- We have just converted over to MYOB from Quickbooks. We are disapointed with the quote/convert to invoice system. In Quickbooks we could convert a % of the quote or certain items on the quote. We could then go back in at a later date and invoice the amount remaining from the quote to be invoiced. We also use rather long descriptions in our study descriptions and MYOB does not allow enough characters for this in the description box. These are quite basic functions offered by Quickbooks and I believe should be in MYOB. I am sure many businesses would want a % payment prior to starting a job?

HiMYOB team, Could MYOB please look to improve the function around saving pay runs? Currently, if a pay run has already been saved and is reopened, the options are to choose 'New Pay Run' or 'Continue'. If you mistakenly choose 'New Pay Run', there is no warning that your current pay run will be deleted. In theory this means you could lose a massive pay run for 100s of employees with the simple click of a button. Is it possible to add a layer to this, so that if you click 'New Pay Run', a warning window pops up where you'll need to confirm that you'recertain that you want to start a new pay run?

I think the Bank Feed feature is great but it has a big problem. When you go Find & Spend Money you can not select a RECURRING TRANSACTION. Therefore, you have to go out of Bank Feeds & Into Banking & Spend Money & process the transaction as we used to do it. That means you still need to PRINT off your bank statements for data entry. I thought the idea of Bank Feeds is that you could do away with paper bank statements & process Recurring Transactions on the Bank Feed screen. We are really not saving that much time with the Bank Feeds screen it would greatly improve productivity & stress if we could select Recurring Transactions in the Spend Money feature in Bank Feeds?

I am new to MYOB, but very unhappy with how the software deals with credit notes on remittance advices. When we pay Suppliers ( 100+ per month) we always have a mix of invoices to pay and credits to take. Whilst the system will take up the credits the Supplier is not getting the breakdown on the remit advice. The remit advice needs to show invoices line by line and ALSO credits line by line. That way the Supplier knows exactly what the total amount represents. I have discussed this issue with 2 Live Chat consultants and both have no solutions, one even suggests to "hand write" the information. The remit is supposed to be emailed so that option is not professional enough for such a well known system. My previous software package of 20 years handled this simple accounting task perfectly. Keen for feedback and also a software enhancement quickly. Given credit and invoices are entered the same way except with a negative value I am surprised this issue has not been resolved by other retailers paying suppliers years ago!

Is it possible to have a 'Sales Note' field where you can record certain notes about a customer that staff must be aware of during EVERY sale?

In order for staff to remember to do this it would be great if there was a pop up prompt when that customer is picked for a sale that reminded staff of this specific procedure.
