Report: General Ledger [Detail] - Tax column
I wouldn't think this was a particularly difficult thing to 'add' in to MYOB general ledger detail reports (or in the GST/Tax area etc) but we definitely DO need to be able to simply customise our MYOB general ledger details report so as to 'add' a column on that report to show the GST claimed/paid in respect of ANY transaction. This makes it very quick and easy to pick a particular account, have the appropriate column filters ON (including the tax amount column) to drill down and not only see account totals but to determine which PARTICULAR/INDIVIDUAL accounts have had GST treated correctly. Exception reports are fine...but when explaining to a client, it is far easier to simply bring up an account and show them which accounts are not doing what we need/expect them to do. By having a 'tax column' account, it will also benefit the accountant by totalling up the GST applicable to those transactions without meticulously wasting time clicking into transactions one at a time then manually adding up as a basis for a journal adjustment. Quickbooks has this simple tax amount column available to ALL ledger transaction detail reports and I think it is long overdue in MYOB reporting. Very simple for accountants and clients to make use of...please add in ASAP! I have attached a QB report which is just a basic drill down into the general ledger of 'bank fees' --> I simply select tax column and it shows me which transactions did or did not have GST claimed on them WITHOUT having to view all transactions for a month/quarter/year for ALL accounts. An exception report is great for bookkeepers or those at a data entry level...the column I refer to is a simple addition which helps accountants check particular accounts at a quick glance and gives us the information in a split second including the totals which form the basis for any adjustment required. I also discussed this with a MYOB training representative some time ago in Brisbane who advised that this functionality was not and was never part of the MYOB reporting system. A MYOB representative advised us late yesterday to submit this here in the hope that it would be considered and adopted in newer versions...please do!

We currently have two bank accounts, one with without an overdraft that is an asset in MYOB chart of accounts and a second with an overdraft that is a liability account in MYOB. The overdraft is our primary account. The problem I have is that MYOB defaults to the bank account with the lowest account number, so that wheneveryou start to enter data you need to manually change the bank account to the overdraft. My suggestion is that you should be able to tick a box to allow any of the "bank accounts" to become the default bank for data entry. This would avoid the problem when you forget and entry data to the wrong bank account and then have to make the changes. Could you please consider this function or if anyone knows a way around this problem let me know.

It would be really useful if MYOB had the ability to insert rows in Spend Money/Receive Money/General Journals transactions (you can do it in purchase/sales invoices) – it is extremely frustrating when something has been entered and a line is missing, you then need to redo a sectionof the journal if you want it in a particular order (or especially with recurring journals thatmay slightly change from month to month and you want to insert a line, but not at the bottom). This would be easily overcome with the ability to insert lines in these types of transactions. What do other people think or am I the only one that wants the order of line items to be in a specific order?

I think that there needs to be a facility with MYOB AccountRight for entering automatically reversing journals. This would be a great feature and one that lots of MYOB users would appreciate as reflected in the forum. "Reversing Journals"25KViews74likes43CommentsReports: Run reports across financial years
It would be useful to be able to run a report across two financial years - for example, if I want to run a P & L for 1/1/13 to 31/12/13 I need to run a report for 1/1/13 to 31/3/13 then 1/4/13 to 31/12/13 and combine the two of them.

Currently the above report displays session times at UTC. It would be great if the user can specify the time zone for which the report is generated for. If the user can't specify the time zone then at least default it to AEST. Without knowing the exact numbers but I hazard a guess that majority of AccountRight Live users are in this time zone. Having to always work out when a user logged on is rather time consuming. "Changing time zone for Session Security Audit Report"14KViews17likes16CommentsJournal Entry: Remove Automatic Credit Entry
When posting Journal Entries there is new behaviour on the second line. If your first line is a debit entry of say $100, when you tab to the second line it automatically populates the credit column with $100. If you have more debits you have to then delete that entry, sioft-tab to go back the debit column and enter your amount. This is frustrating and time consuming. Please change it back so when you tab you get the debit column again and the credit only automatically populates when you tab off the bebit column WITHOUT entering anything Apologies if this has already been raised, but a search didn't bring it up "Journal entry defaulting to credit the 2nd line'11KViews51likes13CommentsReport: Job Transactions [Accrual] - Include Tax amounts
Isit possible to produce a job transaction report that includes the GST in the Debit and Credit amounts. This is needed when customers require a report on the expenses and payment that have been incurred on their job. It would alsohelps with our budgeting. Some of the transaction have GST and some transactions relate to exports and other GST free transactions so it is difficult to get an accurate picture of the current situation. "Report - Job transaction including GST'8.6KViews16likes9CommentsAccounts List: Adding default category
I have found MYOB reporting to have significant limitations when a business has different cost centres and wishes to report on these seperately The business uses the 4 codes for sales and the 5 codes for cost of sales whilst the 6 codes are used for the admin expenses of the entire business. We cannot therefore report on profit centre 1, profit centre 2 etc seperately. I have explored the use of categories and these appear to have potential. The major problem with this is that you need to specify the category at the bottom of each data entry page for every transaction. This is not feasible!! SO - can the software be upgraded so that categories can be linked to account codes (so that the account code defaults to one of the categories). This would save having to enter the category on every transaction and hence open up huge potential for the use of category reports. "Account Right reporting "8.4KViews13likes7Comments
