ABA file sorting

Hi

 

Is there a way to sort aba file the same as the payroll report? It's very hard to cross-check if the payroll report has a different order than the aba file.

 

Best Regards,

ACCA

    Hi jorge,

     

    There's no feature in MYOB to sort the ABA file in the same order as the payroll report. What you can do is to on the AccountRight Ideas Exchange board so that the feature sort ABA file will be considered for future enhancements.

     

    Best regards,

    Hi, 

    It's not perfect, and you might already be doing it, but you can open the aba file from excel and choose the 'fixed width' delimiter option and insert one of the delimiter lines before the names. This at least allows you to sort by first name, instead of employee reference number. I've never used the ABA file for any comparisons so I don't know if this will let you do what you're wanting to do.
