Purchases: Remittance Advice
I would like to have the function on my myob LiveAccounts to enable me to create a Remittance Advice to send to my suppliers to advise of a payment made. Currently when I print an expense (that has already been entered with a payment) to a supplier it produces a 'Purchase Order' document showing the expense, and the payment made. However it would be more suitable for the document to be a 'Remittance Advice' and also have details on the document showing the bank information of the supplier in which the payment has been made to.81KViews476likes193CommentsSetup: Ability to use Jobs
Several of our clients have multiple rental properties and we need to dissect the various properties. Essentials would be an ideal tool for this, but we don't seem to be able to segregate transactions - not worth the additional expense to use Account Right level of product - jobs would be ideal "Essentials - ability to use Jobs"57KViews259likes137CommentsStatements: Ability to personalise statement (i.e. add Logo)
Please can we have the ability to customise our forms, invoices and statements etc? I want to be able to include my logo on my statements. I'd love to be able to add to my invoices a paypal (or other) web address for people wanting to pay by credit card. I'd like to be able to change the wording on emailed invoices. Arrrgh. So frustrating! 'MYOB LIVE customised forms and templates ... my way!"51KViews216likes82CommentsPayroll: Long Service Leave Accrual
It would be great to have long service accrual recorded similar to annual leave. This not only useful for employee but essential for employers. It is available on AccountRight why not make it available here. I feel like I'm going backwards in giving my employees information they need. Please make this a priority on Essentials. Can't be too hard. Cheers50KViews328likes116CommentsBanking: Allocating multiple bank transfers to the one payroll transaction
Hi there, I recently experienced an issue where my payroll was entered correctly, but the payroll officer made erroneous take home bank transfers to the staff. As soon as she realised her mistake, she made a second transaction to those staff members that were underpaid to ensure that they received the correct take home amount. So, everything is correct - it's just that some staff were paid for one pay week in two transactions. Unfortunately, the MYOB live Accounts does not allow you to allocate multiple bank transfers to the one payroll transaction. I thought there must be a way, so I went onto online support to see if they could help. As it turns out there is no way and the recommendation was to redo 2 payrolls to precisely match the two net amounts remitted. I believe that this is a very poor solution. The integrity of the payroll records should be maintained. The payroll record is absolutely correct. It records the hours worked, gross, tax, super and take home pay. It's just that the take home pay was paid in 2 transactions. I should not have to fabricate 2 payroll runs to match the two bank transfers. I strongly believe that the accounting software should allow the allocation of multiple bank transfers to the one payroll transaction. The software already allows for employees to receive pay "split" into seperate amounts within the Employee Pay setup section - but this is not the same scenario. Additionally, some staff were overpaid. In order to adjust for this, the payroll officer paid a lesser amount (by the amount of the overpayment from the previous week) in the following weeks pay to those overpaid staff members. In this event, we have 2 payroll runs and two payments. The individual transactions for the two weeks do not match, but they do reconcile precisely to the right payment having been remitted. I think basically what needs to be able to happen is that any payment should be able to be allocated to any outstanding payroll transactions (or part there of). Would be interested to hear developer thoughts on this. "Allocating multiple bank transfers to the one payroll transaction"Sales: Include Purchase Order on Invoices page
Hi It would be great if the Purchase order number could be displayed in one of the columns when looking at the list of invoices (whether paid, overdue or current) - perhaps between the invoice number and customer name. This would save a lot of time searching to see if an invoice has been created against a particular invoice (rather than opening up each individual invoice) Thanks Bec "Purchase order number displayed on list of invoice"42KViews45likes84CommentsBank rules: Turn off auto allocation
Hi, Just wondering if there is a way to turn off the auto allocation in LiveAccounts as I find it is constantly matching wrong payments to the wrong customer or supplier invoice. Twice I have thought that a bill had been paid as it was cleared out of the system only to receive an overdue notice from the supplier and when I go through and check it has in fact been auto reconciled by LiveAccounts with another incorrect payment "LiveAccounts - Turn off Auto Allocation"Reports: Export all reports to Excel

Hi Feedback from our clients tells us that many clients would like a simple budgeting feature. One suggestion was to enter in either a monthly, quarterly or yearly budgeted figure for each account and then areport to print at intervals to see how the actual expenses are comparing. "Budgeting"Contacts: Individual Payment Terms
We need to be able to apply Payment Terms to Individual Customers. We suggest for this to be an option to be set up under the customer details. Currently you can only set the payment terms at a global level and have to change it every time you create aninvoice for a customer with different payment terms than what has been set as default. Can you please look at this asap as this would save time & improve efficiency! "Individual Payment Terms (customers and suppliers)"23KViews95likes58CommentsOnline Payments: Credit Card Surcharge
Can there be a check box added that willautomatically add the fee's associated with Pay Direct Online to the invoice if i choose to pass them on. Once checked it should add a disclaimer to the invoice that a 2.2% + 0.25 cent transaction fee applies to all payments processed through this service. Then when thecustomer selects view invoice they should be presented with 2 options: firstly - print and pay (direct debit/cheque) the normal invoice amount secondly - a pay now button that has the service charges added, which should also clearly state they are MYOB charges. The pay now button would need toautomatically generate an updated or a standalone invoice for the transaction fee's "PayDirect Online"Report: Balance Sheet - Comparisons
It would be good to have the ability to generate a Balance Sheet and P&L that shows prior period comparative data within Live Accounts. If possible, the option to show additional columns such as $ movement or % movement would be helpful also. Most accountants would find this helpful in analyzing the performance of a business.
