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 transactions - not worth the additional expense to use Account Right level of product - jobs would be ideal
"Essentials - ability to use Jobs"
After reading all the comments, basically i think we want Live accounts to be just like AccountRight, with the same functions and features
Job tracking would definitely be an improvement in Live Accounts.
It would be good if there was a feature to live accounts that would allow the user to make a daily or weekly job sheet that could be sent out with work crews.
Idealy this set up would work best with a quoting system that makes the job sheet and then generate an invoice once the job is completed but I do think that a feature to allow a user to do this type of thing would be highly benifical especially for service industry people using te system.
I recently started myob essentials and Im very happy with the program. HOWEVER.....
Please tell me why there is no option to restrict user access ??
Most small business need to be able to give access to staff to do basic things like ‘invoice’ only, and keep other Information private. This makes absolutely no sense. It would be a very simple system change and having read other comments has been a problem for years.
Please dont tell me the solution is to ugrade to a much more expensive myob program just for this one feature ? Hopefully I’ve got it all wrong but if not its a Deal breaker !
I know this has been asked for for a few years now. But is there any word on, or hope for, job numbers in LiveAccounts? Or is the push just towards AccountRight? For me they've been the missing feature since i began, but even then there was talk of adding them as a feature and plenty of requests.

Jobs entry similar to quotes entry with some additional addon fields would be a great addition.
also Label Printing e.g. Customer Shipping Labels, Item Labels etc. customizable would be a great addition.
any ideas on to what degree MYOB can be adapated for more sophisticated shipping labels, esp to large retails. ie. item codes and even bar codes? i am assuming its fairly basic at this stage, but i am new to MYOB too
Hello DGA
MYOB Essentials can't print shipping labels as such, but our AccountRight Range do allow you to customise shipping labels and packing slips. You can find out more about AccountRight here:
MYOB Small Business Accounting Products
I would strongly recommend that you download a free test-drive and see if the shipping labels meet your needs.

Totally with you on this one also, an extra searchable field in the invoices rather than just the invoice number is essential. In this field, I guess you can input address of propert or some other reference. I have same problem with many ships of one client.
It would be great if Essentials would cater for jobs or tracking per rental purposes to keep track of costs for each rental property. Thanks

Thank you for the post, comments and votes. The ability to track Jobs in Essentials appears to be a popular request. We request others to please continue voting and adding any relevant comments.
is there a way to have job card like function. in essentials
i.e
New jobs
Jobs in progress (Parts on order, waiting for other trades)
Jobs complete
Being a builder i think it would be really usefull to be able to alocate invoices to specific jobs as i usually have 2 or 3 jobs going at same time and keeping track of costing of each job is essential.
I was very surprised when i converted over to essentials that it didnt have this feature .
Hope it comes soon !!!
Thanks
