Several of our clients have multiple rental properties and we need to dissect the various properties. Essentials would be an ideal tool for this, but we don't seem to be able to segregate transactions - not worth the additional expense to use Account Right level of product - jobs would be ideal
"Essentials - ability to use Jobs"
As a consultant I have hundreds of bills (travel expenses) that need to be invoiced back to different clients. It would make life so much easier if I could assign a unique value / code / job number / client name / or something similar to any or all bills. This would make my invoicing back to client much simpler.
What is the schedule for implementing Job/Project functionality in MYOB Essentials??
It appears to have been hanging around for a while.
Is there an alternative??
I have a client who is ready to switch to Essentials but won't do so until there is the ability to track jobs. Accountright is too expensive for his needs and Essentials would be perfect. I have been making this same request to MYOB reps at bookkeeper events and ATO seminars for years, but it appears that MYOB are not interested in this.
I am absolutely flabergasted that MYOB Essentials has not included Jobs feature in the online version. I am a long time user of MYOB have been ever since the dark ages of the mid 1990's. The jobs feature is one of the most widely used feature of the software. Why has it been omitted? I would love to hear from one of MYOB reps as to why it has not been brought through? I do not want a glossy PR explaination , but the real honest truth would be nice. I read somewhere that we should use 3rd party app that is a partner to MYOB to keep track. Honestly that is a silly idea indeed. Why? That is another app, another software that uses our personal details it feels there will be more work for me using the 3rd party app. Not happy Jan :smileymad:
I have recomended myob to a client who has signed up on the information I provided them. Now I feel I have lead them astray as one part of my clients record keeping is the JOBS feature, one that is very important to their business.
We have clients currently using Banklink where they are using Jobs - would need this functionality in Essentials for these clients to be happy to move across.
Is there any update on Job tracking / numbers to be available please. We are losing clients to other software companies that already have this. Another will go at the end of the year if this is not available.
Thanks

To be able to allocate a "job" to each invoice and be able to print a report to track how much the job has spent to date very essential in the building industry and many other companies out there. Essentials has come far and found this is only one thing it requires to be a very useful software for MYOB for smaller business owners.
Yes please - it is available in AccountRight so shouldn't be too hard to add here
Totally agree with you. It is not worth the additional expense to move to Account Right which is a process in itself as MYOB does not migrate your data when you upgrade from Essentials to another MYOB package. Very disappointing. Using an "add-on" tool is also an additional expense where job tracking expenses is a simple accounting task that should have been part of Essentials with its implementation. Really silly stuff.
Hi,
Our MYOB Essentials manages our Turf Club raceday transactions, there is about 8-9 per year and if I could cost code segregating by jobs/racedays then i could run my profit and loss statement straight from MYOB instead of having to double handle it all back into a spreadsheet. Please add it soon :)
