Several of our clients have multiple rental properties and we need to dissect the various properties. Essentials would be an ideal tool for this, but we don't seem to be able to segregate transactio...
Hi I am currently using MYOB essentials and wanted to know if anyone knows of a good “Add On” that allows you to track individual job costings. Where I can basically allocate expenses and incomes to different jobs to see how much profit/loss you have made for each.
I have also been told that MYOB essentials have been working on this function. Any idea if or when this may be available?

I am also waiting on an answer to this very question. The problem with add-on apps is the fact that they offer more than just ie. job costing. So you basically purchasing things you don’t need at an unnecessary cost when all you really want is job costing not the whole invoicing system which works perfectly fine in MYOB Essentials. Either way, job costing exist in account right so it really shouldn’t be rocket science to add this function to Essentials as the hard work has already been done by the developers. Job costing is a necessary function and should have been part of the Essentials launch. Little disappointing 😡
Unless this is available, Essentials is useless to me. What is the problem? It's been in the offline versions forever! How hard can it be? Please prioritisie this!
I have also been a long time user of Account Right and agree that having Job accounting is essential in Essentials.
I am the treasurer of a not-for-profit member based tourism organisation and for 7 years ran the accounts from spreadsheets, including job, or project, accounting. I moved to Essentials 18 months ago and have been grappeling with trying to account for the various separate projects that we undertake. Doing this by adding accounts to the GL is messy and complicates matters no end.
Essentials is otherwise fine for us, we have only 1 employee, and we don't need do any inventory accounting. But it is this lack of Job Accounting that is starting to make me look elsewhere.
There must be many small businesses, tradies and the like, that need to keep tabs on income and costs for each of the jobs they do.
Job accounting should be part of any small business accounting software.
It is in Account Right, it can't be hard to put it into Essentials.
Gavin JK Let me know if you receive any positive feedback on this subject regarding an "add-on". There appears to be very little feedback on this topic. The fact that it is taking MYOB this long to add job codes which has led to customers moving away from MYOB Essentials is a nightmare.
They are not giving much away as to when they intend adding job codes to Essentials. It was just stupid not to do so when writing the program. I was told to move to AccountRight. They need to make this clear that there are NO job codes when flogging this package. Having to purchase an add on is ridiculous and costly as u buy an invoicing package as a whole that also does job costing whereas all you really want is the job costing. We are moving to Zerox
