We’ve taken some of the best features of AccountRight and made them mobile. AccountRight and your smartphone now give you the ability to manage your accounts and cashflow on the go.

The new MYOB OnTheGo app is available to download from the Apple App Store (AU) (NZ) and Google Play (AU) (NZ).

What can you do with the app?

Well, when you pull up for a job, first check the OntheGo app to see if the client owes you any money. No? Great, get out there and do your best work.

When you finish up, you can simply invoice your client on the spot. No need to jot down what you’ve just done and wait until next time you’ve got your computer open to create an invoice. You can even email it straight to your client from your phone. So handy for saving you from all that “Oh, I never got that invoice from you” hassle.

See how easy it is to invoice on your phone.

Received a call about some new work? Create a new contact in AccountRight, and when it comes time to visit, the app will sync with your phone’s map software and give you directions.

Best of all, any changes you make are updated in real time, so the moment you change anything, it’s in your online file, so anyone else you work with has access to the information you enter via the OnTheGo app.

Visit the MYOB website (Australia) (New Zealand) for more information, or download the app and see if it changes the way you do business.

That's fantastic!

I'm downloading the OntheGo App now.

Actually the Pay Direct App is really good anyway except for not being able to use item invoices on an Andriod - but that's all up and running too.

Thanks very much for letting me know!

Hi CarolineH and AlanT

Thanks for commenting on the blog.

Those of us lucky enough to have had access to the Australian PayDirect app will notice a lot of similarities between the apps, yes.

PayDirect is targeted at new customers in Australia, while the MYOB OnTheGo app is aimed at both AU and NZ subscribers (although Pay Direct can be added as a service in Australia).

At the moment, OnTheGo only integrates with AccountRight, but stay tuned.

Hope this helps,

Hi samdacombe,

Thanks for dropping me a line on the blog.

To get the most out of invoicing in OnTheGo, you need to set the default template you want in your customer contact card in your AccountRight company file. To do this, go to the Selling details tab of your customer card. Select the invoice template you want to use in the Printed Form section.

The App uses the default you set in the customer card, so if you primarily use item invoices, select your default item invoice here.

Hope that helps,

Hi Merrin

Is this just a new name for MYOB's Pay Direct. The screen shots look exactly the same.

And is it AR only? Or also for Essentials?

It is very convenient having access to Account Right info while on the go however the invoicing option seems a little weak.

I dont seem to be able to use any of my templates for the completed invoice, I also cannot choose anything but a Service invoice when we primarily use Item invoices

Hi Stephen (Stephen_Blackt)

Thanks for dropping us a line on the blog.

At the moment, the OnTheGo app supports Service and Item invoices, but not Timebilling.

Cheers,

Hi Merrin,

At the conference, I thought they said it was a full feature / version of AR.

Hi Stephen, (Stephen_Blackt)

At the moment, the app takes the most commonly used invoice types and lets you create them from your mobile. Time-billing invoices created in your AccountRight file will appear in the app as unpaid invoices, so you can mark them as paid or chase them up. You just can't create them yet.

There are plans to continue adding functionality, so if you'd like to suggest time-billing invoices on the Ideas Exchange, others can add their votes and voices to this feature. It's a great way to help us prioritise what we work on next.

Thanks,

Hi guys,

I have downloaded the new app for my android and think it's a great start.

Can I suggest the we be able to see and add Header Lines and potentially Job numbers when we view our invoices?

Cheers,
Bernie.
