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

I would like to have the function on my myob LiveAccounts to enable me to create a Remittance Advice to send to my suppliers to advise of a payment made. Currently when I print an expense (that has already been entered with a payment) to a supplier it produces a 'Purchase Order' document showing the expense, and the payment made. However it would be more suitable for the document to be a 'Remittance Advice' and also have details on the document showing the bank information of the supplier in which the payment has been made to.

I was wandering if there is anyway you could create a payment received receipt with MYOB live? I can create an invoice but it doesn't say Amount Paid when printed.

There is no option to export data which is a disaster for my business as I need users details etc for other purposes. When will the simple ability to export and control MY data be avbailable?

Can you generate a General Ledger Summary Report that has an opening balance, a closing balance and net activity (movement column) for Accountants?

Hi Feedback from our clients tells us that many clients would like a simple budgeting feature. One suggestion was to enter in either a monthly, quarterly or yearly budgeted figure for each account and then a report to print at intervals to see how the actual expenses are comparing.

When I demonstrated LiveAccounts early on to an accounting firm I get referrals from the initital response was "What about User Accounts and restricted access"? Any plans on this front?

MrMoss

Is there any plan to bring multi-currency to the new Essentials range? The direct competitors both have options for this whereas MYOB only has it on AccountRight Premier as far as I can tell. Thanks

Hi It would be great if the Purchase order number could be displayed in one of the columns when looking at the list of invoices (whether paid, overdue or current) - perhaps between the invoice number and customer name. This would save a lot of time searching to see if an invoice has been created against a particular invoice (rather than opening up each individual invoice) Thanks Bec

Hi MYOB Community, Is there any chance that MYOB Essentials can be improved so that users can create a recipient created tax invoicie. Thanking you in advance

Having either (or both) offline and backup functionality added to LiveAccounts would be great points of difference for a web-browser based accounting package. MYOB prides itself with the AccountRight Live software being the only cloud accounting package which can be used offline should the MYOB server go down or the internet connection lost. This needs to be applied to LiveAccounts. A lot of people won't use online only software because The LiveAccounts servers have gone down on multiple occasions stopping us from accessing our financial data and we have no idea how long the outage lasts until the solution/(s) have been found. If a offline or backup functionality was added to LiveAccounts then we'd still be able to access our accounts when we need to. Being locked out of your accounting file for hours is not acceptable.

Would be great if MYOB can make a Windows phone 8.1 app...or even better a Widnows 10 app (since it will be universal across all W10 devices). Joe

Please develop an export/import facility between LiveAccounts and AccountRight Live. It shouldn't be that hard.

It would be great if we could upload a PDF copy of our Terms & Conditions which we could choose to send with our emailed quotes / Invoices or print at the same time when on the road, I currently have the terms and conditions printed on the back of the quote in my book but i am emailing more quotes these days.

I think having an area for doing Quotes would be great. Will this be something you will look into

Hi, I'd love to see a webpage which outlines all known issues / problems with LiveAccounts where we can refer to when we have an issue to see if MYOB is already aware of it and are working on it or whether its a new problem. On two occasions I've found a problem which has affected every single LiveAccounts subscriber yet we were never told of these issues. The only way we found them was by stumbling over them and then needing to contact support. The first issue was the Cash Profit & Loss Statement not including the General Journal entries (now fixed). The second issue I'm currently experiencing now is the Dashboard saying the business profile isn't complete even though it is. I've been told that this should be fixed in the next update on Thursday. The ATO have this on their website (System Issues) and is accessable from their home page so when we experience a problem this is where we go first. This frees up the MYOB technician's time to attend to people who have one off problems / questions. Business owners & MYOB Certified Consultants will also be able to save hours of their time by getting an instant answer instead of waiting for a MYOB technician over the phone or online. This page will also support MYOB Certified Consultants as we'll be able to attend to more client's requests.

Hi Can someone please do a software update to display the GST payable or the gst refund due on the dashboard on MYOB Essentials NZ software, the same as the PAYE and KIWISAVER due is displayed on the dashboard? Apparently It appears it is available on the ausy software but not NZ? It would then give a business a complete picture of their financial status at that particular point in time.......Very helpfull info, would be a great help to manage cashflow. Cheers Eldon

Hi, Can we please have a report to export into excel that includes all the Supplier details rather than just Name, Type Phone and Email. Need to be able to export the data to excel to use in the ABN Lookup excel spreadsheet to do annual/regular checks on supplier existing or missing ABN's, current or cancelled status and to check the GST registration status. Your consideration is greatly appreciated. Thank you Liza

Hi I have been trying to explain how Live Accounts works for a prospective new client , but because there is no sample company file that I can access it is a bit hard without something to show them. Would it be possible to create a Training / play Live Accounts file similar to Clearwater that only the Live Accounts Advisors can access. It would be an invaluable tool to promote Live Accounts and to help train new clients in how to use Live Accounts. I do not mean a separate file for each Advisor I mean one file for all Advisors to use. Graeme "Training / play Live Accounts file similar to Clearwater"
