Hi ozeami,
Thank you for your post, and my apologies for the delay in my response.
I understand your frustration regarding the ongoing issue with the wrong currency showing on backorders. I've checked this matter with the relevant team, and it appears that this issue has been recognized and is being actively discussed within our teams. However, I regret to inform you that, as of now, there is no definitive solution or update available and it is still under investigation by our developers.
I apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience as we work towards a resolution. Thank you for your understanding.
If there's anything else I can assist you with, please don't hesitate to reach out.
Cheers,
Princess
Hi Princess_R
I am sorry but this response is just not acceptable. This is not a new issue that was just reported yesterday. This has been going on for 4 years!! And for 4 years we have been receiving the same response!! I believe 4 years of "investigation" by your developers is sufficient amount of time to this problem! If the developers can't figure out what they broke in a system that was working perfectly fine before this version of the software then I believe its time you get new developers... we'd like this matter to be escelated to higher management for review and someone to contact me directly from your higher management team. We have been a user of MYOB for 20+ years and over the past 4 years since moving to the online system, we have lost a functionality that was always working perfectly in previous 16 years!! I don't understand how MYOB management team does not see this as a problem, one which has been ongoing for 4 years and known for 4+ years!!
Hi ozeami
Sadly this issue joins a long list of issues reported up to 11 years ago. Issues MYOB is unwilling to commit developer resources to fixing. Some are very minor but annoying bugs which would literally take a developer 5 mins to fix. So it is not an issue of 'ability' to fix, it is 'willingness' to fix - something MYOB management lacks.
This specific issue is caused by poor coding and occurs in some 10-12 locations - which a developer friend has located - took about 2 hours without the source code. With source code MYOB developers should be able to find and fix in minutes. Rather than format this backorder field as they do for the field above, the developers formatted the fields with a hardcoded $ sign.

Hi gavin12345
This issue is quite frustrating and makes us look like a micky-mouse company. The items are supposed to be backordered in the same currency as they are originally invoiced in but instead we get this non-sense of items being invoiced in say "USD" and the backorder value of the same item being shown in AUD and with 6 decimal figures I might add!!... This was done correctly in all previous versions of MYOB until we were forced to move to the online version some 4 years ago and it has been present since day 1.
I have no doubt that there is a very quick fix to this issue for the developers but rather than fix this issue, they continue ignoring it. We are close to lodging a complaint with fair trading on this matter because effectively every month we are "buying" a product/service" from MYOB and yet they have failed to correctly provide this service for over 4 years now....
MYOB seem to fail to see that by moving everyone to a subscription service they are effectively liable to provide a service on a monthly basis and part of that service includes fixing bugs/problems with the software in a timely manner. It is not acceptable to have a clear bug/problem which is very much client facing open for over 4 years!
