Recurring General Journals

Hi

in MYOB Business I have a series of GJs that need to be posted each month, for example for prepayments. The amounts and accounts do not change only the date and memo. 

How does this work in MYOB business. This file was in accountright where I went to the recurring GJs, opened them, changed the date and saved and they would post to the ledger. In Business I seem to be overwriting my previous months journals.

thankyou

    Hi MezIndustries,

     

    I get why this can be confusing. The desktop version and browser version handle recurring transactions a bit differently.

     

    In MYOB Business, a recurring general journal works like a template. If you open it and change the date or memo, it updates the template instead of creating a new month’s journal.

     

    If you want it to stop repeating, open the recurring transaction and set the frequency to Never, or delete it.

    If you need a separate journal each month, let the recurring transaction create the new entry instead of editing the template.

     

    You can read more about how recurring transactions work here: https://www.myob.com/au/support/myob-business/accounting/transactions/recurring-transactions?productview=Browser

     

    Regards,
