I am in the construction indusrty.
An example of what I would like as an advancement in Accounts Right.
I raise a purchase order for $80.000.00 for an electricial company for a house build fit out. This job will be done over a period of months.
I would like to link each and every invoice that relates to the purchase order however the purchase order initial amount stays at $80,000.00 whilst the the balance will reduce by each total amount of the linked invoice.
In doing this I would like to enter the invoice link it to the order in one process not enterig the information twice in different screens.
Any one else out there this would benefit?
I feel this would be a great benefit to keepign track of all orders and linked invoices.
So we create one Order and then at time of processing the invoice/Bill you would link the bill to the order and this would automatically come off the oustanding balance of the order, (whilst keeping the orginal amount of the order visiable and the remanding balance reduces by the Bill amount)

We have many supplier who we operate 30 day accounts with, but occasionally offer different terms for a particular purchase. I realise you can change the terms when entering a purchase invoice, but we sometimes get an amount to be divided by 3 or 4 months of payments. To get around this I run a spreadsheet in Excel when reconciling to statements, as a payable report doesn't satisfy this. I haven't yet found a way around it using MYOB. Could this be incorporated in future updates? I am sure I am not the only one with this issue.

Hi Jill - I find this concept interesting ... are you thinking about a 90 or 120 day term to be added? The only way I have found a satisfactory way of doing this is to create 3 or 4 invoices on the monthly basis. You can pre-date your invoices so you can enter them all in advance - I create the first invoice with all the details about the total cost of the sale, etc, create this as a template (use recurring) and then enter the next batch of invoices for the appropriate dates, rather than have one invoice which continually shows as being "overdue".

Our business too needs the ability to split payments for sales and purchases. In our case we buy/sell wine grapes and payment terms are 1/3 instalments with payments due May, July, September. It would be great if we could modify payment terms on invoices to reflect this structure as it is not feasible for us to issue 3 seperate invoices for each payment.
