Card File: Ability to set head office cards/accounts

It would be great if we could have the ability to have the ability to set up Parent/Child cards - this would be similar to the ability that is currently in MYOB of setting up jobs and sub jobs.

We currently have individual suppliers that we order from but need to pay the Parent company. So we have individual orders under different names and ABNs to the Parent company. The inability to set up the supplier as Parent/Child makes this a difficult process.

This would work really well with Clients as well as Suppliers.

I would appreciate it if this could be considered.

Thanks :)

It would be great if Cards could have a Head Office and Branch functionality similar to Jobs where they have a Header and sub job Detailed Job info. This would allow us to send invoices and statements to a central head office for payments, but shipping and contact details for each of the regional branches we service. Even though all of this customer's branches use a central AP address, the customer has requested we combine all our branch cards as they want to process a single end of period supplier statement. We have at least half a dozen national truck dealer customers who operate similarly.

Can we have multiple customers on one statement. I have a company that has many stores New Zealand wide and I would like them separate so they are easy to find within the company file, but I would like to combine them on 1 statement as all the accounts go to the same place. I don't want to be sending 50 odd statements for each individual store, but I still want to be able to track sales for each individual store.

Hi MHS,

We at Accounting Addons have created an Head Office/Store solution which allows you to invoice at the store and the solution takes care of synchronising much of the info against a Head Office card.

It also handles the receipt of payments and applies it against the store.

The data is all contained through MYOB, as such, you don't need to fiddle with external info. You simply need to identify the store cards, the head office cards and how they match.

I recommend you email Jeff, my boss, if you are interested further.

You can find us at http://accountingaddons.com.au.

Best of luck

Hi MHS,

This topic caught my interest as here at Anigo Systems, we develop some software called Mobileezy which also contains a head office feature.  This feature is very similar to that described by Nicolas at Accounting Add Ons.

Using Mobileezy linked to your MYOB file, you can associate branch office and head office cards together and when sales are created to the branch office in Mobileezy, the invoice is raised to the head office automatically, allowing you to send full statements of all branch office activities to the head office.

If you'd like more information, check us out at the add-on solutions section or email usat info@anigo.com.au

Hope this helps,

Cheers,

Alison Bennett

As our major customer has over 700 stores, this idea caught our eye.  We invoice to the head office however at the moment, we need to have all the stores individually recorded.  Surely it cant be that hard to link these by a common field with MYOB?

We are not interested in adding more software when we have multiple users and our system needs to be very simple.  I gather MYOB is not interested in adding this feature.....?????

Thank you for your feedback Plasticman. 

I understand that you would prefer to see these changes made to the AccountRight software so that you can easily handle invoices involving Head Offices.

As Barry_C mentioned we would love to see interest from more users so that our developers can consider this change in AccountRight software. The suggestions by third party developers are great for customers who are comfortable using an Add-On with their AccountRight software. 

This seems a simple thing to implement but will have a major effect on usability. We desperately need it and would prefer not to use add ons where possible.

Thanks for your feedback on this, Mike and thank you for adding your vote. The votes are how we see the demand for the feature being added and know where we need to focus our attention first.
