Enter Bills - Account Codes Locked
Hi When entering the details of a supplier invoice why has the account code section now been locked ? I am more and more aware that the programmers of MYOB are not data entry operators, they are...

Hi cleanoptions,
Thanks for posting your concern in the forum.
I'm sorry to hear about your difficulties changing the account for a line item in a bill. I understand how important it is that the ledger accounts for these values are all correct. In my understanding, the account that shows in the line item is the default buying expense account in the item settings of the item in question. I would suggest opening the item from the Inventory > Items > Name of the item window. Under buying details, you should be able to correct the expense account for tracking purchases.
Let us know if you require any further assistance.
Thanks,

Thanks Genreve
That advice is a given.
The question was WHY was this section changed on entering the bill - previously one could choose the account if need be ?
One cannot leave this account coding section blank when setting up the inventory items - maybe the program should be changed in this section so one can have the choice to change on entering the bill ?
thanks
thanks
Hi cleanoptions , as I understand it, this change was a decision made to bring the new Essentials behaviour into line with the desktop and browser versions of AccountRight. Every item now has a single related income or expense account that cannot be changed on the bill or invoice.
Again seems like MYOB is getting further and further away from being user friendly.
Hi Mike_James.
Thanks for the response and your insight.
It seems like this is the case as far as checking goes. However, the help articles seem to be not updated regarding this change. Rest assured we will raise this to the development.
We appreciate your feedback regarding this change cleanoptions.
In the meantime, feel free to post again in the forum if you require any other assistance.
Thanks,
Genreve
