The Window Size and Location preference was a godsend in V19 and earlier as it allowed you to set up the desktop to give you the best layout for workflows to be easier and quicker.
In 2013 this pre...
I know bank feeds are only new but the intergration with the product needs to be a lot better.
So far I have come across problems with,
The find button not finding transactions that are clearly in the disbursement journal. The transactions had been entered a couple of weeks before the payments showed up in the bank feeds and for some reason the find function just could not find them. Tried everything in the search boxes even putting date back to 2000 still could not find them. Ended up having to go back and re-enter transactions before they were found.
The save window sizes and locations preference does not work if you use find or new in Bank feeds. It works reasonablly well in the rest of the program but once you use bank feeds find or new functions to open any widows they will only open in the one position NOT where you want them.
When you use the Bank Feeds new button to open a Spend Money window it does not allow you to use the recurring transactions function. veryt annoying as you then have to out of bank feed to the normal spend money and use the recurring tranaction then back to bank feed and use the find function.
All of these problems should benot be happening and need to be fixed.

Hi Dan
The transactions that the bank feed function has not been able to find are not reconciled but clearly show in the disbursement journal.
One was a "Transfer money" from the cheque account to the visa card and when you tried to find it, it showed up for the cheque acct which I then accepted but then it would not show up in the visa account. And as this is a transfer it must be in both accounts and reconciled in both.
The other ones have just been "Spend money" transactions that have not been reconciled. What is happening is that it is entered before the transaction appears in the bank feed it does not find it, if it is entered after the amount appears in the bank feeds it finds it ok.
A lot the the recurring transactions in "Spend money" are fixed amount transactions for regular payments, such as loan payments etc. These amounts do not vary every time, only when you set up a new loan and you are then creating a new recurring transaction and deleting the old one.
Not having the recurring transaction function makes the bank feed function useless as you then have to spend time either exiting the bank feeds and going back to 'Spend money' and using the recurring transaction or you have to renter everything you have saved on the recurring transaction through the new button in bank feeds.
This is just a waste of time specially when the program is already way too slow, running at about 30% of the speed of 19.7. I think the best I have been able to get is about 45% but on the average it operates at about 30 % when it should be no less than 90%.
I like the Bank Feeds function it is far superior to the old 'Get bank statement' function, but it just needs to be better integrated into the workflow of MYOB.
Also if the Rules are going to be used more they need to be much simpler to understand and setup maybe an interactive help which explains each step as you go.
