Cost Centre column on each line of a transaction
I'd find it tremendously helpful to be able to allocate a job code and a cost centre on each line of a transaction. I often have purchases that cover multiple cost centres but can only allocate a cost centre to the entire transaction. This would cover all transactions including payroll, sales, purchases, general journals etc.
Display JOB column in purchases register and Sales
Hi there, I think it would be amazing if when you open the purchases and sales registers in Accountright Desktop, if the JOB column was displayed. This way you could easily see and separate what purchases have been - for what job. Right now I can only access that information by running a jobs report and it doesn't show if the purchases / Sales have been paid or not. It would be so incredible to be able to quickly look and see how much has been spent / earnt on each JOB at a glance. If you could have a arrow down option for that column to be able to categories the jobs by alphabetical order EVEN BETTER!
Offshore Supplier Foreign Currency Total
We would like to be able to see a foreign currency total in the purchase register when filtered by supplier / period. Totals are shown in local currency only, but supplier statements are received in their own Fx currency - making quick confirmation of balance difficult.
Taxable Payment Reporting to the ATO
There is an issue with the reporting of Taxable Payments to the ATO in relation to sub-contractors within the building and construction industry - when entering a suppliers invoice and you select the box at the top of the screen "Reportable Payment" - it records the whole amount of the invoice. We have many sub-contractors that we use and their invoices contain both a labour component and some material costs. The ATO only requires that the labour component be reported - there is no requirement to report the cost of materials. I have suggested that a box be placed on the far right of the screen - after the tax column - a box that can be ticked if that line is a reportable line - ie - the labour amount and not tick the line that has an amount for materials. To me this seem a very simple and easy solution so that ONLY the labour amount is reportable to the ATO but I have been advised by MYOB that this cannot be done just for us for our reporting! As this is not just our reporting requirements to the ATO – it would apply to ALL building/construction companies that use sub-contractors! I realise that another option is to record each bill twice – one recording the labour and another for the materials but as we get many many invoices each month this would be an onerous task to have to enter them separately each time!!! Our creditors ledger would be huge with almost every invoice that we receive having to be entered twice! As I stated above this is not just our isolated requirement – it is on the ATO website that they only require the labour component to be reported via the Taxable Payments Report – so this should NOT include material costs. The ATO legislation states that only labour is reportable. Can your implementation team please look into this as a matter of urgency - from 1st August 2025 all Taxable Payment Reports must be submitted electronically - they will no longer accept the paper version - so the reporting must be correct and NOT include materials.
Supplier card controls
Under User Access, manage roles - I'd like to request the ability to assign read-only access cards - supplier buying details or creating new supplier cards. Why this is important? Restricting access to who can change buying details or create new cards is critical. There are users in the business who set up payments, but allowing a segregation of duties between who can make changes is a key control.
Supplier Purchases Payment Reminders
We have international bills which have up to 4 payment dates scheduled over a 6 month period. Presently we need to use an externally app to manage this. Currently there is no way to manage single or multiple future payments within AccountRight. A calendar would be ideal to manage payment and allow management within AccountRight so we don’t need to use external apps. It would be much cleaner and less prone to missing a payment date.
