Re: Default date is 2018
Hi nuggetsnoodles ,Jill10 , I would suggest clearing the cache for your browser. Cache's store old data, and occasionally need clearing out. See How to clear cache in Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari, and Edge | Digital Trends for procedures. Then restart the browser and log in again. Post the result here.13Views0likes6CommentsRe: How to record multiple supplier payment
Hi seagoat , have a look at the To-do list for Payables; you can select multiple bills for multiple suppliers there, and when you click Process, multiple Pay Bills transactions will be generated, one per supplier. Before you go there, you may need to change the default bank account for paying suppliers* to the electronic clearing account, so that you can process a bank file. (*Set-up, Linked accounts, supplier accounts)13Views0likes2CommentsRe: USING OFFLINE MYOB
Hi Joanne76 , that definitely will cause problems, do not try it. Assuming that you have a live cloud file, then probably your users have taken a backup and have opened those files locally. However, each backup is a complete file, therefore if any of them is updated locally, then restored online, it becomes the current (live) file. If another file is restored, it overwrites the current live file. And if the live online file had been changed prior to the restore, those changes would be lost. MYOB did provide 'checkout' and 'sync' options in earlier versions of AccountRight, but they have been discontinued.8Views0likes0CommentsRe: Pricing
Hi PF_1 , apologies for not jumping in here, this week has been very busy for me so far. I will make a brief comment. MYOBs pricing options do not cater for your particular business rules, as you have found. Changing the customer's card file for large orders is the most efficient process, but as you say, you must remember to change it back. You have 4 choices: Apply the rules manually Find an add-on program which has better pricing options, eg Web Ninja (one of many B2B e-commerce programs). See Apps Search | MYOB Apps. Find a different core program Change your pricing rules.Re: Supplier Inv No. displayed in a General Ledger Report
Hi Doreen_P , thanks for mentioning our program, it's much appreciated. MYOB's small business programs come with a reasonable range of reports, with some customisation added over the years. However these reports have limitations, and there has never been a fully customisable report writer marketed by MYOB, except for a brief period in Australia. Instead, MYOB has put a lot of effort into making the data accessible, first via the ODBC driver, and now with the API. KobusDit takes a fair mix of technical skills to create custom reports, and the range of addon report programs offers very good value. In our case the investment is only a few hundred dollars a year, plus fees for creating the more complex reports.11Views1like0CommentsRe: Methods to record import costs (incl. GST) on overseas purchases
Hi frenchery , a disclaimer first, I am based in NZ, which affects my interpretation of tax practices. And most of the accounts lists that I see in MYOB files do not have opening/closing stock accounts in the P&L, as all inventory costs are added to asset accounts initially and transferred to cost of sales accounts when sales take place. And I'm going to ignore foreign currencies for the moment. I always recommend that import costs (aka landed costs) are included as part of the inventory cost of the items being imported, so that your inventory value reflects the cost of bringing it to its current state. I don't include customs GST in these costs as it is recoverable. However, my approach is slightly different to the article you quoted. My clients will usually prepare a manual landed cost calculation which takes the supplier costs, and allocates all the import costs (except customs GST) across the shipment on some reasonable basis, eg line value. Some import costs may need to be estimated. To record the supplier's bill (as an item purchase), the line items are included at the full cost per the manual costing, and then a line is added to deduct the import costs that have been included. (An item is created as "I buy...", allocated to an account in the cost of sales section). So the final line reads -1 Import costs @ $400 = -$400, no GST, and the net amount of the bill is what you owe the supplier. When the various import costs come in, they are recorded as service bills, allocated either to the same COGS account as the negative amount above, or to separate COGS accounts, as you prefer. The credit above offsets these costs, any difference on the shipment overall is due to the use of estimates in the costing. If the supplier is billing you in their currency, and you have multiple currencies enabled, then the manual costing will have to be done in their currency, with local import costs converted to that currency accordingly.5Views0likes0Comments
