Spend money: Attach documents

Hi MYOB Team,

 

I was delighted about the announcment of the new In Tray feature offered by Essentials - an extremely sensible and practical solution to storing invoices against a transaction.

 

However, I was disappointed when I learned that you can only do this for "Bills". I think many people would be pleased if this functionality could be expanded to include all transaction types.

 

For example, if I go to the petrol station and pay for petrol, I still receive a tax invoice. I would like to be able to scan this and upload it to In Tray and then link it to a "Spend Money" transaction.

 

I hope you will be able to accomodate this request, otherwise people will not be readily able to move away from a paper based record keeping system.

 

Kind regards,

 

Jai

Thank you very much for your vote and suggestion @DustyRd, I have shared your feedback with the relevant team.

 

In Tray is one of our young products, our developers do intend to improve it with more functions in the future, such as for Sales, recipes, Spend Money and Receive Money transactions. I would encourage any interested users to continue casting your votes, and leave comments if required.

Please please please implement this!

 

The ironic part is that I feel scanning and uploading credit card receipts for petrol, postage, tearoom supplies, etc is actually of more benefit because the thermal receipts fade so much over time!

 

If this feature was implemented, it would allow my business to go fully online - how wonderful!

Hello @busychemist

 

Thank you for your feedback in regards to the in- tray feature. Yes the thermal receipts do fade a lot over time and I can see how this will benefit a lot of our clients like your selves. I encourage everyone that would like to see this implemented to vote and leave relevant comments on the thread.

 

Regards,

 

Kat

Would absolutely support the extension of the In tray feature. It would be a great help to be able to attached documents that could then be viewed by auditors, others etc.

Hi @Maree_C

 

Thank you for your feedback in regards to this idea.

Currently the idea has been marked as under consideration. At this stage we are still investigating adding that feature into the program. We don't have a time frame for when that will be marked as in development/implemented. However in saying that we are still encouraging other users that would like to see this idea included in future releases to vote and comment if required for this idea.

This would be a great addition to the functionality of MYOB, and a real selling point for me, I currently struggle to scan all business receipts and create logical and easy to reference tax records. If I could take an image with my phone and upload to 'In Tray' via the app, for all spending transactions this would be a real time saver.

would like to add a couple of receipts to the one bill, eg where doing a reimbursement of multiple items.
