Allocation rules take the effort out of allocating each and every bank transaction. Now you can see what percentage of your clients’ transactions over the past two months were automatically allocated for you.

Click the percentage to create allocation rules:

• For businesses using MYOB Business/MYOB Essentials businessesEssentials or MYOB Business: When you click the percentage, you can create allocation rules in MYOB BusinessEssentials/MYOB Essentials Business right away. Aim high — the more you automate, the less time you'll spend on low-value data-entry work and following up unallocated transactions.
• For businesses using MYOB AccountRight businesses: When you click the percentage, AccountRight will start (requires AccountRight Launcher). You'll need to sign in to the company file with your user ID and password. To create rules in AccountRight, go to the Banking command centre, click Bank Feeds, and then click Manage Rules. 

If a client doesn't have a bank feed, you can apply for one by clicking the Set up bank feeds link.

If transactions have been imported in a file (e.g. using a QIF file), you'll see the icon below the number of unallocated transactions — click it to set up a bank feed.

Learn about setting up bank feeds in MYOB Essentials, MYOB Business/the new MYOB Essentials, and /MYOB Business and MYOB AccountRight.

When a client needs to work without an internet connection, they'll check out their AccountRight file to a PC or device. That means the online copy of their file will become read-only.

You'll see a Checked out label next to the client's business name, to let you know the client is working offline.

When an AccountRight file is checked out, you can still launch it but you can't make changes to it.

The transaction status indicators won't reflect any changes the client has made while working offline, or any bank feed updates that have occurred until the file is checked in again.

You can assign tasks to clients straight from the Transaction processing page. For example, you might have a transaction query, or a checklist you want them to review. Simply select them in the list and then click Create task. And if you want to assign the exact same task to multiple clients, you can do that too. Just select them all and click Create task.

Note that the task will inherit the default “send as” and “notify” settings that are set up in each client’s portal.

For business using MYOB Business/MYOB Essentials businessesEssentials or MYOB Business, and AccountRight files (version 2018.1 and later), you can now see which months in your client files are locked.

This makes it easier to check that the periods you've reviewed and completed in your client files have been locked for editing. Locking a period you've reported to the ATO or IR is a great safeguard to ensuring the records are not changed accidentally. Learn about locked periods: MYOB AccountRight | MYOB Essentials (old) | MYOB Business/MYOB Essentials (new)/MYOB Business
