How to find a spend money transaction in MYOB by supplier name

Question

How do you find a spend money transaction in MYOB by supplier name?

ttcm · Answer

The payment does not have a bank transaction as its cash. I just simply want to look up the price I paid a supplier. This is why I want to search by supplier name. Also, I would like to see what other transactions I have done with them in the past. Other finance software has a simple search feature.... not sure why the supplier name would be complicated or not available? Seem common. Thanks for your help. Hopefully you can suggest a way.

Hi againi know there has been a bit of back and forth with this request&nbsp;if find transaction isn't working because you can't find the bank transaction because it doesn't,t sort by supplier name.&nbsp;the only thing you can search on is the description which , if you use bank feeds , is the statement entry from the bank&nbsp;so if ,for eg, you pay Big Black Books but the bank entry is direct debit BBBooks you won,t find it by searching for big black books you would need to use BBBooks&nbsp;the best business practice for recording invoices from suppliers and their subsequent payments is to enter a bill and then record the payment of the bill as and when it is paid. Especially if you use them a lot&nbsp;sorry there isn't an easy solution ..lisa

Hi&nbsp;You can't&nbsp;&nbsp;what are you trying to achieve ?&nbsp;perhaps what you want to achieve can be done another way&nbsp;as I said before you need to know what you are looking for from the bank statement to successfully use the banking find transaction&nbsp;&nbsp;have you thought of doing a search in the bank itself. How did you pay the account&nbsp;most banks will have payee names that you can search for transactions&nbsp;&nbsp;this will give you the statement text that you can search with&nbsp;lisa&nbsp;

I understand what you are saying and what you are asking&nbsp;&nbsp;however the information you can search for is only as good as the information that you enter into myob&nbsp;i have offered you all the options I can think of&nbsp;other than searching through all your transactions to find one that will offer some insight as to how it has been recorded is the only way&nbsp;&nbsp;if you know what account in the general ledger you would allocate it to that would limit the transactions you have to look through&nbsp;&nbsp;sorry I have exhausted all options I can think of&nbsp;&nbsp;if you paid by cash though how do you usually record this transaction. For instance is it through petty cash or owners funds&nbsp;sometim you need to think outside the square&nbsp;&nbsp;Lisa
