We are a builder who have a lot of various subcontractors. Most are registered for GST, but there are several who are not. As MYOB doesnt currently pick up the Supplier Card tax code, we have to just...
Hi David,
I was rather surprised to read your post as the whole point of the tick box called “Use Supplier Tax Code” is supposed to do just that. This is yet another feature that MYOB have only half implemented.
Why put the option in the software called “Use Supplier Tax Code” and then only have the feature work some times?
The reason I use an accounting package is to streamline my work flow and therefore reduce the incidence of human errors that are more likely to occur with manual processes when a person has to remember supplier A is GST registered and Supplier B is not.
Another big hole in AccountRight Basic is that you cannot even enter the ABN on a supplier’s card and therefore you do not have the auto ABN validation option.
I know that Basic does not have the Purchases module, but a business is still required by law to confirm the GST status of each payment to each supplier and it is recommended that you record this to save looking it up each time.
This is just another feature that is a “work in progress” as quoted to me by any number of the staff at MYOB. They don’t seem to be able to complete any new feature to the point that it actually improves your work flow.
