One supplier timing out on data entry for Bills

Question

Hi all,&nbsp;MYOB is timing out on data entry for only one of our suppliers today.&nbsp;We started off with an order, when I tried to convert that to a bill I got the wheel of detah, then the time-out waring after about 3 minutes.Tried that several times, same result.&nbsp;Eventually was able to delete the line items, save and close, go back in and delete the order.&nbsp;Since then, I've tried to create a bill from the "In Tray", I've tried to direct enter it from "Enter Purchases" and both have the same time-out issue.&nbsp;I've done a test with other suppliers and have been able to enter bills for several, using both methods (albeit a little bit slower than ususal).&nbsp;Do any of you have any ideas how to get this sorted?&nbsp;I need to reconcile my June 2024 payables.&nbsp;Thanks :-)

Hi Jem,&nbsp;Thank you for your reply - I tried the Timeout Extender, this hasn't resolved our issue, it just extends the time my screen has the rotating circle - for a while hour instead of only a few minutes!&nbsp;Which means I cannot use MYOB at all while this transaction is in progress - I am completely locked out of being able to navigate away from this window in MYOB.&nbsp;As my boss is paying me hourly and I only work two days per week, we cannot afford to lose an hour of my MYOB work time while we wait for the transaction to process!!&nbsp;The issue is only with that one supplier, I can enter any other bills from our other suppliers just fine.&nbsp;As we have constant, inventory-tracked quick-turnover purchases from this specific supplier, I need this resolved urgently as my employer needs to be able to bill the goods to our customer.&nbsp;My employer is less than happy that I cannot process these purchases quickly - they understand it is not my fault but cannot understand why MYOB cannot resolve it.&nbsp;Is there another avenue I can try to have this resolved?

Update:&nbsp;After almost two hours on the phone with MYOB Support, it was an "unexplainable error".&nbsp;I had to backup, uninstall and then reinstall MYOB - once this was done, the error had disappeared.
