Good morning
Could you kindly advise if the following items are possible in LiveAccounts - or can be added to the development list?
- Can we have recurring transactions for sales, bills, spend money & receive money
Thank you

I record Monthly Depreciation and Interest by Journal.
Some (smaller) clients provide information in Excel/Summary format.
I enter Income and Expenses on a monthly/quarterly basis by Journal.
Wages/PAYG - W are also entered on a quarterly basis by Journal.
The Business Owner is provided with a quarterly P&L and Balance Sheet.
It would be beneficial to have Recurring Journal Entries in MYOB Essentials..
Bank Feeds/Bank Rules have diminished the need for Recurring Entries for some businesses..
STP as it stands will require micro businesses to report each pay day using software - my understanding is that the STP requirements for micro businesses are yet to be finalised.

How do I setup automatically recurring invoices in MYOB Essentials? I can't for the life of me find an option to do this, and the whole reason I switched to MYOB from the free Wave Accounting system was to ensure I had ALL the features necessary, not just some of them (Wave did have this one and it was super easy to find and setup). I can see people asking for this back in 2015 and 2018 and being told it was "being looked into" and it was "understood" how important this feature was.
I have a client with a standing purchase order. If would be useful if I could load in the purchase order to be saved for that client, and not have to enter it everytime I do an invoice for them . And of course, to be able to edit it when required. And while I'm on that .. how about being able to put in an beginning amount for the purchase order, that gets adjusted by the purchases, so I can see when funds are getting low. Just a thought!
In MYOB Essentials, you can create an Expense and then "Remember" it, to save is as a template.
If you want to have the amount of the original decreased by each purchase - this feature is not available in Essentials. If they client were to upgrade to AccountRight Live, they could raise an Item-layout Purchase Order and then enter each suppllier delivery against that order. Whilst the original purchase won't be decreased, they can check the order anytime to see what was ordered and what has been received to date.

Hi everyone,
Thank you very much for all your comments and votes on this idea. We understand that being able to set up recurring transactions in MYOB Essentials is important for many of you.
As you can imagine, this is a big job and the team wants to ensure that they provide the best solution for you. This unfortunately means that this feature may not be available until sometime next year.
We request that you keep your votes coming. And we will continue to pass on your comments and feedback to our developers.
Regards,

I assumed, like many others as I am discovering, that getting an online package would be simpler.... well, no! Not being able to have recurring transactions is a disaster, especially considering in business that a lot of outgoings go to the same suppliers, it would be a HUGE time saver if the only thing we had to change were some dates and $$$ amounts. PLEASE establish the recurring transaction function to the online Essential Package.
I have just signed up for a 1 month free trial and I am so glad I haven't proceeded further because upon entering my first month's expenses I am amazed to see there is no recurring transaction functinality! Worse still, that this has been a suggested feature for FOUR years and yet it is still not available. Given that many people using this software will be Small business owners working from home and claiming home office expenses, this seems to me to be a basic functionality requirement! I certainly do NOT want to have to enter generals journals for Mortgage Interest, Electric, Phone, Internet, Rates and Insurance from scratch EVERY month!
I am so disappointed and will not be proceeding with MYOB.
How can a modern cloud accounting solution NOT have a recurring journals function?? Well MYOB Essentials doesn't!!
I'm a Chartered Accountant in Public Practice and don't do hard core accounting/bookkeeping work very often - my work is mainly taxation, advice & complaince related.
But recently I took on the position as Treasurer of our local Chamber of Commerce and was delighted to see that records were being kept via MYOB Essentials. Ahhh Automation!!!!
BUT the one major downfall is the lack of a recurring journals feature. Hardly a new idea and should be added ASAP. Whether its recurring journals or recurring invoices or something else, the feature is essential to be as efficient as possible!!
You will be waiting....
MYOB doesn't believe in rushing things. As you can see this has been on the "development" for the past four years!
Just shows that they don't really listen to their customers.
I am sure that it is not that hard - they have it in all other packages.
It abosulutely baffles me that an on-line accounting system does not allow you automatically generate repeat invoices. I invoice my client once per month for the same amount and now have to manually enter them. I used to be on Xero which had this function but was recommended to switch by my accountant. Did I make the wrong decision?
Hi
This is important to me.
Please include it.
