Re: Subscription increase 2026
I believe I started using MYOB in the late 1990s when I purchased a program which I downloaded to my computer. There were upgrades every so often, but I only ever upgraded about every 3rd or 4th upgrade, not thinking that the (usually minor) changes warranted the upgrade fee. It was quite a game changer when I moved to the live Account Right Plus and began paying per month what I used to pay for my three or four yearly upgrade. However, the benefits were great and in 2016 I began paying $99 per month for the Live version. Between 2016 and 2020 one could work with one, two or three files on MYOB for the same subscription price. The big change came in 2020 when the billing indicated that the second file was "free", but it was obvious that it would soon not be! For the next two years the second file (I had decided to delete my third file) was charged at 60%, then in 2023 the second file cost the same as the first. In other words, between 2018 and 2023, MYOB managed to double their rate! What difference is it to MYOB that I am working on 1 file or 2 files? The "enhancements" are to the program not to my files! The monthly rates for our business for the past few years show increases of $10, $18 and $30. MYOB is getting greedier and greedier. So, in 2016 my MYOB sub was $99 per month. Ten years later, it is about to be $330!81Views2likes0CommentsRe: Payrun Payment Date
Thanks for your reply, Jem but I am not trying to alter the date of a recorded pay. My assistant sets up a Payrun on Mondays, Saves & Closes. I open up the saved payrun (usually the next day), check it, create an ABA file & import it to our bank account to pay the wages. Occasionally, I would prefer to do this on a Monday night, but the payment date has been entered for the following day (as instructed) & I am not able to edit the date. I can still edit employees’ hours, but not the date. At this stage the payrun has not been finalized & has not been sent to STP reporting. I cannot understand why the payment date cannot been an editable field until the payrun is finalized.250Views0likes1CommentPayrun Payment Date
I find it very frustrating that I am unable to alter the Payrun date on a Payrun that has been created with the payment date entered for the following day. Occasionally, it would be more convenient for me to process the pays on the same day that my Assistant creates the payrun, although the paydate entered is always the following day, the usual pay date. If the payrun is a file that can be edited (as it is) I cannot understand why the actual payment date cannot be altered. We also had the situation once when the wrong date was entered and when I went to process the pays the following day I received an error message that the bank would probably not honour the payment as the date entered was a prior date. Would it be so difficult to make the Payment Date an editable field, especially when a Payrun can be saved & closed until finalised?384Views0likes4Comments
