Convert Quote to Sales Order

Any news on this??? My staff are frustrated that they have to come into my office and use my desktop version to do this simple task that should be part of any accounting software!

You are exactly right. MYOB need people you know how a business office procedures are done. It is very poor of such a big company to not know what business need. Understanding of accounts and business and the practical side of how things work. It’s very unprofessional 

Hi Karma

no news after 8 months! It should be a very simple fix for MYOB.

Hi Amanda

any news from the product team?

Ok, I think I've found a temporary fix.

1. I've created an order for the customer, minimal detail, just listing quote number. 
2. When deposit was received in bank I've recorded it to income in advance - customer deposits (not the usual income account) using customer details and listing job # as quote number
3. I've then created an 'invoice' for the deposit amount and recorded it as a negative (creating a credit) and also used the income in advance account (this neg will balance that account)
4. When the order becomes an invoice I'll apply the credit to the invoice and should only show the total figure less credit applied..... fingers crossed it will all balance.

Phew! what a mine field! I hope this helps. Let me know if you see any issues with what I've figured out! I think I'll need our accountant to look at our first month to make sure I've not completely stuffed it up!

It's been 10 months - and still no fix!!!! C'mon MYOB - what are we paying for?

Totally agree. MYOB has never been so messed up without this fix. Buss Pro is suppose to be easier. Makes you think who is actually doing the program and if they have had any experience in a real business. 

Agree. This is just not acceptable in such a program.
