Tab key function no longer working in date area of invoice.
Hi since the recent 2025.2.1.9 update I can no longer use my left hand keyboard Tab Key function button when entering a date on either an invoice or a quote. You now have to manually type your date in then move the Mouse cursor to enter in further information. When you have multiple entries this is extremely time consuming!! Can I please have a MYOB representative attend to this please. Thank you.
Timesheet Reports for Specified Period
Hello, Early last month I was able to produce two different timesheet reports, Timesheet Details and Timesheet Summary which both allowed for specific time periods to be selected. I now only have one option for a timesheet report which only reports one week at a time. This is not very useful if your pay period is longer than one week. Does anyone know how to find this report, or if this reporting feature has been removed?
Superannuation Expense Showing in Wrong Accout
Hi, I wonder if someone could help me please? There are 2 bank accounts for the one business. Superannuation Payment is set to come out of bank account 2. When the payment is processed through MYOB the person processing forgets to have it come out of bank account 2 & shows it coming out of bank account 1 in bank transactions. How do I fix this please? The superannuation payment has been accepted. Thanks
MYOB Secure Invoicing Upgrade: update and Summary 11/03
6 MIN READ Hi everyone, Due to a high number of comments (and MYOB replies) about Secure invoicing, I am posting a summary of the change, frequent questions/complaints and the answers from MYOB to make it easier for everyone to find this important information. I will also be archiving the previous discussions on the forum so that this new post becomes easier for customers to find. It is a long update, but in the interest of transparency, fairness and to avoid any concerns around censorship, I am doing my best to make sure everything is covered. The Secure Invoicing upgrade began with a small test group of customers in October 2024, and we have continued to roll this out to more customers in small batches since then. We are some time away from this being released to all customers, so don’t worry if you have not heard of it or seen any communication from us. What is the Secure invoicing upgrade? Secure invoicing is an important upgrade being rolled out this year to customers who send invoices on MYOB subscription plans. From MYOB Business Lite, through to AccountRight Premier. The upgrade adds multiple layers of security for your business, plus automation features designed to help you save time and accelerate cashflow. The Secure Invoicing ecosystem is a combination of the secure distribution of invoices using MYOBs trusted software (Email, SMS, CopyLink) and the ability to accept secure payments. Secure invoicing includes: Always-on fraud monitoring for transactions and payment activity Secure payment methods MYOB verified badge End-to-end secure invoice distribution Additional questions/objections to this: Why is online payments combined with secure invoicing? + Online payments should be separate / I don’t want online payments + I’m happy to have additional security with invoicing but I don’t want to have payments. The distribution of invoices using MYOB software, fraud monitoring and secure payment of invoices is combined into a single MYOB Secure invoicing ecosystem to provide the best possible protection for businesses and consumers. Although these features are combined, you have the flexibility to adjust settings to suit your preferences around the secure payment methods. Learn more about changing your settings here Is this the same as e-Invoicing? No – e-Invoicing is an ATO initiative, similar to this but it is only for the digital exchange of invoice information directly between a supplier’s and buyer’s accounting systems, regardless of the software they use. You can learn about e-invoicing here. MYOB Secure invoicing is for all business using MYOBs software, and applies regardless of whether the invoice is being sent to a business or a consumer. Why is MYOB making this change? Cyber security is a constantly evolving landscape with new threats emerging daily. MYOB continuously develops and invests in solutions to meet these challenges, but security is a shared responsibility and requires vigilance from everyone. Financial losses from online fraud and cyber scams cost Australians over $2 billion in 2023. Scam reports from businesses rose by 28%, resulting in $29.5 million in losses. Small businesses, with fewer resources for risk mitigation, were hit hardest, reporting nearly $12 million in losses from false billing—the most common scam. MYOB understands that falling victim to a cyber scam can have very real consequences. That’s why we have developed and will continue to invest in secure invoicing, in addition to other essential security measures like Multifactor Authentication (MFA) and inactivity login timers. Additional questions/objections to this: Is there a legislative/legal mandate that MYOB is adhering to for this change? No, the Secure Invoicing upgrade is a decision MYOB has made to protect business and consumers across Australia. There has been reference to MYOB complying with legislation as part of the verification process and this is still also true when it comes to the Secure payments component. To comply with anti-money laundering legislation, we must verify certain documents in line with KYC (Know Your Customer) regulations. Read more here. What do I have to do? Customers are required to verify their business as part of the upgrade process. This includes identity verification of all ultimate beneficial owners (typically any individual with 25% or more ownership or voting rights for a company) Find out more about verification here Additional questions related to this: I don’t want to give sensitive information to MYOB + How is my data being stored and treated All information will be handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy, which can be accessed here: www.myob.com/au/privacy-policy. For further peace of mind, our current system for verification erases documents after 30 days and does not store them indefinitely. What happens if I don’t want to verify my business and/or I don’t want to upgrade? Customers who do not complete the business verification and upgrade to secure invoicing will be restricted from utilising the MYOB platform for distribution of invoices. This means that distribution of invoices using the secure methods of email, copy link and SMS will be unavailable. Customers can continue to send their invoices themselves however and will need to use a ‘Print to PDF’ option, then manually email the invoice themselves through Outlook, Gmail etc. Additional questions related to this: If I can no longer email invoices through my software, will I still be able to email payslips and other information? Yes the restrictions only apply to the distribution of invoices. There is no restriction to emailing other items. What are the fees and charges for the online payments feature? The fee for secure payments is 1.8% of the invoice value + 25c transaction fee. This only applies if the invoice is paid by a secure payment method. For example, if the recipient of the invoice still chooses to transfer the money to you via bank transfer, there are no fees. But if they paid via Bpay, Visa, Mastercard etc then the fees apply. Please note that there is flexibility with the fees. You can decide whether the fee is paid for by you or by the person paying the invoice (surcharging). *Please note, BPAY fees are unable to be surcharged to the customer. You can also choose whether you want to have BPAY enabled or disabled You can choose whether you want to have secure payments enabled or disabled *Please also be advised, that after completing the secure invoicing upgrade, the secure payments feature will be enabled on by default. Find out more about the fees and charges here Why should I use online payments? (spoiler, this hasn’t been asked yet, but it’s important to know) Using the online payments feature has multiple benefits to you and your business. Get paid faster – the sooner a customer receives an invoice, the quicker they can pay you. But how much of a pain is it to copy a BSB and Account number into your banking app and make a transfer, add in the reference etc. The Pay now button in the invoice makes payment quicker and easier helping you get paid faster. Getting paid faster helps increase cash flow to your business Your customers have more choices in how they pay you. They can now choose to either pay by EFT as they have in the past or they can utilise their credit facilities to benefit them. Better security – online invoice payments use several layers of protection to identify fraudulent behaviour. Peace of mind – A network of verified businesses means fewer risks and safer transactions, so clients can invoice with confidence, and customers can pay knowing they’re interacting with a trusted business. Save time – get automatic notifications when payment is made on an invoice. Payments are automatically recorded in your software and the invoice closed off. Less time chasing payments and debtors. Read all about it here Additional questions/complaints related to this: I don’t want to use the service Why should I verify if I am going to turn payments off afterwards MYOBs position is that Secure payments not only protects businesses and consumers from fraud but it supports businesses in getting paid faster, increase available cashflow and saving time chasing debtors or reconciling. We recommend and encourage customers to keep this feature enabled Thank you for taking the time to read and understand this change more. If you have a question, you are still welcome to reply to this post or start a new discussion in the forum. Kind regards, Mike/MYOBMYOB Payroll, not operational
Hi is anyone else experiencing problems with processing pays right now? MYOB Account Right Payroll is losing Pay Runs and presenting dates that are not current in the pay cycle, now after processing the entire pay, it has an empty pay showing... this happened back in January 2025 when I was forced to reenter all of my pays? Anybody able to help?OTP Ghosting you?
Was your OTP silent? or was it silenced? If you're setting up Connected Accounts in Solo and waiting for an OTP (one-time password) from your bank that never shows up… you’re not alone. Some banks send OTPs via their app, but others send them via SMS, and that's where things can get a bit messy. We’ve seen cases where the OTP text gets blocked by your phone or your phone provider before it even hits your screen. One user found out her phone had automatically flagged the bank’s number as spam. Yikes. Here’s what you can do: Check your blocked numbers or messages On most phones, you can find this in your Messages or Phone settings. Look for blocked or spam folders and see if your bank’s messages have ended up there. Unblock the number if needed If you spot a message from your bank in the blocked list, make sure to unblock it so future OTPs can come through without a hitch. Contact your mobile provider If nothing’s showing up on your phone, your provider might be filtering it out before it even reaches you. Give them a ring and ask if they’re blocking any numbers or messages. Once you’ve cleared the way, try again. That OTP should come sailing through. Still no luck? Our team’s always here to help. Hit us up in the app or through support.
Can't change transaction date to a different month
If I open a transaction window and click in the date field there are 'Previous month' and 'Next month' buttons. These used to work as advertised but now if I click either of these buttons the date window closes and the date remains the same. I can change the date to a different day within the current month by clicking on it, but I can't change months. Also, if the last few days of the previous month appear at the top of the date window, I can't select one of these either. The cursor changes to a circle with a slash through it to let me know it's not allowed. I can, however, type a date in a month other than the current month and it is accepted. This is now the only way to change the month of a transaction. I'm sure this behaviour is new and the date window used to function as you would expect.
Error received when clicking into employee card
Hello, Each time I click on the arrow to access an employee card I receive an error message. I've checked and there is only one employee ID 1615 (as per error report) and I need to amend details for this employee. Please assist me with this problem. Thanks heaps :)Paid 10 cents less than payslip
Hi I've just noticed that I transferred one of our employees 10c less than the payslip and therefore can't match off the transaction. This was back in January. Given the low amount the employee isn't too concerned. Without reversing the payrun, given it was back in January, what is the easiest way to be able to reconcile the transaction? Thanks
