I have a suggestion regarding the pay run set up. It used to be that the total for each employee changed as we put the different amounts in, i.e. hourly rates, meal allowance, over time etc. Now the total doesn't change until we press 'next employee' which is ok - but inconvenient. It means we have to go back to each employee if we want to make any changes to their wage and we often do since we pay them commission. We liked it much better before when we could change the numbers and the total would change accordingly. It was much more cost and time efficient. Would you please pass this on, or let us know if there is a setting we can change ourselves. Thanks   "Pay run efficiency" ... View more

We used to be able to edit a cheque number of a reconciled cheque without the transaction returning to the rec. screen. Several transactions appeared in my Rec. Screen after I used a different cheque number to identify the month the rental cheque related to.   Will this be changed back to the previous situation in an update, or is it set up like this to prevent changes?   "Bank Rec wrong amount on cheque." ...

I'd like to see availabilty of a client's statements, for advisors, included in a future upgrade - e.g. a a copy of the electronic bank statement being stored alongside the client's file, or an option for a client to pre-approve their advisor to download statements, in their 'advisor authorisation' screen.

Will there be an automatic rounding feature in the future with liveaccounts invoicing. It would be handy if when you went to customer payment if you could check a box for cash and it would automatically round the amount. At the very least invoices need to be able to be amended without deleting payments and at times multiple down payments on the one invoice. ie - a customer has been invoiced $2,323.26 and pays the amount off over a month using a credit/debit card and then their last payment is cash you have to go back, unreconcile the previous payments, delete the payments, amend the invoice to include rounding ANDthen go back entering all the payments for the right dates, reconciling a vast number of eftpos transactions that had to be unreconciled to allow this particular customers payments to be unreconciled etc all over $0.01. Seems ridiculous!!!!!   "LiveAccounts Rounding" ... View more

Hello   It will be nice if we can put number in the line of the invoices, quotation or purchase order.   As for example, I'm selling 14 different items, I need to know that I'm selling 14 different items to that specific customers, samething when issuing a purchase order. - All this time it is hard, because there is no option to do so when making/ customising a form.. it is like I have to caunt the lines one by one..   "Line number on the invoice / quotation or purchase order"   ...

  I understand that MYOB now, like Quickbooks, allows users to have a Cash P&L or a Non-Cash P&L.   My suggestion is that it is essential that the P&L on the top right hand cprner notates the type of P&L ie Cash P&L or Non-Cash P&L   For tax purposes, depreciation is included whether cash or non-cash. The movement in Receivables is the difference between cash and non-cash.   Personally, I believe there should be no option to have a cash or non-cash P&L.     As a former banker, the most important Financial Statement is the Cash Flow Statement. I understand that in America the Cash Flow Statement is required for small business.     "P&L    to notate Cash or Non - Cash" ... View more

It would be good to be able to dissect bank transactions to multiple accounts manually (not using a rule) e.g. insurance where part of the amount is GST free and part includes GST but not a set amount that can be entered into an allocation rule   "Transaction Dissection" ... View more

Hi   I would like to be able to change the table inside the invoice template.  Our invoices are quite detailed and I would like to widen the "description' column.  I can move the columns while I am using the invoice but it reverts back to the standard width when I complete the invoice.     Can someone tell me if it can be done?   "Change invoice format" ...

Hi Team, The inclusion of Purchase orders into Invoices is fantastic. Is it possible to include in a sales report - Sales Transacton Report the Purchase Order number. Would be very handy as I send a number of invoices against a single Purchase Order number. Currently I print out each invoice and group together and then subtract the invoiced amount from the PO amount   Look forward to any feedback   Thanks   "Invoice against Purchase Orders" ...

I enter over 300 orders during the course of a month. Information is added to these orders daily. After each order is entered the main menu appears. I have to click on "Enter Sales" every time between orders, this is a complete waste of time, is taking twice as long to enter information. A blank order appeared automatically after each order entered on the old MYOB.   The same invoice number is being allocated to at least three different customers , and is causing confusion all round.   "Orders / Invoices" ...

1. This report should show the memo(s) that appear on the bank statement, as well as the account that the transaction has been allocated. How long do we need to wait for this feature???   2. Formatting could be improved so that not so many pages are required for printing. Appreats to have VERY large header and footer and plenty of space on the side margins as well.   Cheers David Grant   "GST Detail Report needs to be improved" ... View more

I manage my customer's licensing expiry and other parameters for my cloud software in my own admin web site. It would be great if I could import invoices from there into LiveAccounts to save me double entry. An API would be even better.   Cheers,   Michael   "Import invoices" ... View more

Hello,   would it be posible to change the description under the GST column in the Bank account screen to show wat the actual tax code is when it is not displaying the amount of GST such as NTR for "Not Reportable" rather than the currently misleading "GST Free"?   "Bank account display re GST" ...

I have submitted this one before - at present we can email payslips which works really well.  With end of year PAYG Summaries it is difficult to email as I need to prepare an email for each one I send manually, which can be 50+.  I could see that it could be possible to send straight from MYOB.    It is legal to send this way, as per ATO website, and a lot of young people change physical addresses but not their email addresses - and it is there straight away.  Will save lots of time and money (no stamps etc) at EOFY.   Thanks, Cheryl   "Email PAYG Summaries at year end" ...

Hi Team   When going in and out of Reports to make changes in other parts of the program, I would find it really useful if Live Accounts would remember my last used date range.
