Would you please give users some way of turning off warning messages, especially the following....
If the deposit you are entereing is a payment for a sale that you have recorded, you should be using "Receive Payments" instead of "Receive Money.
We use Spend Money extensively as a simple effective way to record bills and payments on the one screen and almost never record bills for subsequent payment. It is most annoying to receive this nanny message EVERY TIME we are recording payments, especially when we are recording up to 50 entries at a time.
I imagine most MYOB users are reasonably educated mature sensible people who don't appreciate being treated like half-wits, which is the message these warnings convey.
I would like to completely agree, and not with the reference to half-wits, but it is important that users do understand the difference between Spend Money and Pay Bill. They get it wrong more often than you think and throw out their Trade Debtors and Trade Creditors ledgers.
I train MYOB on a regular basis and it is a common mistake, particularly for new or irregular users.
I do however agree that there should be a button that then says "I've got it" and this would set a Preference so it does not appear for the avid user like us. As a defualt, it should be turned off until they get it. Prederence should not be [System-wide]
