Pay Bills: Additional fees field

TrudiMelbMem

Hi, as we pay many bills via credit card to take advantage of points earning, it would be great if there was a Credit Card Fee box to enter the charge into, similar to the Finance Charge box in the Pay Bills window. This could be linked directly to the bank fees or credit card fee expense account and would save extra processing when paying bills already entered in MYOB (as opposed to a Spend Money transaction). Currently we have to go into the supplier and add a transaction for the value of the cc fee and then go to pay bills and pay it altogether inclusive of the cc fee. A finance charge type of window for a credit card fee would be brilliant! Thanks.

100% support this idea. I just edit the original bill if it's still in the active month but it's annoying with that period has been locked already.

Great Idea, support this wholeheartedly - becoming more common as companies jump on the bandwagon of passing on their credit card fees.

EXCELLENT IDEA!

I know, right?! @HDG . C'mon MYOB, it sounds like an easy thing to do, surely

HDG

Oh YES PLEASE! We have been asking for this for ages as it's so relevant in this current climate of paying suppliers.

Surely it wouldn't be a huge fix.

I reckon we'll all be retired before this is implemented but we can continue dreaming.

I might have a work around. I point the Finance Charge in Linked Accounts to my CC processing fees expense account and it seems to work. After you've paid something with a credit card fee, enter the full amount and pop the cc fee in the Finance Charge box and it'll create the expense for you. I've only just tested it once and it seemed to work.

Thanks @TrudiMelbMem Might give that a go.

Oh yes definitely. I'm so sick of having to do a spend money for my credit card payment fees from suppliers. Who the hell even uses finance charges? Sure another box can be put in that area. The world of finance is changing MYOB and you are not moving with the times or your putting to much enery into other programs and forgetting how you got where you are. Look after your core customers!
