Remove the automatic cheque numbers for every transaction in spend money and payroll. Most clients use internet banking & EFT these days, so cheques shouldn't be the default option. If you write a cheque you should manually enter the cheque number in MYOB.
Banking: Change the Automatic Cheque Numbering

It's just lack of will and or ignorance of the fact that nearly nobody uses cheques now. Fortunately for me I have zero clients who write cheques these days so I just let the payroll generate a cheque number as it's never going to be duplicated.
It is so stupid that it hasn't been addressed though for what should be a very simple fix!

This is brilliant and have suggested this to MYOB on numerous occassions without being acted on by the developers.

I look back at how long this issue has been around and am disgusted that MYOB have not done something about this. Considering cheques are now being fazed out altogether wouldn't you think MYOB would have done something by now.
SO MYOB what are you doing about this issue of of cheque numbers?
- Kathy2Experienced User
Thank you for taking this into consideration. I agree a cheque number should not be default. Today's society use minimal cheque transactions. I find the auto check numbers frustrating for payroll as I have to override every employees pay check Auto#. I see the original post is quite old (2012). Has this been rectified yet? I'm hoping there are other default options.

I have been going on about this very point to MYOB for many years. No action despite the platitudes.
- JenniJones11Cover User
This suggestion has been open for 8 years. Frustrating that despite how much we are all paying for this program, highly desired updates, which would increase satisfaction and improve workflow are not actioned on by MYOB.
Very bad customer service.
This does not seem to be resolved and it is very frustrating! Could someone from MYOB please ensure this is done as quickly as possible!! The time I am spending re-entering EFT into the cheque number box is ridiculous!!

The problem is in the payroll, spend money or pay creditors functions. It is a waste of time to have to type EFT every time. The default should be EFT and cheques should be the hard code option. I have been asking MYOB to do this for years. Really guys!!!

Please MYOB for the umteenth time can you get rid of the auto cheque number in the payments screen and replace it with EFT as the autofill. This is the 21st Century. No one uses cheques any more. PLEASE. I have been asking for a few years now. Time to move into the real world.
