AccountRight Bank Feeds - In the Spend Money menu could there be an option to use a Recurrent Transaction ?
Situation at present: I go to the Banking command centre and select Spend Money - then select Use Recurring Transaction, find the payee and record the new instance of that payment (e.g. my monthly phone bill). Next, I go to Bank Feeds, find the payment (often a direct debit) and match it to my new payment. To save time, when I go into Bank Feeds - Spend Money, could there be an option to open the Recurrent Transactions list and select a recurrent transaction, to allocate the Bank Feed payment ?

JUST MAKE RECONCILIATIONS WORK
Since MYOB BROKE AccountRight it has become so frustrating and unproductive to use I wonder why I just don’t go back to excel spreadsheets! The WHOLE POINT of the most basic accounting software is to make it easy to reconcile bank accounts. MYOB has BROKEN reconciliations. I have sent MULTIPLE support requests over 2 years, and there have been MANY software updates but MYOB developers seem to have singularly (deliberately?) avoided solving this problem. I have found workarounds for some reconciliation issues to the point of a reasonable level of satisfaction UNTIL I NEED TO AUTO-MATCH TRANSACTIONS PREVIOUSLY RECORDED TO THE BANK STATEMENT. IT DOESN’T WORK!!! So if there is any reason for suspending a reconciliation process such as being called away, or if there is a problem with a reconciliation where I need to reimport a statement I NEED TO MANUALLY REMATCH HUNDREDS OF TRANSACTIONS!! Yes. I said MANUALLY!!!!! Re the attached screenshot most, but not all, of these transactions have been recorded. Most were recorded in the Bank Statement interface using “Add Transaction”, and all data are exactly as per the statement. There were approximately 20 more of the 167 transactions that I still needed to record. FIVE (5!) of approximately 147 recorded transactions were matched. In order to find the remaining unrecorded 20 transactions MYOB are expecting ME to MANUALLY match about 142 TRANSACTIONS, ONE AT A TIME, in order to find and add the missing 20! And also, when MYOB broke AccountRight, the match transaction window NO LONGER PRESELECTS THE BEST FIT. So I need to scroll up and down 142 transactions in the window to match the transaction. AND IF FOR ANY REASON IT DOESN’T RECONCILE I HAVE TO ENTIRELY REPEAT THE WHOLE LABORIOUS PROCESS!
