MYOB Business release notes

Security

Helping you keep your online data safer
Two-factor authentication (2FA) is a key way we keep your data safe. To meet the latest security challenges, we've removed the option to remember your device for 30 days when entering a 2FA code. Instead, you'll now need to sign in and enter a 2FA code at least once every 24 hours. So, if you work in MYOB Business daily, you now need to sign in and complete the 2FA check each day. More about security improvements.

Payroll

• Helping you stay compliant with super guarantee rules (Australia only)
  The ATO requires every business to have a default super fund. If you don't have one set in MYOB Business, when you send a new employee a self-onboarding request you'll now see a more prominent message to set your default super fund.

  

• More control when updating hourly employees (Australia only)
  When you update an hourly employee's pay rate or pay cycle and it affects their standard pay hours, you can now choose to revert or keep their current standard pay hours. For example, if you've set their standard pay hours to 0 (because they're a casual employee with varying hours), you can keep this if you change their pay cycle.

  

• More informative pay slips (New Zealand only)
  The Year to date gross pay field has been added to pay slips. This provides better visibility to you and the employee of their taxable earnings for the financial year. The value includes both the taxable gross payments processed through pay runs and any pay history you might have entered for the employee when you started using MYOB Business.

  

Bug fixes

• Unprocessed timesheets are now automatically listed when you start a new pay run. Previously, you had to re-enter the Date of payment in the pay run to make them appear. (Australia only)

• We fixed an issue where bank feed transactions were not appearing in AccountRight desktop but they were still appearing in the browser. Bank feeds are now consistently appearing in both the desktop and browser.

• We fixed an issue that could have caused an out of balance in the General ledger report. Previously, a debit and a credit posted to the same category sometimes showed incorrectly as a one sided entry.

Payroll

• Even easier final pays (Australia only)
  Previously, we released the ability to pay unused annual leave in an employee's final pay. Now, you can also pay unused long service leave for employees who are leaving voluntarily. More about final pays.
  

  

• Leave liability at a glance (New Zealand only)
  The new Leave liability report shows the estimated leave owing for employees at a specific date. This is super helpful to check what's owed to employees who are leaving or to see your company’s total leave liability. More about the leave liability report.
  

  

• Employee address now on pay slips (New Zealand only)
  Seeing the employee's address on their pay slip is a handy way to maintain accurate records. Both you and the employee can see at a glance what address you currently have on record for them.

  If you enable surcharging on your online payments, the 25c transaction fee will now also be passed on to your customers in addition to the 1.8% surcharge (excluding BPAY). Also, you can now exclude BPAY as a payment option, making online payments a cost-free option to your business. More about the changes to surcharging.
  

  

Banking

• Easier to identify bank feeds
  We've added a Reference column to the Bank transactions page to show the supplier invoice number or customer invoice number for your bank feed transactions. This makes it easier to identify the MYOB bill or invoice the transaction relates to.

• Smarter auto-matching
  We've improved bank feed automatic matching to use the bank transaction description to match with invoice numbers and customer names more intuitively. There's more improvements to matching coming in future releases – so watch this space.

• More options for connecting credit cards
  When you connect a credit card to MYOB, you can now link it to a liability category in your category list (chart of accounts).

• More reliable BNZ bank feeds (New Zealand only)

Payroll

  Within the first 30 days of moving from Xero (Payroll Only) to MYOB Business (Payroll Only), you'll have access to a handy migrator to bring across your employee information.

• Leave balances at a glance (New Zealand only)

Sales

• Easier to save and share quotes
  We've moved the save and share options in quotes to the top of the screen. This simplified layout helps get your quotes created and sent faster. More about quotes

  Personalise your invoices, quotes and statements even more with the ability to add your business's terms and conditions. You can now also upload multiple business logos and header images so you can choose different ones for different templates. More about personalising invoices

Avoid duplicate bills
If you're creating a bill manually or from an uploaded document, you'll now be warned if the Supplier invoice number has previously been used.

Two-factor authentication enhancements

Avoid getting locked out by setting up another 2FA method
Give yourself more options to sign in by setting up more than one 2FA method. For example, you could set up SMS 2FA on your phone and the 2FA authenticator app on a tablet. Then, if you don't have your phone handy and can't receive SMS, you can still get your 2FA code using the authenticator app on the tablet.

Reset 2FA without having to contact MYOB Support
Once you’ve set up another 2FA method, you’re able to change your 2FA settings yourself:

In the Account security section of My Account, you can easily change your 2FA phone number for SMS 2FA, re-link or change your authenticator app, or set up authenticator app on a new phone.

Payroll

Easier final pays (Australia only)
We're working on a new final pay feature and the first stage is here. There's a new pay cycle called Final pay, and when you choose this you'll be guided through the payment of unused annual leave.

Reports

New bank activity report
We've added the Bank activity report so you can see all transactions that have been allocated to bank or credit card accounts. All transactions are shown in the report regardless of how they've been entered.

This is handy if you haven't been using feeds or importing bank statements.

  MYOB Business remembers whether or not your invoice amounts are tax inclusive and whether you email a copy of the invoice to yourself. Next time you create an invoice, it will use the same settings.

• Duplicate or email an invoice from a locked period, without having to change lock date settings.

• Find your eInvoices quickly (Early adopters only)
  Filter by invoice type when viewing the Invoices page.

Reports

• Quickly see if you owe money to the ATO or IRD, or if you'll get a refund
  The GST Return report now shows Payment or Refund in the Total column.

• Know who owes you money and how much is due
  Expand the Receivables with tax report to see the transactions that make up each customer's balance, along with their ageing periods. Reconcile your receivables more easily using the Receivables account and Out of balance amounts.

• See who you owe money to and how much is due
  Expand the Payables with tax report to see the transactions that make up each supplier's balance, along with their ageing periods. Reconcile your payables more easily using the Payables account and Out of balance amounts.

Bug fixes

• Clicking Prefill from recurring in a receive money transaction now works as expected.

• The beginning and ending balances in the Balance Sheet, Profit & Loss and Cash Movement reports are now correct when viewing in cash mode.

• Each tax code in a consolidated tax code is now displayed separately in the GST report. This makes it easier to report these amounts to the ATO. (Australia only)

• If you changed the tax amount for a transaction before upgrading MYOB Essentials, or in the AccountRight desktop app, the correct amount of tax is now shown and the transaction is marked as read only. (Australia only) (MYOB Essentials upgraders) (AccountRight browser)
