MYOB AccountRight used to be an efficient, powerful and fairly comprehensive accounting product that many professional accountants and bookkeepers used because it was built for purpose.
Today's product seems to have been 'dumbed down' because MYOB (or their overlords) have decided that it is more profitable to be a business management tool with so many bells and whistles that any one will use. Hence it no longer uses traditional and specific accounting terms or follows well established accounting/bookkeeping practices.
The philosophy seems to be that if the data does not come from a bank feed, it didn't happen but if it did happen, then it is very difficult to manually create the transaction. Gone are the days of having a system that is efficient for entries that need to be manually entered.
I find as a professional user this is very frustrating.
