When entering general journals we are unable to tab through when entering data. 

 

Using Google Chrome on Mac book air (brand new Oct 2014 with latest software).

 

Also it would be nice if we could copy journals...same idea as copy invoices.

 

Thanks,

Omni Payroll Team.  

 

"Tab Through General Journal & Copy Journals"

Current Status: Done
Last Changed: June 2022

Hi Everyone


Within the Create general journal window in the newer MYOB Essentials platform, users can now tab into fields and navigate using the Tab key.

Hi guys, two things. 1. give us the ability to copy journals, we shouldn't have to beg for functionality, QBO does it so get a move on please. 2. when uploading bank statements, make it so we can upload CSV files please. No one uses QIF these days.

Thanks in advance for your help

can you PLEASE enable tabbing between screens on GJ entry and spend and receive money.  It is available in your other programs that I've used incl accountright, accounting plus (all versions in the last 10 yrs) as well as in competitor products like quickbooks and quicken.

 

I also seem to have to click on each field multiple times in order to be able to enter data.

Hi Guys,

 

This is a small fix but a MAJOR pain when reconciling and bookkeeping. The inability to tab in Receive Money or Journal Entries (but no issue in Spend Money) is very slow and frustrating have to click into each field meaning data entry is extended. Please fix this asap

Is anyone aware of any progress on this?  I'm going nuts not being able to tab in this and other screens.

I am a new use to MYOB Essentials and can't believe this hasn't been added in yet.  It makes entering so slow.

Also cannot use tab between the feild when recording a receive money very frustrating.  And often the gl code selected doesn't stay put and have to select it again Smiley Sad

It is my considered opinion that whoever coded the screen for the general journal page has never actually watched a professional do data entry.

To have to mouse from field to field is both ludicrious and time-consuming.

I'd also like to see the ability to use the account NUMBER rather than only it's title added as well.

Oh, and a more sensible predictive function on account names as well.  If I try to enter, say, "legal fees" I get as far as "L-E" and the first suggestion is "SALES"?  Really?

But seeing how the initial request has been "under consideration" since 2014, I'm not going to hold my breath.
