Frequently asked questions
How to access reports in MYOB Business?
You can access reports via the Reporting menu > Reports
Use the menus at the top to filter the reports based on what you’d like to look at (e.g., Business, Banking or Payroll reports).
When viewing a report you can easily save them for access later by selecting Export in the top right corner and exporting as a PDF or Excel file.
Why do my reports look different in MYOB Business?
Reports look a little different in MYOB Business, as they have been updated with a cleaner look and some report names have changed. A couple of reports have had more significant changes.
In the Balance sheet, unallocated bank feed transactions are not included in the account balances. This is different from MYOB Essentials which previously included the unallocated transactions.
If you use payroll, your Leave transaction report will only start showing balances once you start processing pay runs in MYOB Business that have leave processed. The report’s opening balance will be the previous current available balance in MYOB Essentials. If you wish to look at the details further back you will need to refer to the Leave report saved from your MYOB Essentials.
The Payroll activity and Pay item transaction reports have had a recent change where the date filters are now based on the payment date of the pay run, instead of being based on the pay period dates.
How to access the compliance release for desktop payroll software?
You can find the updates for Ace Payroll and MYOB Payroll from our downloads page under Other software download: https://www.myob.com/nz/support/downloads
These will be available late March, keep an eye out for an email from us when they are ready.
Ace Payroll can also be updated from within the software. Select Utilities > Ace Payroll Online > Download An Upgrade. Tick that you agree with the terms and follow the prompts.
MYOB Payroll can also be downloaded from my.MYOB under My Products > Download
How do I provide my employee with a summary of their earnings for the financial year?
The Payroll activity report is like the Employee earnings certificate, as it shows the total earnings, tax and deductions for the period it is run for.
Filter the report to show an individual employee, select a Date range of This financial year and select Expand all to get detailed information about an employee’s earnings. You can then provide this as a PDF to the employee.
