Hi Guys I have just noticed on or receipts that the date is displayed as mm/dd/yyyy. Does anybody know if this can be changed to dd/mm/yyyy? Thanks Jillus6

I've been with my current company for over 7 years, this isssue has been known about the whole time and MYOB has done NOTHING to fix it. Absolutely ridiculous, we are in Australia, use the date format that is the convention for this country.
Just had a customer ring up in a panic over a receipt saying there were charges from March and July, he thought he was paying twice, junior colleague also in a panic. I had to stop and investigate. But no, it's just the date on the receipt is showing 12/3 and 12/7 instead of 3/12 and 7/12. This has wasted half an hour of everyone's time and phonecalls, and now I'm here having a rant AGAIN about this issue.
Instead of giving us employee benefits and things that we never asked for, fix the basic functionality of the software. It's 2026, we should be able to email receipts from the software, and we should be able to have dates displaying in the correct format. Get your basics right, then work on the fruit.
If you wonder why you have lost market share to Xero, look no further.
Hi SDuddy , all you can do is add a message on the receipt form that the invoice date is formatted as mm/dd/yy. Or put "(mm/dd/yy)" in the column heading.
Hi Mike_James or maybe MYOB could fix the issue so that the date in the document produced by the accounting software confirms to the conventional format in the country that we are in? That seems fairly basic functionality in 2026. As does the ability to email receipts....
