Hi MYOB Developers,   Where can I see the Active Work Station or those people who are logged on to MYOB in Accountright 2019.   It used to be under File/Active Work Station, in AccountRight V19,  it's gone in AccountRight 2019.   It's very important, please put it back.   THANKS. ... View more

TO MYOB: PLEAS E provide an alternative to SMS for receiving the authentication code for super payments. In case you're not aware, a large portion of rural Australia is NOT covered by mobile, hence SMS is useless. So this means every quarter we have to call MYOB and wait for two hours to get an operator - today it was 102 minutes. Not every small business has someone sitting by the phone for business hours. And in a Live Chat converstaion with MYOB, the MYOB agent Ness even had the hide to suggest: " Mobile coverage is more widespread than that of the internet that's why MYOB has decided to select SMS." I believe this is factually incorrect - certainly geographically. It is time for MYOB to talk to customers to in fact determine whether this unilateral approach is appropriate, and whether in fact an alternative should be available - an email is just as secure, as the code is useless unless the MYOB account has been logged in to, which requires, guess what - an email address. Another alternative is a message via Messenger, which works off the internet.  ... View more

Hi guys, 3 decades of computer & device use has basically trained humans to look in the bottom right corner of a window for action buttons (eg 'submit', 'cancel', etc). So could you please add a 'Bank File' button to the lower right corner of the Prepare Electronic Payments window? At present, this window only has a 'Close' button. When I'm working hard'n'fast in MYOB, it's too easy for me to think this is a more useful button (ie one that will do the next logical step, which is to create the Bank File). And the window closes. And I start again. And wish that all app developers could have degrees in either anthropology or psychology. Love your work, Kirk   "Humanising the Prepare Electronic Payments window" ... View more

We need to be able to delete remittance advices that aren't sent out, whether to be printed or emailed.  I have a list that goes back to 2015, and have been told there is no way I can delete them.  When I do send one out occasionally, I have to sift through the list, and resort and make sure I have the right one - which is time consuming.  Really annoying that this cannot be done.  'To Be Printed' can be sent as a batch to .pdf and then deleted, which is a little fiddly but worked,  but the email ones are there for ever.    Already printed or sent is not an option either.   I noted it may be possible to your own email address 'offline' and then delete but this is not suitable, and a little risky.  PLEASE PLEASE can we do something, in another 2 years we'll have HUNDREDS sitting in the list, a simple 'delete' would suffice.   "Remittance advice" ...

I have had a suggestion from a client about when you enter either a suburb field, or a postcode field that the opposing field comes up with automatic suggestions as to pre-fill.   For example: If I were to enter a suburb field as Adelaide, that MYOB suggests that the postcode for that suburb is 5000 and the state is South Australia   Would shorten data entry time when creating new card files.   "Prefill Postcodes/Suburbs" ...

Hi Guys,   We have a situation where a client needs to email a sales invoice to multiple customer contacts as well as cc it to various internal stakeholders.   The only way you can do this at the moment is by either manually adding all emails to the email field in the contact card (fine for customer email addresses, not for the internal stakeholder ones), or manually checking and changing each email as it goes out to have the right people on it (not effective you have large numbers of customers).   Ideal solution would be adjust 'Email' in the Contact card to be 'Primary email' and have a new field called 'CC Email' which then flows through to the email screens.   Now that 2016.1 has its own email engine, this should be relatively easy to accomplish.   Cheers, Liam ...

Hi All   I would like to see the possibility of an Accounting Date being introduced which was used to determine the period in which a Supplier invoice was posted instead of the invoice date itself.   Currently if a Supplier invoice misses our EOM close, we process it in the following month and re-date the invoice to the 1st of the that month.  I would rather the invoice retained it's correct date, however could be processed with an Accounting Date of the next month.   if there is another way around this please let me know.  Presumably this might already be a feature in a higher-level MYOB edition (eg Exo)?   Cheers!     ...

When using the Spend Money function within bank feeds, I suggest the following specifically relating to the 'Cheque No' field:   1. As an option be able to change to 'Reference No'  2. Have this Reference number automatically update as it does when using the Spend Money function within Bank register.    Payments from the acount will then have a sequential reference number so the related invoice can be scanned and saved with the Reference number from MYOB. ...

Hello Please please please increase the character limit in the tax invoice description to at least 500, or no limit at all.  I have seen a number of requests on the forum for this over the years and am not sure why it has not been changed. Many of our job descriptions or quote descriptions go over the word limit and I have to break up a paragraph somehow mid-way through, which does not look very professional. We do not have a $ amount for each line entered, we enter a number of aspects of a job in one line, which all total one amount, and this frequently exhasuts the word limit. I know I can add a blank line underneath with a $0 figure, but the limit frequently runs out mid-way through a sentence and it is very frustrating having to cut the half of the sentence that I got mid-way through, insert a blank line and paste the sentence in there and then keep going until the limit runs out again - it seems so pointless.  Thank you Ruth   "Description character limit" ...

In Account Right 2019 when you run a payroll and print payslips you cannot print them all to a single pdf file, they send them individually which is time consuming and cumbersome especially if you have 20+ staff. Other way is to print all the payslips and then scan and save to a pdf file to send to your clients. Again a waste of time and paper. In previous versions of Account right it worked so well, why change something that was a great feature. MYOB please bring back this option of printing all payslips to a single pdf file. ... View more
