Allocation of monthly payment to annual purchases

Hi hive mind

 

hoping you can help me a simple explanation on this one, MYOB online chat didnt understand what I was trying to do.  Apparently someone is going to call me back in a week, hoping someone here can help 

 

Note:  I'm not an accountant or bookkeeper, just a basic (and very frusrated) user who really struggles with Accountright

 

Anyway, here is my issue.  I have multiple annual purchases from one supplier (it's insurance if that matters)

 

I have created a Purchase for say $1200 for business insurance, and bank payments are made at $100/month

I have created a second Purchase for say $600 for vehicle insurance and bank payments are made at $50/month

 

Now I can see $50 and $100 withdrawals in my bank feeds.  These can be identified by the $ amount, and each Purchase has a unique identifier (say ABC for the $50, and XYZ for the $100)

 

Is there any way I can set these up to be automagically allocated to the correct purchase, or am I destined to contiunue to have to fish them out each month (as per current), refer a post it note as to which one is which, and manually allocate these

 

Step by step instructions would be appreciated, my skills in MYOB are very low

 

Thanks in advance

    Hi AnnaPoj 

     

    Thank you for your post. If you have the Online invoice payments set up, then there is an option to have it automatically apply the payment to the relevant invoice, but that would only be Sales not Purchases.

     

    The other option is you could set up Bank feed rules, using the statement text of the identifier that you mentioned. To create a transaction rule go to; Banking > Bank Feeds > Select the bank statement transaction > New > Transaction Rule.

     

    For more detailed information and steps on creating rules see our Help Article: Bank feed rules.
