Payroll: 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. Cheers50KViews328likes116CommentsLeave Balance Report
In Business Pro the different leave categories print in a different order for some employees. Very easy to make errors when using the data. The categories need to sort and print in the same order for every employee or give us the ability to select the order they print in.New698Views6likes1CommentIn Tray and Bank Transactions: Suggested matches and other improvements
We use the In Tray copiously and match transactions to payments wherever possible. Usually this is to transactions that have come in from the bank. Bank transactions view Ideas: I'd love to see an indicator beside a bank line where there's a suggested match from the In Tray. This suggested match could be based on the date and value extracted from the file. Similar to old Essentials. If certainty is 98%+ I'd like those attachments to be attached without user input. Clicking the suggestion icon could immediately link the attachment to this transaction. Bank lines with attachments have an icon already. Clicking this icon could open a modal preview of the attachment, its OCR details, and a button to immediately "un-link" the attachment(s). Effectively as an un-do for the one-click or automated attachment methods noted above. Areas that could be improved: The "View" link opens a new window with a download prompt. A modal preview or new tab to web-view rather than download would be much faster for us. The In Tray picker is sorted by file upload date, probably the least useful option. It'd be more helpful to sort it with suggested matches at the top, highlighted, then the rest by effective date with those dates that are relevant to the transaction above others. The In Tray picker is a radio button but it needs to be a checkbox allowing multiple selections. When an attachment is linked to a bank line, it can only be downloaded or unlinked. A View option in a modal or new window would be preferable. In Tray view: If suggested matches are re-implemented, the apparently matching bank line(showing date, value, and a truncated description; when clicked show full details in a tooltip) could be added under the relevant file row, with a button to immediately Attach the item and remove it from the In Tray view. In essence I miss suggested matches! And making it easier to pair evidence with transactions would be very helpful. CheersNew1.6KViews19likes1CommentInvoices: Default tax exclusive option
I provide all my business to business quotes as price + GST. The tool currently defaults to 'tax included', which has repeatedly cost me 10% on deals when I'm doing batches of invoices at month end.

Hi MYOB Team, I was delighted about the announcment of the new In Tray feature offered by Essentials - an extremely sensible and practical solution to storing invoices against a transaction. However, I was disappointed when I learned that you can only do this for "Bills".I think many people would be pleased if this functionality could be expanded to include all transaction types. For example, if I go to the petrol station and pay for petrol, I still receive a tax invoice. I would like to be able to scan this and upload it to In Tray and then link it to a "Spend Money" transaction. I hope you will be able to accomodate this request, otherwise people will not be readily able to move away from a paper based record keeping system.

My business transitioned to the new MYOB Essentials a few days ago (January 2023) and I have run my first pay run, it has been quite the journey! This idea would significantly increase efficiency and save me much needed time as this now takes a lot longer to do! When doing a pay run, every time I edit a wage pay item (e.g. entering the number of weekday, weekend hours they work) it recalculates and causes me to wait several seconds before I can enter the next value. I have 4 wage pay items for each employee (week day, Saturday, Sunday, public holiday), multiply this by 50 employees and this means a LOT of extra wasted time. Would prefer if it didn't calculate until I finished with that employee, or if when it calculates it doesnt lock all the other fields.New1.3KViews10likes2CommentsEmployees: Notes - increase character limit

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"42KViews197likes81CommentsSales: Invoice line without value

Our customers don't use Purchase orders so we have no purpose having the field displayed. Additionally the Customers column is so narrow you can't read the name of the customer. So if you are going down a list of invoices for a period of time matching up to our manifest, we can't read enough of the name, so we have to open every invoice to see who it is for, which is a complete waste of time since if the column was able to be wider we would be able to just read the name.
