Account lists: Header accounts
MYOB, Can you please comment on why MYOB Essentials does hot have the ability to have Headers. This is a important part of reporting to business owners eg Salaries - Directors and Salaries - Staff should always be separated. I have used MYOB since 1998 and cannot understand why Headers would be removed from a Accounts List. The big advantage that MYOB had over tax preparation software like Solution 6 is that theChart of Accounts(now Accounts List) could be modified to suit the management needs of every different business. MYOB should be encouraging Business Owners to use MYOB regularlyfor decision making purposes. We now have asubscription model whichforces businessowners to have the latestversion. This is good for decision making purposes but I cannot stress enough the importance of a functional Accounts List.

I wouldn't think this was a particularly difficult thing to 'add' in to MYOB general ledger detail reports (or in the GST/Tax area etc) but we definitely DO need to be able to simply customise our MYOB general ledger details report so as to 'add' a column on that report to show the GST claimed/paid in respect of ANY transaction. This makes it very quick and easy to pick a particular account, have the appropriate column filters ON (including the tax amount column) to drill down and not only see account totals but to determine which PARTICULAR/INDIVIDUAL accounts have had GST treated correctly. Exception reports are fine...but when explaining to a client, it is far easier to simply bring up an account and show them which accounts are not doing what we need/expect them to do. By having a 'tax column' account, it will also benefit the accountant by totalling up the GST applicable to those transactions without meticulously wasting time clicking into transactions one at a time then manually adding up as a basis for a journal adjustment. Quickbooks has this simple tax amount column available to ALL ledger transaction detail reports and I think it is long overdue in MYOB reporting. Very simple for accountants and clients to make use of...please add in ASAP! I have attached a QB report which is just a basic drill down into the general ledger of 'bank fees' --> I simply select tax column and it shows me which transactions did or did not have GST claimed on them WITHOUT having to view all transactions for a month/quarter/year for ALL accounts. An exception report is great for bookkeepers or those at a data entry level...the column I refer to is a simple addition which helps accountants check particular accounts at a quick glance and gives us the information in a split second including the totals which form the basis for any adjustment required. I also discussed this with a MYOB training representative some time ago in Brisbane who advised that this functionality was not and was never part of the MYOB reporting system. A MYOB representative advised us late yesterday to submit this here in the hope that it would be considered and adopted in newer versions...please do!

We currently have two bank accounts, one with without an overdraft that is an asset in MYOB chart of accounts and a second with an overdraft that is a liability account in MYOB. The overdraft is our primary account. The problem I have is that MYOB defaults to the bank account with the lowest account number, so that wheneveryou start to enter data you need to manually change the bank account to the overdraft. My suggestion is that you should be able to tick a box to allow any of the "bank accounts" to become the default bank for data entry. This would avoid the problem when you forget and entry data to the wrong bank account and then have to make the changes. Could you please consider this function or if anyone knows a way around this problem let me know.

It would be really useful if MYOB had the ability to insert rows in Spend Money/Receive Money/General Journals transactions (you can do it in purchase/sales invoices) – it is extremely frustrating when something has been entered and a line is missing, you then need to redo a sectionof the journal if you want it in a particular order (or especially with recurring journals thatmay slightly change from month to month and you want to insert a line, but not at the bottom). This would be easily overcome with the ability to insert lines in these types of transactions. What do other people think or am I the only one that wants the order of line items to be in a specific order?

I think that there needs to be a facility with MYOB AccountRight for entering automatically reversing journals. This would be a great feature and one that lots of MYOB users would appreciate as reflected in the forum. "Reversing Journals"25KViews74likes43CommentsSetup: Add a budget
Hi Feedback from our clients tells us that many clients would like a simple budgeting feature. One suggestion was to enter in either a monthly, quarterly or yearly budgeted figure for each account and then areport to print at intervals to see how the actual expenses are comparing.

When entering general journals we are unable to tab through when entering data. Using Google Chrome on Mac book air (brand new Oct 2014 with latest software). Also it would be nice if we could copy journals...same idea as copy invoices. Thanks, Omni Payroll Team.

It would be good to have the ability to generate a Balance Sheet and P&L that shows prior period comparative data within Live Accounts. If possible, the option to show additional columns such as $ movement or % movement would be helpful also. Most accountants would find this helpful in analyzing the performance of a business.
