Changes
Hi there. Yesterday i read the information about the changes to what Accounts and Chart of Accounts are going to be called. I am horrified by this. Accounts are Accounts.. NOT CATEGORY Chart of A...

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the recent updates in MYOB, where we've transitioned from "Accounts" and "Chart of Accounts" to "Category" and "Categories." I understand that this change might be a bit confusing for those accustomed to traditional accounting terminology. However, our aim was to simplify the language to make it more accessible and user-friendly for everyone. We truly appreciate your understanding and patience during this transition period.
In the meantime, feel free to reach out if you need further assistance.

Accounting and Accounting Terminology is based on Worlwide Accounting Standards in case you were unaware.
What you have done is to create an ambigious terminology for Worldwide users.
I might suggest if you do not want to lose many users that this decision is reversed.
I for one do not want to start calling Accounts 'Category'.
Good luck with this one
Hi Robyn111
I think the problem is MYOB is already losing a huge number of customers (due to horrendous support, poor software, fee increases, refusal to fix bugs etc etc) and they are brainstorming ways to reverse this trend. In my view the people at the top have lost the plot - some time ago.

HI Gavin
This is just an absolutely crazy thing to do.
We have been a long time MYOB user and are seriously looking at another application.
Goes against all of the Worldwide Accounting Termology. ABSOLUTE NUTS.
Yeah I gave up recommending myob to clients some time ago, and changes like this just reinforce that decision. Changing such a fundamental accounting terminology is plain arrogance. I'll stick around though to see what the new name for debits and credits will be.
