Secure Invoicing
I have a few concerns about the new Secure Invoicing upgrade we are being basically forced to do. We don't have online payments from our customers and probably never will. So now instead of emailing our invoices through MTOB we have to print to PDF and then send through Outlook for example. What if we have 50 invoices to send?? So how do we answer the upgrade questions when we don't have customer payments. Further to this I don't understand why MYOB would need our turnover etc. What has this got to do with Secure Invoicing. MYOB just get around this question by advising of their Privacy Policy.
Payroll Adjustment Issue – PAYG Overstated and Leave Not Reclassified
Dear MYOB Support Team, I would like to seek your assistance regarding a payroll adjustment issue. All adjustments were processed via Payroll > Pay runs > Create pay run. Firstly, I identified that in a pay run processed in October 2025, an amount of $468 was incorrectly classified under “Personal Leave Taken” instead of “Salary and Wages (Gross payments)”. To correct this, I created an adjustment pay run via “Create pay run” to reclassify the amount. However, after recording this adjustment, I found that the Payroll Summary increased instead of remaining unchanged, even though this was intended to be a reclassification only and should not have impacted the total payroll. I then created another pay run via “Create pay run” to reverse the previous adjustment. After completing these steps, the current situation is as follows: 1.The Payroll Summary total has returned to its original level, indicating that the adjustment and reversal have offset each other in terms of gross amounts. 2.However, PAYG withholding has increased by $1,872 (i.e. $936 × 2), suggesting that the tax has been recalculated twice and not properly offset. 3.The amount of $468 remains recorded under “Personal Leave Taken” and has not been successfully reclassified to Gross payments. In addition, both the adjustment and reversal pay runs have already been reported to the ATO via STP. For your reference, the employee was terminated in January 2026. This process was purely to correct the payroll classification, and there has been no overpayment or underpayment made to the employee. Could you please advise how to correct the overstated PAYG amount of $1,872 and properly reclassify the $468 from Personal Leave Taken to Gross payments? Thank you for your assistance.
Paying super to contractors
For those who employ contractors on a time basis and are required to pay superannuation to those contractors, it would be good if there was an easier way to do this than the workarounds currently used. It appears that most people are using an external super clearing house for Super payments to contractors due to the errors generated if trying to setup as an employee and process through MYOB see : https://community.myob.com/discussions/staffing_and_payroll/paying-super-for-contractors/879829?after=MjUuMTB8Mi4xfG98MTB8MTQ6MCwzOToxfDIw Perhaps it is possible to have a linked account e.g. 'Contractors Labour subject to Super' to allocate the contractor's labour payments to (it might need to be specific to that Contractor ??), this account would need to behave like an expense category, remove the GST (if applicable) and then calculate the super on that exGST labour $ value, and link that super $ value to the Contractor's Super Account (probably still need to set them up as an employee but with no wage), it would be good if there was a button that would appear on this type of account ('Contractors Labour subject to Super') to pay their super when paying the contractors invoice and have it all happen automatically. Maybe there's a better way to do it than I've suggested, I don't know the inner workings of MYOB. In the mean time, if people have been successful in paying super to contractors through MYOB, please share what employee settings you needed to use ? (e.g. Labour Hire on both income type and employment basis ??)
Pay Super
Dear Pay Super Team, We have noticed that the Super Payments status in MYOB is marked as “reversal completed,” and no funds have been deducted from our bank account. We have not received any email or communication from the Pay Super team regarding this matter. We have confirmed that there are sufficient funds in our Wise bank account, and all employee Super details are accurate. Could you please advise on the reason for this reversal? Batch ID: 5869983
General Ledger
For a number of years the GL did not balance by the amount of the Retained Earnings. Then you fixed it. Fantastic! This year it appears to be out of balance again - 2025 was correct, 2026 does not balance, again by the Retained Earnings. Can you please explain your thinking on this? GL should balance.Offline File Phase Out
Just got notification that Accountright Offline is being phased out 17th June 2026. Well I guess we all new it was coming one day but the notification period is way to short and it would be very unfair to require those of us who can not run online to change accounting software so quickly and just before end of financial year. It is OK to say goodbye but I would ask you make a clear option available to get us into the new financial year before enforcing this and clarify ongoing access to our own data. I want to understand this line in the notification better "AccountRight desktop isn’t going anywhere. The only change is that your company file/s will need to be online to receive product and security updates, support, and online services." But this contradicts the line "This means if your file is not online after 17 June 2026, you will not be able to open, edit or save your offline file. " So we will we or wont we be able to continue using an existing/ older version indefinitely - noting the above limitations around updates. 20+ years ago I actually had an email from your CEO saying that MYOB would never do this when MYOB started the whole file registration thing. Are you saying that unless we share are file with MYOB, we wont have a way to access our own data?Pay Super Correction
We processed a payroll and then the following week an error in one of the employees pay was discovered, the incorrect pay was reversed and entered correctly. We have not transferred the super through the pay super function to the superfunds yet and when we go into 'pay super' the matching debit and credit for the employee are both there. Is there a way to check them off against each other and remove them off the list so that they are not sent to the superfund? Thank youConnect a Supplier when matching expenses in bank feeds
I am unable to view reports on 'supplier purchases' if these transactions have been matched in bank feeds via a spend money transaction. Apparently we need to enter each transaction as a bill first, then match it. Considering there is a drop down box to match suppliers in the spend money bank feed matching process , why do we need to enter the whole thing again by creating a bill ?? Surely this would not be difficult to put into your software. You should also have a way to retrospectively assign these matched (reconciled) transactions to Suppliers. If there is no solution here, I will probably be another person changing to Xero which I am led to believe does have this functionality inside the bank feed matching process.Accounting for Student Internship Supervision Fees - Superannuation and PAYG Compliance
Hi Everyone, I operate a childcare centre, and we occasionally receive payments from universities for hosting student interns. We intend to pass the full amount of these payments to the specific teachers who act as supervisors for these students. I have a few questions regarding the correct way to process these payments in MYOB and remain compliant with ATO regulations: 1. Superannuation Guarantee (SG): If we treat this payment as part of the teacher’s salary/wages, we are concerned about the additional cost of Superannuation. If we pay the teacher the exact amount received from the university, the added 12% Super expense would result in a financial loss for the centre. o Is this payment considered Ordinary Time Earnings (OTE)? o Is there a compliant way to pass this on without the employer incurring extra Super costs (e.g., deducting the Super component from the total amount received before payment)? 2. PAYG Withholding: Does this payment require PAYG withholding? If we pass the full amount to the teacher through payroll, should it be taxed at their marginal rate, or can it be treated as a different type of allowance? 3. MYOB Setup: What is the best way to set up this "pass-through" payment in MYOB AccountRight? Should it be a specific Allowance category, and how should the Tax and Superannuation boxes be ticked to ensure the centre’s books balance to zero for this transaction? I want to make sure the teachers receive their fair share while ensuring the business does not end up out of pocket due to on-costs. Thanks in advance for your help!
