HI,
Can I suggest that the date input methodology is made consistent across the application?
When inputting a date in a Form (Invoice or Purchase Order) the date is input using n tab n ta...
I have queried why, in AccountRight, the date entry in reports (which requires the complete date to be entered) is different to every other window (which only require the day or month). The reason is apparently reports can have variety of calendar periods, normally both current and historic periods. I don't agree with this logic as most reports where this would be applicable also have the financial year as an option. I suggest it would be of more benefit to the user if the date entry was consistent.
Using the Dates in the current version of MYOB 2016.2 is frustrating!! There are different entry methods depending on the screens or fields being used. In some cases can enter the dates directly using keystrokes, in most others have to use the drop down box or enter using arrow keys to navigate between dd/mm/yy. These differences have led to incorrect date entries in my client’s files.
Would like to see all the date entry fields in the AR system fixed so that keystroke dates can be used again eg 12/6/16 – this is the traditional method that was always available in MYOB up until recently and is the quickest and most reliable way to enter the dates. The new methods introduced in the current AR products are not an improvement and reiterating inconsistent between various entry screens.
