 I would be very happy  if there was a way where Bills could be turned into Invoices as this would save a lot of time and data entry!  I am sure everyone using Myob would welcome this type of short cut.

Hi All

 

We currently purchase items from one company and sell this exact purchase to another customer. The purchases are item purchases and can have over 200 items on it (the items go into inventory). Currently we then have to re key all the items into a sales invoice, very time consuming. I want to be able to poulate a sales invoice with all the items already enterred on a purchase, saving us hours in keying. Anyone out there know how to do this. Cant believe this is not possible now so please make it happen ASAP.

 

Thanks

Bevan

Hi Banz,

 

While MYOB cannot do this at this time, there are many third-party developers that could automate this process for you.

 

This is exactly the type of problem we specialise in.

 

Feel free to contact me if you want to discuss this further.

Would it help to create the sales order first then once that is written up, select Create PO, to create a purchase order?

I agree with this.

 

Often there is more than 1 bill that you will need to invoice for, you should be able to create an invoice based on all lines from bills a job number has been allocated to.  Including time billing to that job.

 

This way, all the details you entered on the bill are already there, much less time wasting!

In the future would it be possible to make and invoice directly from a purchase order as we can from invoice to purchase order.  This would save a lot of time double entering data.

Hi WendyMC

 

Just a thought, how about memorising the Purchase Order?

Thank you for your feedback Wendy, how exactly would you like this to work? As the current system will only bring this up if a Purchase Order is required for the sale to be created?

This option is already avaliable in Accountedge...update 2011..........

Create an invoice from a purchase

If you regularly incur expenses on behalf of your customers, kill two birds with one stone by recording a purchase for the original cost of the expense, and then automatically creating an invoice to bill your customer’s retainer account.

Hi There

 

Is it possible to have a button in the Purchase window to create it into a sale? 

 

I am aware of the process;

1.doing a order for a customer then,

2. creating a purchase order from that customer order

 

just would be more conveniant to convert the purchase straight over.

 

Thanks

Amanda
