Setup: Recurring transactions in MYOB Essentials
Good morning Could you kindly advise if the following items are possible in LiveAccounts - or can be added to the development list? - Can we have recurring transactions for sales, bills, spend money & receive money Thank you Heidi107KViews468likes226CommentsSpend 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 "Expand In Tray Feature to all transaction types"67KViews244likes132CommentsBanking: Allocating multiple bank transfers to the one payroll transaction
Hi there, I recently experienced an issue where my payroll was entered correctly, but the payroll officer made erroneous take home bank transfers to the staff. As soon as she realised her mistake, she made a second transaction to those staff members that were underpaid to ensure that they received the correct take home amount. So, everything is correct - it's just that some staff were paid for one pay week in two transactions. Unfortunately, the MYOB live Accounts does not allow you to allocate multiple bank transfers to the one payroll transaction. I thought there must be a way, so I went onto online support to see if they could help. As it turns out there is no way and the recommendation was to redo 2 payrolls to precisely match the two net amounts remitted. I believe that this is a very poor solution. The integrity of the payroll records should be maintained. The payroll record is absolutely correct. It records the hours worked, gross, tax, super and take home pay. It's just that the take home pay was paid in 2 transactions. I should not have to fabricate 2 payroll runs to match the two bank transfers. I strongly believe that the accounting software should allow the allocation of multiple bank transfers to the one payroll transaction. The software already allows for employees to receive pay "split" into seperate amounts within the Employee Pay setup section - but this is not the same scenario. Additionally, some staff were overpaid. In order to adjust for this, the payroll officer paid a lesser amount (by the amount of the overpayment from the previous week) in the following weeks pay to those overpaid staff members. In this event, we have 2 payroll runs and two payments. The individual transactions for the two weeks do not match, but they do reconcile precisely to the right payment having been remitted. I think basically what needs to be able to happen is that any payment should be able to be allocated to any outstanding payroll transactions (or part there of). Would be interested to hear developer thoughts on this. "Allocating multiple bank transfers to the one payroll transaction"42KViews197likes81CommentsBank rules: Turn off auto allocation
Hi, Just wondering if there is a way to turn off the auto allocation in LiveAccounts as I find it is constantly matching wrong payments to the wrong customer or supplier invoice. Twice I have thought that a bill had been paid as it was cleared out of the system only to receive an overdue notice from the supplier and when I go through and check it has in fact been auto reconciled by LiveAccounts with another incorrect payment "LiveAccounts - Turn off Auto Allocation"34KViews38likes57CommentsSpend money: Ability to take a photo of receipts and attach to transaction
I'd like the ability to take a photo of receipts and then attach them to the transaction in the banking screen. This will make it really easy for businesses to keep their records and also will help bookkeepers and accountants when working on their client's file. I've got a few clients who would really benefit from this as they are constantly travelling and loosing the actual receipts. It will also save the accountants asking for copies of invoices if they are already attached to the transaction. I've recently spoken with a couple of people who raved about this functionality that their online software provider has and it would be great if MYOB's customers could do the same.

For more than seven years I used I used the desktop version of MYOB. It has the VERY USEFUL "Prepare Bank Deposit". I was convinced to use MYOB Essentials as it would allow me to get invoicing done quicker but with the current TAKE PAYMENTS issue and the lack of the Prepare Bank Deposit, I'm considering going BACK to the OLD FASHIONED way. PLEASE FIX THIS or else I'm going to have to pay my bookkeeper again to do the Historical Balancing when converting FROM the cloud based system BACK to the Old Fashioned way. If you ask me, you shouldn't have ever taken out the most useful function in transfering money from one account to another. I know I can do it using Journal Entries but really.... every time I do it, I have to refer to previous entries so I know what column to put each enty in (CR/DR) "prepare bank deposit"16KViews36likes23CommentsBank transactions: Transfer - Auto-populate manually create transfer transaction
If I transfer money from one account to another and it comes up in a bank feed, When I press the option to allocate it to a transfer between accounts, and then manually create an entry, i wish the amount would be pre-entered into the form. I always have to go back, look at the amount, write it down and then go to manually enter the transfer again. Massive pain. "Record a transfer between accounts"14KViews50likes16CommentsBank transactions: Match partial invoice values
I think Myob should be able to match uneven amounts that are deposited. This is particularly troublesome for me as I receive eftpos deposits containing several progress payments across multiple invoices. This makes matching to invoices incredibly difficult and I have to enter customer payments. This makes having bank feeds redundant to a degree. There already is a column for matching called "amount to apply" but you cannot edit it. It would be ideal if this feature could be added. Thanks, Cathy "Matching uneven deposit amounts"11KViews29likes11Comments
