BANK RECS - ANOTHER FIX WE DIDN'T ASK FOR!
Subject: Bank Transactions – New and Not Improved
MYOB.... what is wrong with you all? Bank Feeds and Reconciliations were not broken, but you've gone ahead and fixed them anyway.
So now.... I can't easily do Bank Recs, because the presented Closing Balance is not what is on my bank statement, but rather, equals yesterday’s closing balance plus today's pending transactions. You've created extra work for me and the community. I also don't want most of the AutoMatch or AI functions. Mainly because the software gets it wrong and I have to go in and fix it. I much prefer it being right from the start.
Your "fix" is just making my job harder, and my pending decision to transfer to a well-known competitor a lot easier. Coincidently, they are currently offering free/subsidised migrations.
I just don't get it. It's like you are deliberately trying to fail. Search online for any successful Indie Game that was released in the last five years, and they all did the same thing; they stayed in beta for a prolonged period and watched all the message boards to see what their players actually wanted. Then, they delivered on those desires. The studios that released games that focussed on what they thought players should want to play, well... they all failed. Just ask Ubisoft.
You all at MYOB are not doing what those Indie Games did. In fact, you're doing what Star Wars and Star Trek are currently doing. You think you know better, but you don't. Like them, I would not be surprised if you tried to blame your failures on us.
The community has been blasting messages for the last 10 years begging for improvements where they are desparately needed. All those ideas have just been left on read to slowly waste away in the land of forgotten memories; i.e. The Ideas Exchange.
Given time, I could collate a long list of community desired improvements, but right now, I can think of two off the top of my head.
- Remittance Advices that actually look professional and not something from the early 90's.
- The ability to load supplier payments for multiple suppliers all at once with the functionality to sort by due date. This would considerably cut down the time needed for processing Accounts Payable.
Those two ideas have been floating around for a long while. And I mean a LONG while.
Alas, in summation, to figuratively convey how I feel, I'd like to finish with a quote. So here is one from the great Miles Bennett Dyson - Terminator 2 (1991).
"I don't know... how much longer... I can hold this"
