Hi there PlayAnarchy and Kat1963,
Thank you for sharing your comments, and for your votes.
Given MYOB Essentials was initially meant to be a simplistic product, it does lack certain features that would benefit a lot of clients in running their business. However, we have grown and expanded the product and it's capabilities since, and will hopefully continue introducing new functions, such as budgeting ability, that would improve on the user experience of the software.
Anyone else who would like to see this implemented into MYOB Essentials, please cast your vote by clicking on the '+ VOTE' option next to the subject heading.
Cheers,
Tallie
