Cards: Certification fields with expiration dates

Thanks for the comment.

The Custom Lists and Fields would be handy if you could enter an expiry date and then MYOB notify you if you try to enter a supplier invoice when it's expired.

The problem is, these certificates of currency can expire anytime so at the moment, I diarise them in my Tasks in Outlook - this sends me a reminder that something has expired and I can then start to make communications to obtain renewed policies.  We have so many subbies and businesses working on our projects it's hard to keep up with those that have expired, suppliers that haven't responded to requests, etc. and so at the moment it's beneficial to keep track using Outlook.  However, it would be really handy if, when putting in a supplier invoice, MYOB alerts you that the workers comp, or subcontractors statement, or public liability has expired.  I can then pursue the paperwork still using Outlook, but at least I know to hold payment or to start chasing.  I don't see the point in having a note on the card file in custom lists/fields if it doesn't remind me.

I've thought about using the Contact log but would be so much easier if it came up at the time you keyed in the invoice.

Subbies/business may have to provide one, two or all three of the above depending on the situation and the ABN type.

On another point re the ABN, if you check an ABN and the current company is "active" but for whatever reason the business becomes "inactive" - does MYOB notify you that it's changed?  We have a lot of subbies that have ABN's that go in and out of business, also the GST status often changes because they start out "not registered for GST" but then change to "registered for GST".  What's the best way to find out about these changes without having to manually check.

It took me days checking the ABN status' when we first got the upgrade - I really don't want to have to spend days each year checking there's been no changes.

Thanks.
