Expense transaction from prior years
A credit card transaction from 2022 with expense category was unintentionally deleted and then re-entered into the same expense account. However, this action caused the transaction to appear as floating item in the "reconcile account" folder of banking transactions. Additionally, the retained earnings account on the balance sheet was affected and credit card account as well. How can this error be resolved? Thank you and looking forward for your advises.
Coming up: MYOB Product Managers on the Community Forum
1 MIN READ Hey community members, visitors, lurkers and contributors! Here with some exciting news to share with you all. This February, we’ll be kicking off a brand new series here on our Community Forum. Each month, we’ll be spotlighting a different MYOB Product Manager, giving you the chance to learn more about them, their role, and the products or workflows they oversee here at MYOB. After we post an introduction about them, we'll be opening a dedicated Q&A board for the entire week, giving you the opportunity to ask questions for the featured Product Manager. This builds on last years refresh of the Ideas Exchange. It's a chance for new conversations, valuable insights, and a stronger feedback loop between the people behind the products and our community that uses them. You can expect our first Product Manager spotlight on the 3rd of February. We’d love for you to participate, ask anything you're curious about and share your experiences. Looking forward to seeing you all there! Cheers, Amanda.
PAYROLL LIABILITY NOT SHOWING WHEN RECONCILING
our company has an employee who has to pay child support. I have always processed his pay with a deduction made for child support. Then I go to pay payroll liability and clear it off there. Ever since it has always been well and good but recently there has been a problem with some liabilities showing as paid off and some not. There are no liabilities showing left to pay off when i open pay payroll liability section for the full date range. For reference see the screenshot. ( all liabilities pay off except 26/12/24 and 09/01/24)

1 MIN READ Hello everyone, Thank you to all of the MYOB customers, community members, lurkers, helpers and watchers throughout 2024! It has been a huge year for the Community Forum with our major platform upgrade in May and then the refresh of our Ideas exchange in November. With other improvements along the way like board names, archiving of posts, moderator speed to respond and more. I'm looking forward to seeing the potential of this community realised throughout 2025! A sneak peek at what to expect next year will be a refresh of the roles/ranks/badges in the forum and also bringing you more useful content. We will begin publishing information about our app marketplace partners, more blogs with helpful information and one I am really excited about....., you will start to see more from our various product managers in the forum too. Once a month we will spotlight a product manager, allow time for our community members to ask questions and they will also spend some time moderating/answering questions. THIS IS AWESOME. Please see the hours that support is available over the coming holiday period below: *I will make a separate post about the hours of availability for practice support Cheers and I hope that everyone has a happy holiday season. Mike GEnhanced security measures are live - 27/11/24 (Update 19/12/24)
5 MIN READ Hi everyone, Update 19/12/24 - Are you still there? Hello Community members and followers of this security updates thread! Its been a few days since we last spoke. There is a great update coming through already for the inactivity timeout changes in the browser. AND its releasingTodaythe 19/12/24. Users in the browser will now be provided with a warning message 5 minutes prior to the inactivity timeout. This will show at the top of the window with "Are you still there?" and provides a clickable option to confirm "I'm still here" - example image below Update 05/12/24: Session Inactivity Lock for AccountRight Desktop App We've consulted with the ATO and have been able to agree that AccountRight Desktop can be excluded from the 30 minute inactivity lock requirement. We can confirm this feature has now been removed from the desktop app. While the inactivity lock is no longer in place on the AccountRight desktop app, we strongly encourage everyone to implement sensible security measures on your individual devices. This includes setting up automatic timeouts and using password-protected logins for added protection. The 30-minute inactivity lock will remain in place for MYOB Business and MYOB AccountRight in the browser, in line with ATO requirements. Previous update to this post (27/11/24) The changes for inactivity went live today on the 27th November. Specifically for AccountRight, many customers encountered unexpected crashing/freezing of the software after entering their password to sign in again. Work in progress would also be lost due to the crash. I want to assure everyone that this isnot the expected behaviour associated with the inactivity timeout. You can expect the screen to blur and a message pop up. Click sign in again as [user]. Enter your password and you will be back to continue where you were (no loss to work in progress) As a result of the crashing, we have temporarily disabled the inactivity timeout for AccountRight, you will need to close and re-open AccountRight for this change to take effect. Thank you for the feedback, examples and information provided on these issues today. We are continuing to investigate before it is enabled again. I’m updating this post (2:30pm AU 21/11/24), as there have been a lot of comments and engagement in the change. With over 100 comments on the post, we are starting to get the same questions being asked, and answers being missed so I hope to summarise the change and key questions/feedback here. The change/s and timeline September 30 th > MYOB implemented 2FA being required at least once every 24 hours Some initial feedback came through about the 2FA prompt caused customers to lose work in progress MYOB has implemented a fix based on feedback and 2FA is prompted on thefirst login each day to avoid loss of work November 27 th > you'll be asked to sign back in after 20-30 minutes of inactivity (announced November 19 th ) This announcement on inactivity is driving a significant amount of feedback and discussion that I will summarise below What’s changing: FromWednesday 27 November 2024, you’ll be asked to sign back in after 20–30 minutes of inactivity. After this time, your screen will become locked and blurred. To continue working, you'll need to sign back in with your username and password. This applies to the following MYOB software: MYOB Business, MYOB AccountRight and AccountRight browser (online files only), MYOB Connected Ledger, MYOB Business Payroll Only and MYOB Practice. Browser: Desktop: What do you need to do? When you’re presented with theAre you still there?message we recommend that you clickSign in using [existing email]to return to work in progress. Note* 2FA is not required as part of signing in again and your email will automatically be pre-filled Will I lose my work when the screen is greyed out? If you sign back into your account using your existing email, you won’t lose any work in progress and can continue where you left off. However, if you choose to sign in to a different account, your work will not be saved. If you clickBackorReload, or if you don’t sign back in after 12 hours, you'll also lose work in progress. How does the inactivity screen work between Browser and Desktop? When you are logged into both the Browser and Desktop at the same time, each session will operate independently. This means that if you are inactive in the Desktop version, you can remain active in the Browser version. The inactivity timeouts for these sessions are separate from one another. When signing back in after inactivity, do I have to enter my email, password and do 2FA? No, your email will be automatically pre-filled when signing back in using your existing email to both the desktop and browser software. Users will be required to enter their password only. 2FA is still a 24-hour requirement and not required for signing back in after an inactivity timeout. Can I opt out of the new inactivity or 24-hour 2FA security measures? No, as these are mandatory compliance changes in line with industry best practice, they cannot be disabled Why am I being asked to login or do 2FA multiple times a day? Based on scenarios described in the forum + a known issue that MYOB is currently working to resolve, this could be for one of the following reasons. Closing AccountRight using the ‘x’ is currently causing 2FA to be prompted when re-opening the software even if it is less than 24 hours. This was recently discovered as a bug/regression with the last AccountRight 2024.10 release and the team are releasing a fix to this asap.This has been resolved* Opening multiple instances of AccountRight. This seems to something multiple customers are doing when they have multiple files they work on. Instead of switching between files (no login would be required) they are all opened concurrently and each instance of AccountRight that is opened will require a login Is this an MYOB decision or required by the ATO? And subsequently, why do New Zealand customers need to adhere to ATO requirements? Yes, both the 24 hour 2FA and the inactivity timeout changes are mandated requirements from the ATO. This requirement seeks to minimise the opportunity for unauthorised users to access Taxation, Accounting, Payroll, Business Registry or Superannuation related information. Read more on the ATO website here if interested New Zealand customers, although not bound by the same requirements set by the ATO, will share the same security measures as our Australian customers so that MYOB is providing best practice security to all customers. MYOB has also published help articles that explain the changes and can be found below For Australian customershere For New Zealand customershereSetting up additional two-factor authentication methods
Hey everyone! We're introducing a new way to secure your accounts with additional two-factor authentication (2FA) methods. This will prevent sign-in hassles and getting locked out if you can't get codes via your usual method. We recommend setting this up now to ensure you have a backup method to login without needing to contact us. You can set up: - Authenticator app (recommended) on a mobile phone or tablet - SMS sent to your mobile phone - Email (if set up initially) Instructions to set up an additional 2FA method: 1. Log into My Account (myaccount.myob.com). 2. Click your user name in the top-right corner and choose Account security. 3. Click the Add (>) button for the desired 2FA method. 4. Verify your identity with a 2FA code. 5. Follow the prompts to complete the setup. Once set up, you'll be able to receive verification codes via different methods. If you need to remove or reset a 2FA method, you can do so from the same Account security menu. For detailed steps, feel free to check out our Setting up additional two-factor authentication (2FA) methods help article. Cheers, Amanda.

Error 9004
Get the above error when trying to access an old stand alone file after upgrading to a new computer. Have gone back through all the support options that have been on here in the last 12 months and downloaded the installer for 19.5 and thought I loaded it on all ok & run the setup but now when I try to open it say the app has been blocked for your protection by an administrator. I moved the one that was already on there that I couldn't open out of program files but didn't delete it, should I just delete allthe myob software there and re-download & start again? Thanks for any help Mel
Last Reconciled date
Whilst reconciling my November accounts MYOB has now defaulted to historical last reconciliation date in June. The months between June and November have already been reconciled and physical reports printed. The entries for the total period are all still there, but the last date of reconciliation now shows 5/6/24 instead of 7/11/24 which was the last date reconciled. Any help appreciated?Migrating MYOB Account Right Plus from one laptop to another.
Hi,I am using Account Right Plus, its subscription based, online but I do not open in web browser. I want to start using MYOB in a new laptop, can you please advise, do I need to download the software on the new laptop and do a restore of the data currently backed up on my hard drive?Part 2: Announcing Changes to our Ideas Exchange
Hey everyone! We announced that we're starting a new Ideas Exchange on the Community Forum a few weeks ago. You can find the post here if you missed it! As we get closer to the launch of our new Ideas Exchange, the current instance for MYOB Business and AccountRight has now been set to read-only mode for the next two weeks. During this time, you’ll be able to view existing posts, you will not be able to vote and comment on them. This has been done so that we can move your insights to our product teams before we go live with the brand new one! November 12th will see our brand new Ideas Exchange for MYOB Business and AccountRight go live! Once this goes live, the old Ideas Exchange will no longer be visible on the Forum. You can expect to see 30-50 of the top trending ideas that have been posted and voted on by our community members over the years to be reposted on the new one. Just because we're starting fresh doesn't mean we're forgetting it all! We've been working hard to ensure we can formalise a strong product feedback loop between this community and our product teams once we go live with the new Ideas exchange. This ensures that your feedback, ideas, votes and comments are all considered by our product and development teams. Super excited to see you all there! Let me know if you have any further questions! Cheers, Amanda.
