Receive Payments: Automatically add hyphen into Bank and Branch (NZ)

[TMEddy]

Has anyone else noticed that when you enter bank account details in cards the format is different between the different cards?  MYOB require different methods of entering bank account numbers in different places.  This is very frustrating because you know you will use the wrong method in one of them and be told that you are wrong.  

i.e. in Customer Cards, payment method, cheques, you enter the bank and branch first and you must remember to put the hyphen between bank and branch numbers.  Then you enter the account number also remembering to put in the hyphen before the suffix.  

However, in Supplier Cards, payment method, you enter the whole bank account and it automatically puts the hyphens in for you.  Why can't the customer cards do this?

"Data entry of bank account numbers needs to be standardised and automated"

Also, when you receive in payments for credit cards, there is a tick box to update the customer card with the details.  However, it does not have it for any other payment, that has a lot more details to enter (like cheques).  So you have to go into the card separately and enter it all in there again.  

Why? ... Why MYOB?  Just Why oh Why??

It's madness and very frustrating if you spend all day doing these things.
