, with fewer resources for risk mitigation, were hit hardest, reporting nearly $12 million in losses from false billing—the most common scam. MYOB understands that falling victim to a cyber scam can have very real consequences. That’s why we have developed and will continue to invest in secure invoicing, in addition to other essential security measures like Multifactor Authentication (MFA) and inactivity login timers. Additional questions/objections to this: Is there a legislative/legal mandate that MYOB is adhering to for this change? No, the Secure Invoicing upgrade is a decision MYOB has made to protect business and consumers across Australia. There has been reference to MYOB complying with legislation as part of the verification process and this is still also true when it comes to the Secure payments component. To comply with anti-money laundering legislation, we must verify certain documents in line with KYC (Know Your Customer) regulations. Read more here. What do I have to do? Customers are required to verify their business as part of the upgrade process. This includes identity verification of all ultimate beneficial owners (typically any individual with 25% or more ownership or voting rights for a company) Find out more about verification here Additional questions related to this: I don’t want to give sensitive information to MYOB + How is my data being stored and treated All information will be handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy, which can be accessed here: www.myob.com/au/privacy-policy. For further peace of mind, our current system for verification erases documents after 30 days and does not store them indefinitely. What happens if I don’t want to verify my business and/or I don’t want to upgrade? Customers who do not complete the business verification and upgrade to secure invoicing will be restricted from utilising the MYOB platform for distribution of invoices. This means that distribution of invoices using the secure methods of email, copy link and SMS will be unavailable. Customers can continue to send their invoices themselves however and will need to use a ‘Print to PDF’ option, then manually email the invoice themselves through Outlook, Gmail etc. Additional questions related to this: If I can no longer email invoices through my software, will I still be able to email payslips and other information? Yes the restrictions only apply to the distribution of invoices. There is no restriction to emailing other items. What are the fees and charges for the online payments feature? The fee for secure payments is 1.8% of the invoice value + 25c transaction fee. This only applies if the invoice is paid by a secure payment method. For example, if the recipient of the invoice still chooses to transfer the money to you via bank transfer, there are no fees. But if they paid via Bpay, Visa, Mastercard etc then the fees apply. Please note that there is flexibility with the fees. You can decide whether the fee is paid for by you or by the person paying the invoice (surcharging). *Please note, BPAY fees are unable to be surcharged to the customer. You can also choose whether you want to have BPAY enabled or disabled You can choose whether you want to have secure payments enabled or disabled *Please also be advised, that after completing the secure invoicing upgrade, the secure payments feature will be enabled on by default. Find out more about the fees and charges here Why should I use online payments? (spoiler, this hasn’t been asked yet, but it’s important to know) Using the online payments feature has multiple benefits to you and your business. Get paid faster – the sooner a customer receives an invoice, the quicker they can pay you. But how much of a pain is it to copy a BSB and Account number into your banking app and make a transfer, add in the reference etc. The Pay now button in the invoice makes payment quicker and easier helping you get paid faster. Getting paid faster helps increase cash flow to your business Your customers have more choices in how they pay you. They can now choose to either pay by EFT as they have in the past or they can utilise their credit facilities to benefit them. Better security – online invoice payments use several layers of protection to identify fraudulent behaviour. Peace of mind – A network of verified businesses means fewer risks and safer transactions, so clients can invoice with confidence, and customers can pay knowing they’re interacting with a trusted business. Save time – get automatic notifications when payment is made on an invoice. Payments are automatically recorded in your software and the invoice closed off. Less time chasing payments and debtors. Read all about it here Additional questions/complaints related to this: I don’t want to use the service Why should I verify if I am going to turn payments off afterwards MYOBs position is that Secure payments not only protects businesses and consumers from fraud but it supports businesses in getting paid faster, increase available cashflow and saving time chasing debtors or reconciling. We recommend and encourage customers to keep this feature enabled Thank you for taking the time to read and understand this change more. If you have a question, you are still welcome to reply to this post or start a new discussion in the forum. Kind regards, Mike/MYOB
How to split super contributions between two different super funds for one employee?
Hi MYOB Community, I need advice on a superannuation setup: One of our employees has an SMSF for their SG contributions but also wants an additional percentage (x%) paid into a retail/industry super fund. In MYOB, I understand only one super fund can be assigned per employee card. I tried setting up two superannuation categories (one for SG, one for additional super), but both contributions still go to the same fund listed in the card file (the SMSF). Is there any way to split super contributions between two different funds automatically in MYOB? If not, what is the best practice or workaround to manage this while keeping STP, Payroll Summary reports, and Super compliance accurate? Thanks so much for any help!Customer Reference Number on Invoices
It would be great to have a customer reference number section in customer details that can display on the invoices. Perhaps even a "my reference number" and "your reference number" option. This would help my client's billing team find the right account to pay invoices.
