Master form -Letterhead There is a need for a master form setup for a letterhead. Currently each time you wish to create a new form albeit, a payslip, invoice, statement you have to go to a form and copy and paste (one item at a time, i.e. 1 x logo, 1 x text box). This system is outdated and antiquated and needs a fix. I understand there are different table structures behind the forms, however it is doable in the sense you could leave a section at the top of each form blank so as to access your letterhead. This way you would setup your letterhead once. If you applied changes as such, all forms are then incorporated with the change. I would appreciate being kept abreast of the response to this and community interest in same.

I use timesheets that are imported into MYOB Premier. Prior to 1.7.14 we were using Powerpay and importing into that. I don't use Base Hourly or Base Salary as I have a mixture of casual and full time staff so I have my own payroll items set up and have done so for years. Obviously it was simpler process to carry the old Powerpay items into Premier. I have a problem when when changing an employee's base-hourly rate. The number of hours per week (which I've now had to set to 1 for every employee as a safeguard as it won't let me put in zero),re-populate into the standard pay line. If this isn't checked and taken back to zero, then a standard pay will be added to whatever imported hours are paid. In some instances, an employee hasn't worked a particular week but because there was a 'standard pay' set up, he got paid. I've missed correcting this auto population for a couple of junior staff members when base rate was increased for birthdays. One of them still had 15hrs per week as his base number of hours. He has now been overpaid to the tune of $2,000!!! as it wasn't picked up, even by him as he's been unwell and thankfully, not really used his bank account much. Coming from using Powerpay where I didn't have to double check what was imported into it, I want to put in a formal request to have at least the automatic repopulation of standard pay stopped. Perhaps if some actually like to use it and want to keep it, maybe it could be done as an option rather than automatic. It would safeguard those who import timesheets. I don't want to have to try and use base hourly as it will throw everything else out. Hopefully this is something that can be considered for a future update. Obviously not to Premier but to Accountright, which I plan to take this client across to shortly. I'm happy to chat on the phone with someone further if more clarification is required.

Hi MYOB, Since I've started to use MYOB over a couple of years ago, I've struggled with issuing Invoices as the Invoice number field is way too short.

Your MYOB invoices that you issue to me is 13 characters so why do you restrict us with only 8? Other company's invoices have the following characters in their Invoice number field: - Yarra Valley Water = 15 characters - MYOB = 13 characters - Telstra = 12 characters - Vodafone = 10 characters I really hope that this could be changed soon so we could finally put our actual invoice numbers on our invoices.

The current platform only allows for timesheet hours to be allocated based on the 'hourly rate' assigned within the employee card in MYOB. This is not compliant for the majority of users as employers are required to meet NES and Award/Enterprise Agreement pay rates which vary dependant on role, hours work, time of day etc. Ideally, when an employee submits a timesheet, they should be able to select a role or perhaps a location that stipulates that role, which in the back end of MYOB payroll setup shoudl automatically calculate the correct hourly rate. The current timesheet function doesn't offer much more than a replacement of manual timesheets. The payroll administrator is still required to reallocate hours into the correct category through payroll - so no time saving benefit and does not offer any compliance assistance. This effects all employers, as all employers are subject to Award or Enterprise Agreements. As an example, I am the payroll manager for a Real Estate Agency with 160+ staff. We look to predominately use timesheets for staff who are paid on a per hour basis (casuals). Each casual can work in varied areas accross the business, which attract different rates dependant on qualifications and skills required. Under the current setup, my casuals could only enter a timesheet based on start time, end time and breaks taken. This would then allocate in MYOB as 'base hourly' which pulls the rate from the employees card. Ideally, I need to be able to allocate hours to various casual rates in accordance with the Company's Enterprise Agreement. We also need to be able to submit expense reimbursements such as KM's reimbursed for business travel.
