Once your bank transactions have come in, you will need to allocate each transaction on the View and match transactions page to one of your MYOB Essentials Cashbook accounts. You can automate this process by creating allocation rules.
Transactions can be allocated to more than one account by splitting them. For example, if you receive a joint electricity and gas bill, you should split the transaction and allocate the correct amounts to your electricity and gas accounts.
Checking automatically matched transactions
MYOB Essentials Cashbook will use any allocation rules you’ve set up to automatically allocate transactions to your accounts. You can check it to confirm that the allocation is correct, and re-allocate the transaction if necessary.
