Find Transactions: Search by description transactional line

Is there any chance that MYOB will introduce a stronger "Keyword" search capability in Account Right & Essentials?

Seems like clients will need to be able to search & find older Invoices & Client details based onKeywords rather than just phone numbers, Invoice ID's etc.

Is this something that can be developed?

Cheers,

My recent update to AccountRight Plus 2013.5 has included Search by description. Well done MYOB!

It's not obvious though, I've only stumbled on this by accident. This is how:

Use the "Find transaction" button in the Command centre, click the "Advance..." button, search by "All accounts", fill other fields as required, then on the "Memo/Payee" line, enter the text you want to search.

 The results will include purchase and sale invoices that has the search term in one of their item description.

Hi, I would very much like this field to be included in the list of available fields for account reporting ie account transaction,   journal reports, general ledger

It is not possible to analyse an account code or provide a useful complete list of transactions as the transaction reports do not include the description field.  So instead of a quick report with all the info stored in MYOB I have run an inadequate report and then under find transactions drill down into every invoice and manually enter that description into the report downloaded from MYOB.  Thats not very efficient given that the description has already been entered.

Thanks

Hopefully this will be introduced to all versions of MYOB (including older version like Premier v19) as it would save considerable time in reviewing accounts and making any necessary adjustments.

A great feature would be to find transaction details based on the descriptions entered into the transaction entry screens, rather than merely the memo field (including the GST coding per line item).

As this would facilitate compliance with tax law as well as enabling consistent account coding for similar transactions.

We often want to search sales by description - for example when a very regular customer brings something back under warranty.

Or for us, we often get requests to order in the same model product as we special ordered a few months ago, and they can't give us the details as it's not with them.

Currently we end up guessing the rough price it would have been while looking at a date range we've guessed it was purchased in. We're getting pretty good at it now ;-) But it would be very nice to have this feature.

Hi Dan,

I don't need to search Sales myself (we only sell a handful of things) but I think other people would need it. In this age of too much information, the ability to search is key to everything. I even think you should have an advanced option of searching for text "anywhere".

Yes @ Dan. Agreed with the other user. HAve 4 MYOB clients who experience the same stresses. Need this extension of search. Cheers.
