Tracking time & travel costs by Job
Hi all, Does anyone know how I could set up something like a billable hours cost and travel costs per job in MYOB? We don't actually charge clients by the hour or for travel (those costs are built into our pricing), but I need to start tracking the cost of those items on a per-job basis. That way, when I run a Job Profit & Loss report, I can see the true cost of the job & not just the componentry costs, but also the other direct costs that go into it. Currently, wages, vehicle, and mileage costs are all coded as overheads, as that is the simplest approach for GST and end of year financial reporting. Would this be best handled via a journal entry against each job, or is there a better way to capture these costs in MYOB? Thanks in advance!37Views0likes2CommentsRe: Allow Job P&L Reports Across Financial Years
On another side issue to job profit and loss reporting- does anyone know how I could go about adding something along the lines of a billable hours cost and travel costs? We don’t actually charge out by the hour or charge travel costs to the client, as that is built into the pricing, but I need to start tracking the cost of that somehow, in a per job basis.28Views0likes0CommentsRe: Allow Job P&L Reports Across Financial Years
Thanks Trevor. I’ll look into the online browser reporting. I don’t ever use it, because it seems only to work well for quoting and invoicing. Not the in between stage where most of my jobs sit, while we make the job after a deposit it paid.31Views0likes0CommentsRe: Allow Job P&L Reports Across Financial Years
Hi Matthew, Thanks for your reply. I am not really following though. I already use Inventory stock. Client jobs consist of Inventory items and non -inventory special order items. We use Item codes for all our stock and special order items. Just not all of them have the box Inventoried ticked. If start inventory-ing absolutely everything it will get very complicated very quickly. AnySpecial Order items could be in the tens of thousands - hence why we don't inventory them. Surely this should be a very simple fix in MYOB coding somewhere! Obviously I am not the only one here given the votes.80Views0likes1CommentRe: MYOB AccountRight Command Centre Changes
Totally agree with the sentiment here. The new update is awful. Far too distracting. Good design has plenty of 'white' space. This has virtually NO white space. I do not need or in fact want some of my staff to be able to access these financial reports. Is MYOB even looking at the Ideas Centre? Was this even something people voted for. It appears that they've 'fixed'something that wasn't even broken. Resources should have been spent on things users have been asking for years. Like a Refresh button in Prepare Bank Deposits!45Views3likes0CommentsAllow Job P&L Reports Across Financial Years
I regularly work on jobs that span two financial years, and every February–April I run into the same issue: I can't get an accurate Job Profit & Loss report. For example, a client might pay a deposit in February, then I purchase components over the next few months, and finally issue the sales invoice in April—after the new financial year begins. Because of this, the income and expenses fall into different financial years, making the Job P&L report incomplete and misleading. The current workaround—exporting reports from each financial year into Excel—is time-consuming, clunky, and frustrating. The data is already in MYOB, so surely there's a better solution. Please consider enabling Job P&L reports to pull data across multiple financial years. This would save time and reduce errors for so many businesses like mine. Thanks in advance—this would make a huge difference!280Views12likes14CommentsRe: Do you now need a cellphone to run MYOB account right with 2FA
Using a phone isn't ideal at all. I don't see how SMS is any more secure than an email. Someone could steal your phone, and a notification pops up on your screen with a code. Accessing email on a PC requires firstly to be able to login to the PC and then a further log in to emails. Having requirements for staff to use their own personal phone for such things is not fair to them. We'd have to compensate staff or buy a shop phone just to get into MYOB. Yet another cost to small business. After 18 years of using MYOB this might be deal breaker for us.59Views0likes1CommentRe: Do you now need a cellphone to run MYOB account right with 2FA
Hi Mike, thanks for your reply. We are NOT going to set up an individual login for every individual. all 4 of them work on average once a month or less. And as mentioned one of them doesn't even use a cellphone. Yes I have a 2FA set up. But currently I only have to use this when logging in online. I have never used it when logging in on our PC programme. What are our options? Can't we get a 2FA via an email? that is what we currently do on the 30 day cycle. I am not wanting to be called every single day someone needs a 2FA.98Views1like5CommentsDo you now need a cellphone to run MYOB account right with 2FA
I've just received an email, telling me we need to set up 2FA by 30 September. In order to get 2FA you need to either use an app or get an SMS. We have Account Right set up on a shared computer at work. Its all one login for 3 soon to be 4 people as its used as a POS. One of my employees does not use a cellphone. and 2 others are not very computer literate. So how are they going to be able to log in without using 2FA?152Views0likes7Comments
