Not available in AccountRight BasicsWhen suppliers

email you their invoices, store them securely online and link them to your AccountRight bills using the In Tray. Once they’re in,  

If your company file is online, you can store your supplier bills securely in AccountRight's In Tray. If a bill is for a transaction you've recorded in AccountRight, you can link the bill to that transaction. Otherwise, when you add a bill to your In Tray, AccountRight will use advanced Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology to identify key information in each the document, speeding up transaction entry by filling in what it can for you.

Also learn how to attach documents to your cards or bills and spend money transactions.


And if you’re a bookkeeper or accountant, the source documents you need to review for each bill transaction are now just a click away. You no longer need to chase up clients to get copies of their supplier invoices for verification, and it’s easier to check that all their tax allocations are correct (making BAS and GST returns easier to prepare).

You can add documents up to 10MB in size to your In Tray, and in these formats: .PDF, .JPG, .JPEG, .TIFF, .TIF, and .PNG.

  3. Drag documents that are already on your computer directly into the In Tray window. Or, if a supplier emails you a bill, forward it using the email address that you log into my.MYOB with. Send the email to the following address and the bill will automatically appear in your In Tray:
  • (Australia) bills@accountright.myob.com.au  or
  • (New Zealand)bills@accountright.myob.co.nz

    If you have more than one company file associated with your my.MYOB account, you won’t be able to email documents to AccountRight. You will need to drag and drop the files directly into the In Tray (or you can drag an attachment from a Microsoft Outlook 2013 email window to your In Tray).

    Creating bills using In Tray documents

    If you haven’t had a chance to enter a bill transaction for a supplier invoice you’ve received, let AccountRight do the work for you.

    1. Ensure your file is online, and checked in (look for the green status bar at the bottom of your AccountRight window).
    2. Go to the Purchases window and click In Tray.
    3. If you haven’t already, add the document to the In Tray:
      • If you drag the document to the In Tray, or click Add Documents, you’ll see the upload status, and a blue icon to indicate we’re working on getting it ready for you.
      • If you email the document, it will appear in the In Tray after a minute or two.
      • If you take a picture of the document and send it to your In Tray using the MYOB Capture app, you might need to click the RefreshImage Added button to make the document appear.
    4. Select a document that’s ready to use (there’s no blue icon on the thumbnail), and click Create New Bill. If you can't see this button, click Switch Options to show it.
    5. A purchase window appears with a thumbnail of the document in the right corner of the window.

      AccountRight will use the following information

      that it is able

      to

      extract from the document to

      prepare a bill for you

      .
      For example, if the supplier has been identified (based on ABN in Australia, or GST Registration ID in New Zealand), it will be selected for you. Other details, like the bill date, the total amount and supplier’s invoice number, can all be filled in for you if we’ve been able to extract that information from the document. If the supplier’s ABN (Australia) / GST Registration ID (New Zealand) is identified, it will be added to the supplier’s card for you if it’s not already there. For ABNs, we’ll also check to see if it’s a valid number.

    titleWhy doesn't prefilling of fields work for some documents I add?

    Why doesn't prefilling of fields work for some documents I add?

    Ensure that the text print on your documents is clear and sharp. If you’re adding scanned documents, try increasing the scan resolution or the darkness if it’s too light. We’re continuing to tweak the OCR feature so that it can recognise more characters and fonts, so you can expect it to get better over time.

     

    When emailing documents, how do you know which company file the document should be added to?
    We use the “From:” email address that you use to send bills to determine which company file the document should be added to. So ensure you send bills using the email address that you use when logging into AccountRight to access your online file.

    If you have access to more than one company file (whether you own the file, or have accepted an invitation to access someone else’s file) you won’t be able to email documents.

     

    Is there a size or page limit per document?
    While there’s no page limit, you can add documents up to 10MB in size. Note that files this size will take some time to upload and to be accessible from AccountRight.

     

    How can I see which bills have documents linked to them?
    You can see which bills have a linked document in the Purchases Register (accessible from the Purchases command centre). Look for the document icon.

     

    How are documents sorted in the In Tray?
    In Tray documents are sorted by the date they were added.

     

    Can I view documents when I’m working offline, or checked out?
    No, you can’t access the In Tray or view linked documents if the file is checked out (offline).
