Hi,

 

Just wondering if there is a way to turn off the auto allocation in LiveAccounts as I find it is constantly matching wrong payments to the wrong customer or supplier invoice.  Twice I have thought that a bill had been paid as it was cleared out of the system only to receive an overdue notice from the supplier and when I go through and check it has in fact been auto reconciled by LiveAccounts with another incorrect payment

 

"LiveAccounts - Turn off Auto Allocation"

Current Status: Done
Last Changed: August 2015

Hi everyone, thank you for all your votes and feedback. Our developers have taken this aboard and I'm very pleased to annouse that this feature has now been implemented. 

 

You can now turn off bank feeds auto-allocation in the new banking system via Manage Allocation Rules, please check out the latest Essentials Blog for more information.

Hi there! 

 

We would love to be able to disable the automatic allocation. Money out is not so much an issue but money in is a nightmare! We are constantly having to unmatch/delete payments and re-allocate them. It would be much more time effective to simply allocate our payments recieved ourselves. We would love this to be changed ASAP.

The option of turning off the automatically allocated transactions by MYOB Essentials urgently needs to be addressed. These transactions all need to be double checked which is timely. I have often been chasing the wrong customer for overdue invoices as deposits have been automatically allocated to incorrect invoices. It's embarressing and very uprofessional. Seriously considering swaping to Xero as the reconciling process is much better. I would be very appreciative if this was addressed so I don't have to change software programs.

Thanks

I've just had debt collectors incorrectly chase up a customer for payment. The customer has indeed paid and the payment was allocated incorrectly to a different customer invoice.Myob...this makes us look very unprofessional. Please sort it out.

Yes please add this feature ASAP, I found this forum searching if there was a way to turn this off. Always allocating to wrong invoices - so annoying!
