Supplier payment terms on supplier card ignored

Can someone please explain this issue:

 

Every single supplier invoice that I now process using MYOB online, determines that all our suppliers have COD terms?? This is annoying when you are working with dozens of supplier invoices having to change this field on every single invoice.

 

MYOB does not pick up the payment terms which are clearly stated on the supplier card. The card was originally set up in the desktop version with all this information and has worked fine for the last 15 years, however, as we now have to work with MYOB online, this information somehow does not exist!  I have checked the online supplier cards  - the only information one is able to insert there are the suppliers name, address, tel no, email address, ABN and bank details -  I can find no reference to the credit limits or terms which are clearly shown on his card on the desktop version. None of these fields are on the online supplier card??  Why?

  

What is the point of this information being on the supplier card if MYOB does not even look at it, particularly if the online version is only looking at half the information available on the desktop version?

 

Hopefully MYOB have a solution for this?

Thanks

Jossie64

    Hi Princess

     

    Thanks for your reply, however, can you please clarify; 

     

     "browser currently uses the default payment terms set in your settings"

     

    Can you please advise which particular settings are you referring to as this (settings) link that you have provided in your reply, has absolutely nothing to do with purchases and is only relevant to how to receive payments for sales!. Hence the heading on the page this goes to:  "Set up your invoice payment details"

     

    Under the "purchase settings", my options are layout, templates (i.e remittance advice) and email defaults.  Nothing about payment terms there either.   

    Suppliers have always had "trading terms" other than COD!  This is not a new concept!

     

    I find it hard to believe that something as essential and important as TRADING TERMS , should be classified as "an idea"? 

     

    And just by the way, the "idea" link that you have provided in your reply, and which you have stated is "currently open for votes", just goes back to the Home MYOB Community page, with a message "Access Denied - you dont have access to this or it does not exist"!  which is not helpful!

     

    I also note that this particular issue regarding supplier payment terms, was raised on this forum, THREE YEARS AGO....  and its still an IDEA???

     

    Does MYOB have actual time frames to fix issues?  Im still waiting on a fix for the payday super payment number not updating which other users raised more than 6 months ago  - or is this also still just an " idea"??

     

    Regards

    Hi Jossie64,

     

    I totally feel your pain on this one. Having to manually switch payment terms for dozens of suppliers is the last thing you want to spend your day doing, especially when desktop used to handle it for you automatically.

     

    At this stage, supplier-specific payment terms saved on the AccountRight desktop supplier card aren’t available on the supplier card in the browser version. The browser currently uses the default payment terms set in your settings, so the terms may need to be adjusted on each bill when a supplier has different arrangements.

     

    We’ve raised this as an enhancement on our Ideas board, where our product team reviews customer feedback and feature requests. The idea is currently open for votes, so adding your vote would help show how valuable this feature would be for managing multiple suppliers.

     

    Cheers,

    Princess

    Hi Jossie64, 

     

    Thanks for calling this out, and sorry for the confusion. You’re right, Sales settings > Payments is for sales, so it wasn’t relevant to your question about supplier terms. There is currently no option to set default payment terms for purchases. 

     

    The previous suggestion was posted on the old Community forum, which is no longer accessible on the current platform. I’m sorry that link is no longer useful. If you’d like to raise this again, you can submit a new suggestion through the MYOB Business Ideas Exchange, where other users can support and comment on it. There’s no confirmed timeframe for this enhancement.

     

    The Pay Super reference-number issue is separate. It’s being discussed here: Pay Super reference not updating automatically. There’s no confirmed timeframe available for that issue either.

     

    Thanks again for raising this. I understand it’s not ideal having to manage this manually.

     

    Regards,

    Genreve

    FYI - The link that you have provided in your reply  - MYOB Business Ideas Exchange - gives me the same reply as the last link:

    takes me to Home -  MYOB Community page, with a message "Access Denied - you dont have access to this or it does not exist"
