reporting of purchases

Feebie

We have purchases which go to a supplier paid on invoices received.  We also have purchases that go to the same supplier thru Bank Feed automated transactions - the rule is set up properly and goes to the same supplier card.

When we run a report on the supplier thru the Supplier Payments Report - this gives just one actual total for the period (we ran for the July - June 20-23 yr) and then asked for the Supplier Payment History Report thinking this report would provide a breakdown history of the total already provided.... however, the total of this report is much, much less.  On investigation we find the payments which went thru from the Bank Feed automated payments, although set to go to that supplier, are not showing on the History report.  They are also not showing on the Analyse Purchases report.

Please advise ASAP if we are doing something incorrect that needs to change.

Thank you.

Hey Mike - Thank you,  I appreciate the time you have given in replying, but I beg to differ.

When you generate a report that gives you a total value of expenditure against a suppliers card, and then you generate the report right next to it that supposedly gives you a history of the same supplier, then really it should show ALL transactions made under that supplier - whether they be recorded as spend money or not - they are all against the same supplier card - they are all purchases and should be reported as such. If one report can generate a total, the other report could surely show a history to match it.
The whole point of bank rules for recurring transactions is to save time - what good are bank rules for recurring transactions if you can't set them up for this - it asks in the rules for the suppliers card.
The reporting isn't accurate if you can't match a total given in one report, to the history of transactions in the other. I think this is wrong of MYOB to set it up this way if that's the case  - it would would make more sense for both reports should show the total of expense with that supplier.  If it's only showing half the answer, then the report is useless really.
