    Hi FiLucas,

     

    Thank you for your post. I'd like to extend you a warm welcome to the community forum. I hope you find it a valuable resource.

     

    When your MYOB business file is created as an individual business type, it doesn't inherently have "Other Income" or "Other Expense" headers or accounts. Instead, it typically generates sub-accounts under Income and Expense for these categories. 

     

    I'd like to inform you that I've taken steps to assist in resolving the issue you encountered. Scripts have been run to aid in fixing this particular issue. Please try clearing your browser cache and accessing your account now to see if the issue has been resolved. If you're still experiencing the issue, please let me know so I can assist further.

Hi TammyD69, 

 

Thanks for reaching out.

 

Generally, if we are creating a ledger account we could choose either to make it a header account or a detail account. May I know if there are any errors while choosing the header account? If there is any error please send us a screenshot of the whole window. 

 

We are looking forward to your reply. If you have any other concerns or questions please include them in your next reply.

 

Cheers, 

Genreve.

There is no option for either a parent header no matter which option you choose. There is not even a Heading in those sections as there is in the Assets, Liabilities, Equity Income and Expenses tabs.

 

You can choose to add an account but the pull down menue for the parent header is blank, no options to choose therefore you cant create an account.

    Hi TammyD69, 

     

    Thanks for the response. 

     

    While creating the accounts if there are no dropdowns for the parent header it means that there is no parent header account yet on the file. Normally, there should be a parent header Other Income while creating this. If there aren't any options on your end please send me a private message containing the following:

    • Serial number 
    • Full name and email address 
    • Company name
    • Screenshot of create account screen

    Let me know if you have any other concerns other than this too. I'm happy to assist. 

     

    Cheers,

    Hi DKBocelli, 

     

    Thanks for your post. 

     

    I have enabled the private message option for your email. May I know if you are experiencing the same issue with the Business Pro/Lite about the parent headers or do you have a different concern? 

     

    We look forward to your reply. 

     

    Cheers,

    Hi DKBocelli,

     

    Thanks for the response.

     

    The error message in the screenshot you sent about the limit resets around 24 hours. You can try sending your private message again after that. Let me know if you encounter any issues after trying again. 

     

    We are looking forward to your private message. 

     

    Cheers,

    Genreve
