Unable to search GL accounts by name in AccountRight
I would like to request an enhancement to MYOB AccountRight to allow users to search General Ledger accounts by typing part of the account name in transaction entry screens such as Spend Money, Receive Money, General Journal, and other windows where a GL account is selected. This functionality already exists in MYOB Business and greatly improves data entry efficiency. Users can simply begin typing part of an account name and the matching accounts are displayed immediately. After upgrading from MYOB Business to AccountRight Plus, I was surprised that this capability is not available. It feels like a step backwards in usability. Implementing the same search behaviour across both MYOB Business and AccountRight would provide a more consistent user experience, reduce data entry time, and make AccountRight easier to use for both new and existing customers.
Email notifications to myob administrator
I understand that MYOB has a function whereby some changes to the company's MYOB are notified by email to the MYOB owner. Suggestions as follows: - expanding this notification to administrators as well, or having the option to notify administrators as well. - having a list of what kind of changes to the company's MYOB file are notified, for example, changes to supplier payment details or the company's bank account details.
Add ability to match multiple bank payments to one MYOB payroll entry
MYOB should have the ability to match multiple bank payments to one MYOB payroll entry. eg i had to make 2 bank payments to an employee against 1 payroll entry and the process to fix this is too time consuming and complicated using a clearing account and journal entry We can do this in reverse when matching one bank payment to multiple purchases so why not vice versa
Surcharge from online payments not shown on invoice
When a customer pays for an invoice using the MYOB online payment system and the fee payment is set to be paid by the customer, the invoice doesn't update to show the service fee or surcharge that the customer paid. My customers then need to have a copy of the invoice showing this surcharge amount. Can the invoice please be updated to show the surcharge that both I can view as the supplier and the customer can view? This link refers to the issue commonly in the MYOB Community: Provide receipt showing surcharges | MYOB Community Thanks.
Feature Request: Estimated Income Tax Tracker for Sole Traders
It would be extremely helpful if MYOB could provide an optional income tax estimate for sole traders based on net profit, similar to how GST tracking currently works. MYOB already calculates net profit in real time. Using this figure, MYOB could estimate personal income tax liability for the current financial year and display it on the dashboard. A possible implementation could include: Income Tax Estimate based on ATO Marginal Tax Brackets Using the current Australian resident tax rates for the relevant financial year, MYOB could automatically estimate income tax on the user's net profit. Optional Medicare Levy Toggle Users could optionally include the 2% Medicare levy in the estimate. Optional Custom Tax Rate Because individual tax situations differ (other income, deductions, offsets, HECS, etc.), users could override the calculation with a custom estimated tax percentage if preferred. The dashboard could then display a simple summary such as: Net Profit (FY to date) Estimated Income Tax Estimated After-Tax Profit Adding something like this to the MYOB Business Lite Dashboard would provide valuable financial visibility for many sole traders in the MYOB community. If other sole traders would also find this helpful, please consider voting for this idea so the MYOB team can see the demand.
2FA
When setting up additional two-factor authentication (2FA), please can we have a button so we can select which method is our preferred method. My preferred method is email but MYOB now only allows 5 minutes to enter the code (it used to be 1 hour) and sometimes my email can be a bit slow and I miss the time window to log in. I added SMS as an additional 2FA method, for the infrequent times when my email is slow, but MYOB always makes SMS the preferred method. I contacted MYOB Support (case #02176550) and spent over a month disabling then re-entering SMS as per instructed, only for SMS to always come out as the preferred method. I job share so now I face the dilemma: either get woken up on my days off with SMS codes until work colleague can "try another method" or risk not being able to log in at all when my email is running slow. This should be an easy fix, should it not??
Upload documents to existing receive money transactions
Hi, it has been suggested by a MYOB Moderator that i add a suggestion as what i would like to do is not available in desktop or browser. I use desktop MYOB as i find it friendlier, i have access to the browser and i do use this for some reports and my fortnightly Payroll. I created a receive money transaction in the desktop and i would like to add a pdf to this entry. I can not do this in MYOB Desktop and if i go into the browser it wants me to create a new entry. I have gone into Find transaction and clicked on the reference number of the existing receive money but there is no option to add here either. I did a search on this request before i asked the question to the community myself and it appears this was asked two years ago as a request so i am not the only person :) Appreciate the opportunity to request an idea.Invoice Number Sequence
We are currently AroFlo across our business operations. We have four business units, three of which generate invoices through AroFlo, while the fourth operates solely within MYOB. At present, when invoices are imported from AroFlo into MYOB, the invoice number sequence in MYOB is automatically updated to follow the numbering from the imported invoice. This results in the next invoice created directly in MYOB using an unexpected sequence, which creates confusion and inconsistency in our internal processes, particularly for the unit that uses MYOB independently. We would like to suggest that MYOB provide an option to disable or override automatic invoice number sequencing when importing or entering invoices. This would allow businesses with multiple invoicing systems or workflows to better manage and maintain consistent numbering per business unit.
