Prepare a Bank deposit feature
I would like to see the 'Prepare a Bank Deposit' feature brought into MYOB Essentials. I have a client who has many Sales invoices of the same value and a lot of his customers pay their invoice online so all these payments sit in Undeposited funds. The feature 'Automatically match Bank transactions to MYOB bills and invoices' was also ticked so he now has a mess of invoices that have been matched incorrectly and he has created more of a mess trying to 'fix' it. I think it would be beneficial for him if he could Prepare a Bank deposit and make sure the invoice payments he is picking up aggress to his Online payments report for that day. Could we also make the feature 'Automatically match Bank transactions to MYOB bills and invoices' an option to choose rather than a default?New717Views4likes3CommentsControl-Click to open a new tab in MYOB Buisness
Please can you add the ability to contol-click to open a new window for ALL links in MYOB Buisness. Currently it only works for a few links. Mostly if you want a new window/tab to open, you have to remember to right click the link first and then select "open link in new window/tab". It is frustrating. Just about every other web browser platform has this ability.New195Views1like1CommentPlease bring back these things
So many short cuts that i enjoyed in the old version are missing: The quick menus at the top of pages like invoices and payroll - where once you've viewed an invoice or employee you could click quickly back to the main list. Now you have to click back up into the main menu and find the list again. So annoying. And why doesn't the bank feed default to matching instead of allocate me? Is there a way to fix this? I now have three more clicks to get up my list of matches as it defaults to allocate me instead of match. And the list of possible suggestions is very unintuitive. It was much better before. Now I have to put the price in manually and then a list of matches come up but often it doesn't include the client details, so then I have to click into each invoice to check. So annoying. In the old version when I downloaded a PDF invoice it would default to the invoice number being the title of the PDF - now I have to manually enter it itn. Again annoying. The overdue invoice colour wheel was great - why did you get rid of it? Please bring it back. I am loving now being able to download reports to excel but WHY or WHY can you not let us customise the main part of the reports and not just the expandable info. I want to be able to include a set of information on one line in an excel report, not have a bunch of additional information underneath each other relating to the same invoice - that just makes it impossible to actually do anything with the data. For example I want my overdue invoice report to include the PO number but there is no way to generate this on the same line as the invoice number, client, due date etc., it wants me to put it in the expandable data which makes it really hard to then sor the data once exported. Also, I was really hoping that the double handling of online payments was going to be solved. It's so arduous having to go into delete customer payments so I can match my bank feed.New884Views8likes1CommentComments being available when viewing document in In Tray

I would like to see a full Printable BAS report inside MYOB Essentials similar to BAS Link in AccountRight or the BAS report in BankLink. At the moment it appears this is the only product on the market where this is not possible to produce. Clients have to run a GST report and Seperately a PAYG Report then manually add on the their FTC or Instalments. A very clumsy process. This information prefills in the BAS lodgement area so this is possible but you are unable to print this out and it requires you to be registered for online lodgement of BAS. My preference is that this would be a report in the report section of MYOB Essentials and that it was possible to add in the instalements, FBT and Fuel tax credits manually.

Could we please have reports of Payables with Tax and Receivables with Tax as per AccountRight included in Essentials? I think that most Essentials customers report GST on a cash basis. One of the checks I perform before submitting a BAS is to check the balances of the GST Collected and GST Paid accounts against the amounts to be reported in the BAS. With non-cash reporting, the two should match so that's easy. With cash reporting the difference should be the GST on outstanding payables and receivables at the end of the quarter. Hence I would really appreciate this report being available in MYOB Essentials so that I can complete this check.12KViews70likes26CommentsTemplates: Include Job number on invoices
I'm looking for an update that will add the project information to your invoice. This would allow your customer with multiple jobs to clearly understand which project the invoice belongs to.

I would love to see a 'save and create new' button for creating invoice payments on MYOB Business. When you currently create an invoice payment, you click save and then it takes you back to the 'Invoices' page so adding multiple payments (allocated to different customers) is quite a lengthy process as you keep having to go back into 'Create invoice payment.'

The new sales quote format is a big backwards step, it needs to be improved asap to at least match the previous version which was far more flexible and modular, particularly when putting together a quote with multiple stages and line items. This is an everyday need for our business. - You are no longer able to move line items around in a quote - You are no longer able to insert line items anywhere except the bottom of the quote - You are no longer able to duplicate line items - The column width for 'Description' is too narrow The whole process is now seriously time consuming and annoying - I am considering moving back to Xero unless I see some evidence that MYOB is listening to and acting on the feedback from real users.New1.3KViews6likes6CommentsReport: General ledger details - Gross amount (Amount including Tax)

This is especially frustrating for clients who have recently moved from BankLink and are accustomed to this feature in their reports.

While we like MYOB we are at the point where we think it will be easy to go back to our previous system as this doubles the amount of time we spend on one side of the business adminisration ofinvoicing.

Hi there At the moment MyobLive doesn't seem to have much automated functionalityfor BAS. Given that the system already calcuates the BAS it seems really odd that the user has to manually create a spend journal or a reversal to allocate GST Paid, Collected, PAYG instalment etc, and also fill in the ATO forms. Surely this could all be automated, afterall it's the most confusing thing for small business and the one where MYOB already does much of the heavy lifting (in my case, the main reason for using the package in the first place).
