Remove the automatic cheque numbers for every transaction in spend money and payroll. Most clients use internet banking & EFT these days, so cheques shouldn't be the default option. If you write a cheque you should manually enter the cheque number in MYOB.

hi David_Cree
Thankyou for your post. I'm sure it will help a lot of peoople.
I used to be one of the people who complained about myob defaulting to the cheque number when we always use EFT these days. Then I came across another post in the MYOB community which also explained to just use it like a reference number, and type in CH for actual cheque numbers.
It has been so much better to do it this way. Like you say, transactions should all have unique id numbers.
I agree that MYOB should just change the title of the field from 'cheque number' to 'reference number' (or 'transaction number')

I have rules setup in my bank feeds and recently when it automatically matches and I mark it as approved it is automatically selecting a cheque number. This has changed recently for all my clients MYOB files and it is frustrating having to go back into the transaction to remove to cheque number. Why has this changed and how can it be corrected so this doesnt happen.

I see this was first posted in 2012 and still nothing has been done about it.

Agree nothing done - why not is the question. This is an important issue now as cheques are all but gone. MYOB need to sort this now and a few years down the track and we as users have not been heard.

Please MYOB for the umteenth time can you get rid of the auto cheque number in the payments screen and replace it with EFT as the autofill. This is the 21st Century. No one uses cheques any more. PLEASE. I have been asking for a few years now. Time to move into the real world.

The problem is in the payroll, spend money or pay creditors functions. It is a waste of time to have to type EFT every time. The default should be EFT and cheques should be the hard code option. I have been asking MYOB to do this for years. Really guys!!!
This does not seem to be resolved and it is very frustrating! Could someone from MYOB please ensure this is done as quickly as possible!! The time I am spending re-entering EFT into the cheque number box is ridiculous!!

This suggestion has been open for 8 years. Frustrating that despite how much we are all paying for this program, highly desired updates, which would increase satisfaction and improve workflow are not actioned on by MYOB.
Very bad customer service.

I have been going on about this very point to MYOB for many years. No action despite the platitudes.

Thank you for taking this into consideration. I agree a cheque number should not be default. Today's society use minimal cheque transactions. I find the auto check numbers frustrating for payroll as I have to override every employees pay check Auto#. I see the original post is quite old (2012). Has this been rectified yet? I'm hoping there are other default options.
