Setup: Ability to use Jobs

1. We need to be able to have a job amount to apply for HOW.

2. Being able to see profit and loss for individual jobs and income only for insurance purposes for particular jobs.

3. I think jobs is a universally understood name.

4. Building

Hi Suja,

In answer to your questions:

I'm a clinical psychologist and I take contracts,referrals to perform services by a set number of appointments or a set amount of money. I would love to set up a job for each contract then track each session and/or each invoice charged to the organisation. I need the option to track things like: organisation name, address, phone number; case manager name,  phone number and email; client/employee name, address, email, phone number; case number; injury date; referrers name, provider number, address, phone number and email. 

Has there been any further developments in adding Jobs to Essentials?

I just moved from PC to Mac and therefore had no choice than to migrate to Essentials from AccountRight. There's so much I'm missing from AR including Jobs. I'm going to have to pay for an add-on because it's so important for running a Construction business.

Isn't there supposed to be a new version of Essentials which will take over current Essentials and AR?

I'm not loving Essentials at all, it has doubled my workload overnight.

The ability to create jobs inMYOB essentials appears to have been discussed since 2017 with no progress. WTF?? I upgraded recently from anold version of AccountRight. Im inclined to go back to that one or find a different vendor that is a bit more reactive to the needs of clients. Come on MYOB - lift your game.

This feature is now available in New Essentials - should it be marked as complete?

In response to Suja Pillai,

1. Managing in budgets, services and expenses of multiple contract cases

2. Tracking services and expenses to their associated contract

3. I prefer the term "Project" or "Contract", but "Jobs" is fine

4. Psychological services: clinical, forensic and organisational 

The feature would need to let us customise fields. For example, I would need to create fields for "Case Manager", "Case Number", "Date of Injury", for one type of job and "Plan Number", "Plan Date" and "Funded Amount" for another type of job. It would be most useful to let us set up a template for each type of job that we deal with. For example, a template for a clinical contract would be created to have different fields than a forensic template. Let us break a template with custom fields and let us name and save it.

We run a number of different events and the jobs reporting would be beneficial when accessing the profitability

how about updateing your website and stop misleading customers your website says

Your FAY says the following

Can I track projects and bill my customers by time?

Job tracking is available on all our Essentials software plans. 

Yes no one seams to be able to do this

• Track jobs: link income and expenses to a job or location

The above is taken from the MYOB Essentials Accounting advertisment. Turns out this is not correct.

As a contractor it is a must to assign purchases to a particular job.

I changed from accountright to essentials for the payrole functionality. Knowing this now I may have to change again.

Totally agree with you
