Banking: Change the Automatic Cheque Numbering

[JPH]

Remove the automatic cheque numbers for every transaction in spend money and payroll.  Most clients use internet banking & EFT these days, so cheques shouldn't be the default option.  If you write a cheque you should manually enter the cheque number in MYOB.

Bank rules - Spend Money and Bill

To be able to set a cheque number for transactions when creating a bank rule.

Each bank rule can have a cheque number ie dd, visa, amex, eft

The default seems to be EFT in the Cheque No. field.

Hi @Rebecca12345  & @HDBKS

Thank you both for your feedback and further ideas in regards to this particular idea. I have shared your thoughts with the team.

MYOB will only have another 5 years to consider this as the proposed world-wide date for aboloshing all cheques is arond 2020 or 2021. I have used about 15 cheques in thelast 9 years of business.

MYOB will have no choice but to get rid of Chq numbers soon. I cannot believe MYOB are so far behind the times. Certainly looking for another product that keeps up with the times.

Dear MYOB,

Please introduce this feature in the next upgrade.  Like the others I have been suffering with this for so long for something that should be an easy fix.

I don't see why this is so hard.  The unreasonable person might guess that MYOB is waiting for cheques to be phased out by the banks before it makes a change.

Regards

HelloTim & Ian,

Why not just ignore the fact that it says 'Cheque No' and assume that it says 'Reference No'.

then let it auto increment unless it is a real cheque and then enter with the prefix 'CH' and the cheque number.

see my eatlier post back a page or so.

Cheers

David

Hi there, just wondering if there's going to be a change to the "Cheque No." title in the Send Payment area? Would be better if it was possible to intstead have this modified to "EFT No." instead.

Over 3 years since the original post and still no advance on this issue, is there any further updates on changing the auto#  ?

In order to enhance our Auditing trails it would be benificial if we could reset the number sequencing at the beginning of each year for receipting / tranfers / general ledger, just as you can with Sale and Purchase.

A Conversation yesterday and  today on the chat line has discovered that at present this can't be done.

Would the development team please consider this request for the next update. This is in line with all the other numbering issues discussed with Cheque numbers etc.

Thank you 

Dianne
