Each month we release improvements, new features and bug fixes to MYOB Business. Listed below are releases from previous months. If you want to find out about more recent releases, see what's new in MYOB Business.
2025
October 2025
MYOB Assist mobile app
Australia only
We're refining the app to make it even easier to use:
Introducing Service invoices
If your business provides services rather than products, you can now choose a Service layout when creating an invoice. This layout is designed for service-based work, where you bill for time, labour, or descriptions of work instead of items or quantities. These invoices are editable within AccountRight browser and MYOB Business.
Set your default invoice layout (Services or Services & Items) from the More menu.
(Online invoicing users) Send invoices with a payment link via SMS
If you use online payments, you can now send your customers a secure payment link by SMS — not just a PDF attachment. This makes it easier for customers to view and pay directly from their phone. You can send the SMS from the Save menu or by turning on the SMS option when emailing an invoice.
Automatically open your last business file
Save time every time you log in — the app now remembers the last business file you used and opens it automatically. If you usually work from one business file, you no longer need to select it from the list each time you sign in. Just select Open last business on login on the Switch business page, and each time you log in, you’ll go straight into the business file you last used.
You can still switch files anytime from More > Switch business..
MYOB Business bug fixes
We fixed an issue that could cause errors and poor performance when categorising transactions on the Bank transactions page.
We fixed a bug that could result in duplicate transactions when bank transfers are automatically matched.
September
The MYOB Assist mobile app is here (Australia)
This app is now live in Australia and replaces the existing MYOB Capture and Invoice apps. MYOB Assist helps you to unlock better cash flow. With the new app, you can:
Capture expenses – snap a photo of a bill or receipt and send it straight to your MYOB Business Uploads (or the In Tray for online AccountRight files). Capture single or multi-page documents (up to 20 pages), ready for uploading.
Create invoices – create, edit and send professional invoices in just a few taps – all synced in real-time with your online company file.
Banking
Smarter suggestions
We've improved the suggested matches on the Bank transactions page to make it quicker and easier to match your invoices and bills. MYOB Business now looks for full names in transaction descriptions, not just parts of names, so you get more accurate suggestions.
Improved auto-matching
Auto-matching no longer happens if the date of an MYOB transaction is later than the bank transaction date. Instead, you'll now see a suggestion.
Faster transaction allocation
We've made some performance improvements so that you can allocate transactions line by line faster using hot keys or moving quickly down the page.
Less clutter
We've removed some annoying success messages from the Bank transactions page so you can work with fewer disruptions.
August
Payroll (Australia)
See jobs in past pay runs
When you look at an employee's previous pay, you'll now see if any jobs were assigned and the job allocation.
Banking (New Zealand)
Quicker setup of BNZ bank feeds
BNZ improved how their bank and credit card accounts connect to MYOB. This means you can now connect a BNZ account to MYOB Business faster by applying online. Previously you needed to fill in and submit an application form. Connect a BNZ account
July
Banking
Save time with a smarter Bank transactions page
We’re gradually rolling out changes to the Bank transactions page to make matching faster, smarter and less manual. If you don’t see these changes yet, they’re not far away:
Category suggestions save you time and guesswork MYOB Business uses artificial intelligence to learn from how you previously matched a transaction to a category to suggest a matching category the next time a similar transaction comes in. This saves you from searching for a category to match it to.
You can accept the suggestion with one click (or easily choose another category from the list).
When you accept a category, MYOB Business creates the matching transaction record for you.
Simpler teminology With the introduction of category suggestions, we’ve replaced ‘categorising’ with ‘matching’. Now, you match bank transactions to a category.
Better searching We’ve simplified and improved the search filters. Use the Not matched filter to show all bank transactions waiting to be matched. You can also filter the transaction list by suggestions, automatches, or transaction types.
These changes are still being rolled out to all businesses, but here's how you work with the new design.
More reliable bank feed delivery times
The daily delivery of transactions from your connected bank accounts now happens by 11am each morning (Melbourne time). This gives you up-to-date banking data sooner, so you (or your automated bank rules) can take care of matching and categorising earlier.
June
Payroll
Reminder: Helping you stay compliant for the 25/26 payroll year (Australia only)
As we mentioned last month, we've taken care of all these changes for the 2025/26 payroll year:
Tax tables – the 2025/26 tax tables have been automatically updated and will apply for pays dated 1 July 2025 onwards. You'll see the new tax table date in your General payroll information after processing your first July pay (settings (⚙️) menu > Payroll settings > General payroll information tab).
Super rate increase to 12% – the super guarantee rate has gone up to 12% from 1 July, but there's an easy way to make sure this increase happens automatically.
Lump sum E threshold removal – From 1 July, any payment of back pay is considered a lump sum E. Previously this only applied to back pay exceeding $1200.
Undo manual changes to pay history (Australia only)
An employee's pay history shows what they've been paid in pay runs, so should never be tampered with. We've added the ability to Undo manual changes in an employee's Pay history to easily remove any changes that have been entered manually (maybe trying to fix a pay). Previously you needed to contact us for help to undo these changes.
New workers compensation report (Australia only)
We're adding a new report that helps prepare wage estimates and declarations required by workers compensation providers. Use the report to generate the payroll information needed when starting or renewing a workers compensation policy. You'll find the report via the Reporting menu > Reports > Payroll tab.
Account management
Easier MYOB account update processes
We've made it easier to update the relationship your business has with MYOB, whether you want to:
Clearer change of details forms and help topics guide you through what to do and what supporting documents you may need to provide.
Bug fixes
We fixed a bug that was preventing the tax amount from showing on general journal transactions in the General ledger report.
May
Payroll
Upload employee documents to stay organised
Store documents, like contracts, licences or certificates, in MYOB Business. This keeps all your employee information safely stored in one place where it's easily accessible. More about storing documents
Helping you stay compliant for the 25/26 payroll year (Australia only)
We've got you covered this EOFY by taking care of all these changes for the 2025/26 payroll year:
Tax tables – the 2025/26 tax tables have been automatically updated and will apply for pays dated 1 July 2025 onwards. You'll see the new tax table date in your General payroll information after processing your first July pay (settings (⚙️) menu > Payroll settings > General payroll information tab).
Super rate increase to 12% – the super guarantee rate goes up to 12% from 1 July, but there's an easy way to make sure this increase happens automatically.
Lump sum E threshold removal – From 1 July, any payment of back pay is considered a lump sum E. Previously this only applied to back pay exceeding $1200.
Improved compliance for self-managed super funds (Australia only)
To pay contributions to a self-managed super fund (SMSF) from MYOB, your STP reports must have been successfully accepted by the ATO. This confirms your business is verified with the ATO and helps ensure SMSF payments are only made by legitimate, registered employers.
Banking
More matches, less admin with smart transaction matching (Early Access Program)
An early access program (EAP) has been launched for changes to the Bank transactions page to make matching faster, smarter and far less manual. A small cohort has been added to the EAP to try this new feature before it's rolled out to everyone.
AI smart-matching – AI will automatically suggest the best match for existing MYOB records or categories. If there's more than one suggestion, select a match, or multiple, from a list of suggestions. AI predictive learning means matching will improve over time based on your behaviour.
"Categorised" is now "matched" – We've simplified how we talk about matching. Bank transactions are now matched to an existing MYOB transaction or matched to a category.
Bug fixes
We fixed a bug that was preventing some users from seeing the dashboard. Previously, users with the Purchases, Banking or Contacts roles were seeing an error stating "You don't have permission to access this page."
April
Payroll
Simplifying STP compliance (Australia only)
When you create a new MYOB Business file, the ATO Reporting Category is now set for you in these pay items:
Base Hourly
Base Salary
Annual Leave Pay
Personal Leave Pay
Overtime (1.5)
Overtime (2x)
This speeds up STP setup and prevents these payments from being reported incorrectly to the ATO.
Helping you stay compliant with super calculations (Australia only)
When you set up a new type of wage payment, like a new allowance, there's a new option to exclude those payments from super guarantee calculations. To help you choose, there's some handy info – just click the blue question mark.
No longer lose a draft pay run when you update an employee (New Zealand only)
If you save changes to an employee who's included in a saved (draft) pay run, the draft pay run is no longer deleted. Instead, after saving the changes (which won't be reflected in the draft pay run), you'll see a message that explains it. It's then up to you whether you continue the draft pay run or create a new one. More about saving and resuming pay runs
Performance improvements
Smarter handling of uploaded documents
We're improving the Optical Character Recognition (OCR) that scans uploaded invoices and receipts to create new bills in MYOB Business. This improves the accuracy and processing times for uploads.
A fresh new colour
We've tweaked the purple colour you'll see in our logo and on images and buttons throughout MYOB Business.
March
Payroll
Helping you stay compliant for the 25/26 payroll year (New Zealand only)
We've updated the required rates and thresholds to keep you in the good books with Inland Revenue (and your employees) for the new payroll year. There's a change to the way extra payments are taxed – and we look after this for you too. See what's changed from 1 April.
More flexible pay distribution (New Zealand only)
You can now split an employee's pay across up to three bank accounts. This gives your employees more control over their funds. An employee can choose to split their pay by amount or percentage and they'll see the split on their pay slip. More about splitting pays.
Sales
Quicker access to online payment settings (Australia only)
Online payments in a popular feature that helps you get paid faster. So we've moved the online payment settings from the bottom to the top of the Payments tab in your Sales settings. This makes it easier to set up and manage online payments. More about online payments
Easier to identify different types of sales
AccountRight browser only
We released this for MYOB Business Pro and Lite last December and it's now available for AccountRight users accessing their online file in a browser. You can set up a different prefix and numbering sequence for your invoices, quotes and sales orders.
Bug fixes
We fixed an issue in the Job profit and loss report that was causing the error "Failed to load the report".
February
Payroll
Helping you stay compliant with Single Touch Payroll Phase 2 (Australia only)
STP Phase 1 was switched off 27 February. So, if you haven't switched to STP Phase 2, you need to do so now to continue reporting to the ATO. How to move
See outstanding PAYG withholding at a glance (Australia only)
There's a new widget on the dashboard that shows how much PAYG tax you've withheld from employee pays. This handy snapshot means you no longer need to go searching for this info when it's time to lodge your BAS.
Suppliers
Wise bank account numbers are now supported for suppliers (New Zealand only)
You can now enter a Wise bank account number in the supplier's contact record.
Invoicing
Get paid faster

January
Payroll
Quicker employee setup (New Zealand only)
If your business is set up for payday filing, new employee details are now automatically sent to Inland Revenue. This means you no longer have to also set up new employees in your myIR portal. There's a new tab in the Payday filing page to see your employee submissions. More about sending employee details to IR.
Security
Helpful nudge in reports before screen locks saves you having to sign back in
Five minutes before the inactivity screen lock, a message will appear at the top of any report you have open. This gives you a chance to resume working before the screen locks.
Banking
Helping you keep bank details up to date
You'll now see reminders in the Banking hub if any details are missing for your bank accounts, like the financial institution. This helps to keep your account details up to date and provides better visibility of your bank accounts in the one place.

Store more details about your bank accounts
When you create a new category that is a bank account type, you can now indicate what the account is for, like a savings account, and the financial institution. If you haven't entered these details for a bank account, you'll see a reminder in the Banking hub.
November
Security
Keeping your data safe when you're not around
Online data security is a big deal – so after 20-30 minutes of inactivity in MYOB Business, the screen will lock and become blurred. This prevents unauthorised access (and prying eyes) from your valuable business data. To keep working, just sign back in. More about the inactivity screen lock
Banking
One-stop shop for staying on top of your banking
The Banking hub is your starting point to make sure that your books reflect what's really going on in your accounts. Connect a bank account, manage your bank feeds and see if there are any bank transactions you need to categorise. This replaces the Manage bank accounts page. More about the Banking hub
Smarter auto-matching of refunds
If you give or receive a refund from a customer or supplier, the bank transaction will now be automatically matched to the relevant MYOB Business transaction.
October
Payroll
Helping you stay compliant with Single Touch Payroll Phase 2
If you still report payroll using Single Touch Payroll Phase 1, you'll receive a reminder that STP Phase 1 is being retired and you'll need to move to STP Phase 2, including a link for more information:
Banking
Smarter auto-matching of supplier bills
We've improved bank feed automatic matching to use the supplier invoice number in the bank transaction description to match the supplier invoice number entered in the bill payment in MYOB.
Business logo on new files
Making sure your new business file reflects your brand
You're now prompted to add your business logo via settings (⚙️) > Business settings > Brand settings when you start using a new MYOB Business file. This lets you communicate your brand and business details on your invoices, quotes and statements as well as brand your business reports. More about uploading a logo to represent your brand
Usability improvements
Sensible default when creating a new supplier
When you create a new supplier, the option to designate them as a Company or Individual is now selected as Company by default. This reflects that most suppliers are companies.
Bug fixes
Fixed an issue that prevented all lines in a general journal transaction appearing as possible matches in the Bank transaction page > Match transaction tab.
When you select Budget as a report option in the Profit and loss report, the figures in the Budget column are now aligned.
September
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
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
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.
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.
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.
August
Payroll
Even easier final pays
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.
Sales
More invoice customisation
Change the appearance of your invoices by hiding columns, changing the column headings and adjusting the display order. More about customising invoices.
More flexible surcharging with online payments
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).
Bug fixes
We fixed an issue that was causing superannuation transactions to appear doubled up on the Find transactions page
Users who are only assigned the Contacts role will no longer see the ‘Something went wrong' error when signing in.
Because of an issue preventing editing of the Tax code column heading is sales templates, we've turned off the ability to edit that column heading.
July
Payroll
Helping you move from Xero 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.

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
More sales template customisation options
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.
Banking
Faster bank transaction categorising
As you're categorising transactions, you can now refresh the Bank transactions page. This reduces the clutter by removing the transactions you've categorised, and leaving the ones you need to focus on.
June
Payroll
Keeping you compliant for the new payroll year
The tax tables have been automatically updated and will apply for pays dated 1 July 2024 onwards. After processing your first July pay, you'll see the new tax table date via the settings (⚙️) menu > Payroll settings.
Helping you automate the super rate increase
The super guarantee rate increased to 11.5% on 1 July 2024. Any super guarantee pay items with the calculation basis set to Minimum required rate will be automatically updated to 11.5% when you do your first pay with a payment date on or after 1 July 2024.
Easier Fair Work compliance
If your business isn't covered by the Fair Work System, you can now choose to prevent new employees being provided the Fair Work Information Statement when you invite them to self-onboard. You'll find this preference via the settings (⚙️) menu > Payroll settings.
Helping you set a default super fund
When you send a request to an employee to enter or check their details and you haven't set a default superannuation fund in MYOB Business, you'll be prompted to do so.
Sales
Easier to save and share invoices
We've moved the save and share options in invoices to the top of the screen. This simplified layout helps get your invoices created and sent faster.
May
New vertical menu and simplified language
We've moved the menu to the side and used simpler labels to make it easier to find your way around. We've also replaced a lot of technical terms with more familiar words. Discover all the changes.
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
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. Initially this is just for employees who are leaving voluntarily, but we'll add other final payment types, like unused long service leave, in future releases.
Bug fixes
In the Balance sheet report, if you click to view a category's transactions, the report date range is now remembered. Previously the transaction list was being dated from the first day of the current month – which may have resulted in no transactions showing.
In the General ledger report, inventory adjustments now show both the debit and credit amounts against the inventory asset account.
When submitting a request to self-onboard an employee, the Provide access to employee benefits option now only shows if you're not already signed up for employee benefits.
April
Payroll
Helping you stay compliant
When you add an employee, you'll now choose if they're permanent or temporary (which includes fixed-term roles). This ensures temp employees are provided the correct Fair Work Information Statement when they self-onboard or check their details.
Sales
Customise what you see in your invoice and quote lists
Use the new Column options button to show, hide and rearrange columns. Each user can save their own view so it's remembered each time they go to these pages.
Banking
Do more from the Bank transactions page
Many common banking functions, like Import statement and Bank rules, are now available from a quick access menu. Click the ellipsis button (...) to quickly access these tasks from the one place. We've also decluttered the page by moving the Reconcile account button to the top-right corner next to the quick access menu.
March
Payroll
Get new employees to check their details
If you've manually set up an employee, or an employee wants to update some details, you can now send them a secure request to review or update their details. Just click Request employee details in the employee's record. Any updates they make will be sent straight into your MYOB Business file. See how it works
Quicker access to super features
We've added a shortcut menu to the Super payments page for handy access to common things, like your employee list and pay super settings. Look for the ellipsis button (...) next to the Create super payment button.

Clearer BAS processes
When you prepare your BAS, you'll see we've renamed Finalise to Save at the end. There's now also a clear message that reminds you to lodge the BAS. Also, during the BAS process you'll now see links to view or edit transactions so you can easily check or change things when preparing the reports.
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 compared to the Bank transaction report, which only shows bank transactions entered via bank feeds or imported bank statements. This is handy if you haven't been using feeds or importing bank statements.
Spend less time filtering reports
We've improved filtering in reports so that the filters you choose are remembered in each report. The filters in one report won't affect the filters in another.
When you open the following reports for the first time, the filters are now set to the most commonly used settings, but you can change them if you like, and they'll be remembered:
Account list
Bank transaction report
Coding report
Bank reconciliation report
Statement of cash flow
Cash movement
Category general ledger
Sales
Attach files to sales
You can now attach PDF, TIFF, JPEG or PNG files to the Attachment section of invoices, sales orders, or quotes. Attached files are included if you email the sale.

If you want to search the help, there's also a link at the bottom of the results.
More help where and when you need it
We've added clickable help links in places where you might need more information, such as fixing a pay or an out of balance reconciliation. Look for the blue links with question marks.
Better guidance when editing the ABN tax code
We've added some text to explain the implications of changing Account for Withholding credits and Account for Withholding Payables for the ABN tax code.
Reports
Retain preferred filters on the Coding and Accounts list reports
When you change the filters on the Coding and Accounts list reports, they're now remembered for next time and not impacted by other report filters.

When inviting an employee to self-onboard, you can give them access to employee benefits. You won't see this option if you've already set up employee benefits.
Helping you stay Fair Work compliant

Banking
Quicker access to the Bank reconciliation report
When you reconcile an account, you're now prompted to export the Bank reconciliation report from the Bank reconciliation page. Previously, you had to manually run the report and set the filters for the account you just reconciled.
Bug fixes
The GST Return summary now correctly omits the cents rather than rounding up or down to the nearest dollar. This is in line with ATO requirements.
The correct accounting method is now shown when viewing, printing or exporting the GST return report.
October
Dashboard
The new Dashboard is back
The revamped version of the MYOB Business Dashboard is being re-introduced, after being improved to address performance. See what's new.

You'll now find each employee's pay slips on the new Pay slips tab in their employee record. This makes it easier to find, view, print or email their pay slips – all from one place.
Reports
View and print with one click
We've added a View and print button to reports to generate a PDF with a single click.
More meaningful PDF file names
Reports exported as PDFs now have a more meaningful name that include your business name and the report name, like My business Pty Ltd - ProfitAndLossReport.pdf
Choose your PAYG Withholding reporting frequency

2025
2025.10 (November 2025)
2025.10.1.5 - released 26 November
This patch fixes an issue that was preventing auto-attachments (other than PDFs) from being opened when emailed with sales transactions.
Document attachments, tracked and stored in AccountRight desktop
You can now:
Attach documents to sales and journals
You've always been able to attach documents to bills. You'll now be able to attach documents to sales transactions (quotes, orders, invoices) and general journals. This keeps your documents in one handy, secure space, helping you to meet your record-keeping requirements.Auto-include attachments when emailing a sale
By default, all documents attached to a sales transaction will be included if you email the sale, but you can remove them if you like.Email multiple documents
Attach multiple documents to a sale quote, order, invoice, or purchase bill email (up to 25MB). This means you can include things like an updated price list or promotional material when sending an invoice.
See how easy it is to send attachments when you email a sale:
More about attaching documents
MYOB Assist mobile app
We're refining the app to make it even easier to use. You can now:
Introducing Service invoices
If your business provides services rather than products, you can now choose a Service layout when creating an invoice. This layout is designed for service-based work, where you bill for time, labour, or descriptions of work instead of items or quantities. These invoices are editable within AccountRight desktop and MYOB Business.
Set your default invoice layout (Services or Services & Items) from the More menu.
(Online invoicing users) Send invoices with a payment link via SMS
If you use online payments, you can now send your customers a secure payment link by SMS — not just a PDF attachment. This makes it easier for customers to view and pay directly from their phone. You can send the SMS from the Save menu or by turning on the SMS option when emailing an invoice.
Automatically open your last business file
Save time every time you log in — the app now remembers the last business file you used and opens it automatically. If you usually work from one business file, you no longer need to select it from the list each time you sign in. Just select Open last business on login on the Switch business page, and each time you log in, you’ll go straight into the business file you last used.
You can still switch files anytime from More > Switch business..
AccountRight Bug fixes
Resolved a bug that resulted in an information icon appearing next to Total Received in the Receive Payments window.
Fixed a crash that could occur during bank reconciliation or in purchase transactions.
Coming soon...
You’ll soon be able to create, send, and manage quotes on the go in the MYOB Assist app — using the same Services and Services & Items layouts available in MYOB Business. This makes it easier for you to start a job in the field, send a quote straight from your phone, and turn it into an invoice when the work’s approved — all without leaving the app.
2025.9 (October 2025)
MYOB Assist mobile app
Capture multipage documents
When you take a photo of an invoice or receipt, you now have the option to capture up to 20 additional pages.
Already have the app? Depending on your phone settings, you may need to redownload the latest version of MYOB Assist to get this update (version 1.1.1).
Bug fixes
We fixed an issue that caused AccountRight to crash when removing an attachment from an invoice. This only affected those on the early access program for document attachments.
Coming soon
Document attachments
Document attachments are now available for early adopters and will be generally available soon. This means you'll be able to:
Attach documents to sales and journals
You've always been able to attach documents to bills. We're getting ready to switch on the ability to add attachments to sales transactions (invoices, quotes, sales orders) and general journals. This keeps your documents in one handy, secure space, helping you to meet your record-keeping requirements.Auto-include attachments when emailing a sale
By default, all documents attached to a sales transaction will be included if you email the sale – but you can remove them if you like.Email multiple documents
You'll soon be able to attach multiple documents to a sale or purchase email (up to 25MB). This means you'll be able to include things like an updated price list or promotional material when sending an invoice.
MYOB Assist
In the MYOB Assist app, you'll soon be able to:
Get paid faster by sending an invoice link via SMS (only available if you're using online payments): Send a customer a link to their invoice via SMS directly from MYOB Assist. The link opens the secure online invoice, giving customers a fast checkout experience and helping you get paid sooner.

2025.8 (September 2025)
2025.8.1.14 – released 29 September
This patch fixes an issue we found in the previous patch. Early access participants can now attach documents to sales and general journals, and email documents directly from quotes, invoices and sales orders. Check out the ‘Coming soon’ section below for more details.

Attaching documents to sales and journals
You've always been able to attach documents to bills. We're getting ready to switch on the ability to add attachments to sales transactions (invoices, quotes, sales orders) and general journals.

Bug fixes
We fixed a bug that caused AccountRight to crash when sending emails.
If you create an invoice via a third-party app and no payment settings are specified by the app, your default payment settings will now apply on the invoice
Under the hood
We're always working on things behind the scenes that you might not see (or might not see yet), but lead to new time-saving features, better security, or improved performance. Here are some examples:
Attaching documents to sales transactions
You've always been able to attach documents to bills. Soon, you'll also be able to attach documents to your sales transactions, such as invoices, sales orders and quotes.MYOB App is coming for online company files
Send invoices and upload images of purchase receipts, anywhere, anytime on your phone with this handy new mobile app. Data will be synced in real-time with your online company file. The app is currently part of an early access program.
2025.6 (July 2025)
Account management
Easier MYOB account update processes
We've made it easier to update the relationship your business has with MYOB, whether you want to:
Clearer change of details forms and help topics guide you through what to do and what supporting documents you may need to provide.
Bug fixes
We fixed a crash that could occur when working in the Find Transactions window.
If you upload a document to the browser and then link it to a transaction, the count of documents in the In Tray shortcut in the Banking or Purchases command centres now updates correctly.
We fixed an issue that was causing some buttons to be obscured in transaction windows.
We fixed some crashes that could occur when emailing or printing from AccountRight.
We've removed the Prepare Payment Summaries option from the Payroll command centre menu. With Single Touch Payroll, there is no longer a need to prepare payment summaries.
API improvements
We fixed a discrepancy between AccountRight and the Public API when reporting inventory values involving received items. The current value and average cost calculations are now the same between the two systems.
2025.5 (June 2025)
Payroll
Helping you stay compliant for the 25/26 payroll year (Australia only)
We've got you covered this EOFY by taking care of all these changes for the 2025/26 payroll year:
Tax tables – the 2025/26 tax tables have been automatically updated and will apply for pays dated 1 July 2025 onwards. You'll see the new tax table date when you do a pay dated 1 July or later.
Super rate increase to 12% – the super guarantee rate goes up to 12% from 1 July, but there's an easy way to automate super rate increases.
Lump sum E threshold removal – From 1 July, any payment of back pay is considered a lump sum E. Previously this only applied to back pay exceeding $1200. More about lump sum E payments
Undo manual changes to pay history (Australia only)
An employee's pay history shows what they've been paid in pay runs, so should never be tampered with. We've added an Undo Manual Changes button to the Pay History to easily undo any changes that have been entered manually (maybe trying to fix a pay). Previously you needed to contact us for help to undo these changes.
Bug fixes
We fixed a bug that was affecting some users where the count of In Tray documents on the command centre was inaccurate.
We fixed some crashes that could occur when starting AccountRight or switching between the Banking, Sales and Purchases command centres.
(AccountRight Basics only) You'll no longer see an arrow temporarily appear above the Spend Money button on the Banking command centre.
The Print/Email Statements button no longer temporarily appears too narrow on the Sales command centre.
The Help button in offline company files no longer flickers when you hover over it.
We fixed a visual glitch that could occur on disabled shortcut tiles on the command centre. Previously, if a tile was disabled for a user, a small portion of the tile appeared to be clickable, but clicking it did nothing.
Field validation error messages now display correctly.
Under the hood
We're always working on things behind the scenes that you might not see (or might not see yet), but lead to new time-saving features, better security, or improved performance. Here's an example:
If you access your company file in a web browser, an early access program (EAP) has been launched for changes to the Bank transactions page to make matching faster, smarter and far less manual. A small cohort has been added to the EAP to try this new feature before it's rolled out to everyone. More about this EAP
2025.4 (May 2025)
2025.4.1 – released 28 May
This patch includes these improvements:
-
Scroll bars now display when needed if a command centre is maximised.
-
The command centre window has been returned to its original size, so all buttons show properly when using the recommended display settings.
-
The Print/Email Remittance Advices buttons on the Banking and Purchases command centres have been simplified to Send Remittance Advice.
And these bug fixes:
-
We fixed an issue that could cause AccountRight to crash in a few places, including the Find Transactions window.
-
The command centre shortcut tiles now display correctly after they've been clicked for the first time.
If you're having any issues with the command centre, see our support page or book a one-on-one call with our team.
Refreshed command centre (online company files only)
A sleek new look
We've modernised the look for online files but kept the same layout – so there's no change to how you work. The order and placement of the buttons is the same, so you'll still find what you need in the same place.
You won't see these changes in offline company files or backups restored locally or in a network.
Get things done faster
Instead of wondering where to look or what needs attention, you'll now see important updates and tasks at the top of each command centre. This lets you take action without spending time clicking through different screens. If you've taken action, use the refresh button to update the numbers.
Instantly access key info and tasks
No more digging through menus to find key reports or complete a common task. The information you need has been brought to the front, just one click away.
Payroll
Helping you stay compliant with self-managed super funds (Australia only)
To pay contributions to a self-managed super fund (SMSF) from AccountRight, your STP reports must have been successfully accepted by the ATO. This confirms your business is verified with the ATO and helps ensure SMSF payments are only made by legitimate, registered employers.
Bug fixes
We fixed an issue that was preventing the File menu from displaying for some users.
Negative amounts can now be used in general journal entries.
If you use online payments in New Zealand, you'll now see the appropriate payment icons in invoices (Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay and Google Pay).
When you email a recurring sale from the To Do List, the email variables now work correctly.
Under the hood
We're always working on things behind the scenes that you might not see (or might not see yet), but lead to new time-saving features, better security, or improved performance. Here's an example:
Trying to fix an employee's pay (in Australia) by tinkering with their pay history causes reporting issues and requires a complex resolution. Not ideal – especially at EOFY. (The right way to adjust pay amounts is through a pay run). So we're adding a button to undo manual pay history changes. This means if you've incorrectly changed an employee's pay history, you'll be able to fix it with one click, without needing tech support.
2025.3 (April 2025)
Payroll
Simplifying STP compliance (Australia only)
When you create a new company file, the ATO Reporting Category is now set for you in these payroll categories:
Base Hourly
Base Salary
Annual Leave Pay
Personal Leave Pay
Overtime (1.5)
Overtime (2x)
This speeds up the STP setup and prevents these payments being reported incorrectly to the ATO.
Bug fixes
The <Tab> key now works properly in the Date field when entering transaction lines in some sales and purchases.
AccountRight no longer crashes when recording an invoice from the To Do List or a recurring transaction.
We fixed an issue in sales numbering that could result in the 13 character limit being exceeded.
Under the hood
We're always working on things behind the scenes that you might not see (or might not see yet), but lead to new time-saving features, better security, or improved performance. Here's an example:
Trying to fix an employee's pay (in Australia) by tinkering with their pay history causes reporting issues and requires a complex resolution. Not ideal – especially at EOFY.

2025.2 (March 2025)
2025.2.1.15 – released 31 March
This patch fixes a couple of display issues that affect a small number of early adopters in the Command Centre uplift project:
-
(Server Edition users) The Command Centre now displays correctly
-
Command Centre height and width have been updated for improved accessibility.
Sales
Easier to identify different types of sale
You can set up a different prefix and numbering sequence for your invoices, quotes and sales orders.
Banking
Smarter matching of transfer money transactions
AccountRight bank feeds now uses the bank description, amount and date to help identify and match money transferred between accounts, reducing the need to find and match transactions manually.
Bug fixes
Online payments settings are now remembered when you copy or use a recurring invoice.
We fixed a couple of appearance issues. Command centres are now aligned correctly when AccountRight is maximised. Also, we’ve made the appearance neater by matching the border colour to the command centre background.
Under the hood
We're always working on things behind the scenes that you might not see (or might not see yet), but lead to new time-saving features, better security, or improved performance. Here's an example:
AccountRight Command Centre is receiving an uplift to make it easier for you to see what tasks are up next and help you get to where you need to go with fewer clicks. The early access program will be starting shortly for a limited number of customers.
2025.1 (February 2025)
Payroll
Helping you stay compliant with Single Touch Payroll Phase 2 (Australia only)
STP Phase 1 will be switched off 27 February. So, if you haven't switched to STP Phase 2, you need to do so now to continue reporting to the ATO. How to move
Suppliers
Wise bank account numbers are now supported for suppliers (New Zealand only)
You can now enter a Wise bank account number in the Payment Details tab of a supplier card.
Usability improvements
If you sort company files in the Library Browser window by clicking the Version column, the company files are now sorted correctly.
(Online Payments, Australia only) You can now enable or disable BPAY payments on recurring invoices.
Bug fixes
We fixed an issue that could cause AccountRight to crash when you close the Library Browser window.
Under the hood
We're always working on things behind the scenes that you might not see (or might not see yet), but lead to new time-saving features, better security, or improved performance. Here's an example:
We'll be making it easier to identify different types of sales transactions by giving you the ability to set up a different prefix and numbering sequence for your invoices, quotes, and sales orders.
2024
2024.11 (December 2024)
Version 2024.11.1 – released 7 January
This patch fixes a bug that caused a crash for some users when they clicked the Sales Register in the Sales command centre.
Payroll
Helping you stay compliant with Single Touch Payroll Phase 2 (Australia only)
If you still report payroll using Single Touch Payroll (STP) Phase 1, you'll receive a reminder that STP Phase 1 is being retired and you'll need to move to STP Phase 2, including a link for more information:
Why you need to move to STP Phase 2
Banking
Smarter matching of transfer money transactions
To be available shortly after the release of 2024.11
AccountRight bank feeds now uses the bank description, amount and date to help identify and match money transferred between accounts, reducing the need to find and match transactions manually.
Bug fixes
We've fixed a bug that caused AccountRight to crash when you tried to delete an online payment. You're now prompted to delete the associated fee transaction first.
2024.10 (November 2024)
Version 2024.10.1 – released 21 November
This patch fixes two bugs that:
-
prevented emailing remittance advices in bulk after making selections in the Advanced Filters window
-
resulted in users having to complete a 2FA check every time they opened AccountRight (2FA checks are only required at least once every 24 hours when you're working in AccountRight).
Online company file usability improvements
Easier access to online company files
As most AccountRight users work with online company files, we’ve made it simpler to open them. The sign-in for online company files is now the first option you’ll see in the Open a company file window:
Online company file options are also now the first options you’ll see when you create a new company file, restore a backup file or upgrade a file:
Bug fixes
When you try to open a company file that was created in a decommissioned version of AccountRight, you're now prompted to upgrade it to the current version.
(Online payments) Surcharging is now correctly selected on invoices created from a recurring invoice template.
Fixed an issue that sometimes prevented the Easy Add button from appearing from the Supplier list when entering a purchase.
2024.9 (October 2024)
Payroll (Australia only)
More control when updating hourly employees
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.
Helping you stay STP compliant
If you're still reporting to the ATO via STP Phase 1, when you start a pay run you'll now see a helpful reminder to move to STP Phase 2. Support for Phase 1 is ending soon and you'll need to make the move to continue reporting your pays – and avoid an ATO fine. Make the move to STP Phase 2.
Banking
Smarter automatic matching of supplier bills
AccountRight bank feeds now uses supplier names and invoice numbers to make automatic matching more efficient and accurate, further reducing the need to manually match transactions.
Under the hood
We're always working on things behind the scenes that you might not see, but lead to new time-saving features, better security, or improved performance. Here's an example:
From next month, all AccountRight users* will have access to Priority Support. This gives you access to priority phone support and 1 to 1 bookings with a dedicated team member, so you can get the help you need faster. You'll be able to access Priority Support by quoting your Client ID when calling support, or book a time in My Account.
*This is available to AccountRight Plus and Premier customers paying directly only. Customers paying via their accountants or bookkeepers will continue to have access to our exclusive partner support team.
2024.8 (September 2024)
Helping you stay compliant with super guarantee rules
The ATO requires every business to have a default super fund. If you don't have one set in AccountRight, when you send a new employee a self-onboarding request you'll now see a more prominent message to set your default super fund.
This feature was released 3 September 2024.
Bug fixes
We fixed an issue that prevented bank transactions showing in the Bank Feeds window.
API improvements
When you rename custom Price Levels in AccountRight, the updated names can now be retrieved through our Public API. We've built a new endpoint for customised price list names, allowing third-party developers to access this information directly. Find out more at the API support centre
Under the hood
We're always working on things behind the scenes that you might not see, but lead to new time-saving features, better security, or improved performance. Here's an example:
We’re working on a message to prompt you to either keep an employee’s current Standard Pay hours or revert them to the default hours per pay frequency when you change their pay rate or frequency in the Payroll Details > Wages tab. This is for Australia only and will keep you aware of how changes in wages affect Standard Pay and give you greater control when updating hourly employees.
2024.7 (August 2024)
Payroll (Australia only)
Even easier final pays
Previously, we released the ability to pay unused annual leave in an employee's final pay using AccountRight in a web browser. Now, you can also pay unused long service leave for employees who are leaving voluntarily.Faster SMSF confirmation email
We've improved the delivery speed of the email that's sent to the company file owner when they set up a self-managed super fund.
Online payments (Australia only)
More control with online payment surcharging
All fees associated with online payments (the 25c transaction fee + 1.8% of invoice value) can now be surcharged to the customer (excluding BPAY)
You can choose to exclude BPAY as a payment option on your online invoices. Doing this means that if you surcharge your customers, you can now pass on all of your online payment transaction fees.
Bug fixes
Fixed a bug that caused an unnecessary message to appear when online invoice payments settings for an invoice was updated. This bug also prevented users from printing or emailing an invoice in a locked period.
Under the hood
We're always working on things behind the scenes that you might not see, but lead to new time-saving features, better security, or improved performance. Here are some examples:
Along with bug fixes, our developers are continuing to identify and fix other areas of AccountRight where crashes have been reported.
It's an ATO requirement in Australia that every business must have a default superannuation fund that new employees can choose to join. To keep you in the good books with the ATO, if you haven't set a default super fund in AccountRight we're introducing a more prominent message to set one up when you add an employee. This change is coming soon.
2024.6 (July 2024)
Bank feeds
Smarter way to get bank transactions
As bank feeds saves you time on data entry and importing bank statements, you're now prompted to connect your bank accounts when you import a bank statement, or add bank account information. You can choose not to get these prompts again for 90 days.
Easier bank feed management
If your company file is online, you'll now set up and manage bank feeds in the web browser version of AccountRight instead of my.MYOB. This is a simpler, more streamlined process to connect and manage your bank accounts.
Usability improvements
Clearer cost centre messaging
We've updated 'category' to 'cost centre' in the message that appears prompting you to assign a cost centre to a transaction (if you use cost centres).Tidying up some old messages
We've removed an outdated message about super guarantee increases that used to appear when you started a pay run in the new financial year. (Australia only)
Bug fixes
We've fixed a few issues that could cause AccountRight to crash. These issues could occur when you create a purchase or spend money transaction, switch the company file you were using, or filter the Sales Register window.
We've removed the prompt to set up bank feeds if you're using a trial version of AccountRight
We've removed an incorrect bank feeds support number from the Cannot get bank feeds error message
Under the hood
We're always working on things behind the scenes that you might not see, but lead to new time-saving features, better security, or improved performance. Here are some examples:
Along with the bug fixes above, our developers are continuing to identify and fix other areas of AccountRight where crashes have been reported.
We're also putting the finishing touches on the final pay enhancements for Australia which will help pay out long service leave. You'll hear more about this in a future release.
It's an ATO requirement in Australia that every business must have a default superannuation fund that new employees can choose to join. To keep you in the good books with the ATO, if you haven't set a default super fund in AccountRight we're introducing a more prominent message to set one up when you add an employee. This change is coming soon.
2024.5 (June 2024)
Payroll (Australia only)
Keeping you compliant for the new payroll year
The tax tables have been automatically updated and will apply for pays dated 1 July 2024 onwards.
Helping you automate the super rate increase
Any super guarantee payroll categories with the calculation basis set to Minimum Required Rate will be automatically updated to 11.5% when you do your first pay run with a payment date on or after 1 July 2024.
Easier Fair Work compliance
If your business isn't covered by the Fair Work System, you can now choose to prevent new employees being provided the Fair Work Information Statement (FWIS) when you invite them to self-onboard.
Cost Centre reports
Following on from the recent name change of Categories to Cost Centres in AccountRight, we've made the same changes in the cost centre reports. These reports no longer refer to categories in the column headings and report filters.
Bug fixes
We fixed an issue that could cause AccountRight to crash when entering an ABN for a Self-Managed Super Fund (SMSF). (Australia only)
We fixed a bug that could cause AccountRight to crash in the Find Transactions window.

2024.4 (May 2024)
2024.4.0 patch was released 30 May to fix an issue that caused AccountRight to crash if a tax code was changed on an invoice (if you use Online Invoice Payments).
Payroll (Australia only)
Easier final pays
We're working on a new final pay feature for online company files, and the first stage is here. With this release, there's a new pay frequency called Final Pay. This opens the web browser version of AccountRight and guides you through the payment of unused annual leave – initially for employees who are leaving voluntarily. We'll add other final payment types, like unused long service leave, in future releases.
Sales
If you're using online invoice payments with surcharging enabled, you'll now see a warning if an invoice contains a consolidated tax/GST code.
Security 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.
Faster and clearer account update alert
We've improved the content and delivery speed of the email that's sent to the company file owner when one of your employee's bank account details are added or updated.
Bug fixes
We fixed a broken help link on the Employee Self-Onboarding window (Australia only)
We fixed an issue that could cause AccountRight to crash when switching between online and offline files.
Under the hood
We're always working on things behind the scenes that you might not see, but lead to new time-saving features, better security, or improved performance. Here's an example:
Our developers are looking into the diagnostic data that gets generated if AccountRight crashes or times out. This helps them work out why crashes happen so they can fix the root cause. It's slow going as there are lots of variables and tons of data to go through. But it's worth it.
2024.3 (April 2024)
Categories are now Cost Centres
We've updated the language in AccountRight to use more natural words you're familiar with. So, in this release we've renamed 'categories' to 'cost centres'. Most businesses use this feature to keep track of departments or cost centres, so this makes it a good fit.
Payroll
Helping you stay compliant (Australia only) When you add an employee, you'll now choose if they're permanent or temporary (which includes fixed-term roles). This ensures temp employees are provided the correct Fair Work Information Statement when they self-onboard or check their details.
Security enhancements

Bug fixes
We fixed an issue that caused AccountRight to crash in a few places, like when printing an invoice or removing an attachment from the In Tray.
Backordered items in foreign currencies are no longer showing in local currency when previewing the invoice.
Under the hood
We're always working on things behind the scenes that you might not see, but lead to new time-saving features, better security, or improved performance. Here are some examples:
We'll continue fixing parts of AccountRight where crashes have been reported. We fixed a few of these in this release, but there's a couple of trickier ones that we'll keep working at.
(Australia only) We're continuing our work on a better final pay experience for online files to help you pay out employees when they leave your business. Initially it'll help you create a final pay for voluntary termination paying out unused annual leave only, but we'll keep working on it to include other payment types, like long service leave. This will be a big time-saver and you'll hear more about it closer to its release.
2024.2 (March 2024)
Usability improvements
We've removed the error message that shows if you haven't specified a linked account for late fees and surcharges that you manually add to invoice payments. This avoids confusion with online invoice payment surcharging, which is a separate feature.
Under the hood
We're always working on things behind the scenes that you might not see, but they lead to new time-saving features, better security, or improved performance. Here's an example:
(Australia only) We're working on a better final pay experience for online files to help you pay out employees when they leave your business. We've laid the groundwork in this release and started our testing.

When you're inviting a new employee to submit their own details via self-onboarding, you can now choose to give them access to employee benefits.

Superannuation (Australia only)
We've removed the Threshold field from superannuation payroll categories where the Contribution Type is set to Superannuation Guarantee (expense). This is because from 1 July 2022, the Australian Government removed the $450 per month threshold for super guarantee eligibility (that's the amount an employee can earn in a calendar month before you have to pay them super). You don't need to do anything, we've just removed this field as it's no longer needed.

Improved Tracking: You can now track the status of your e-invoice as it moves through your customer’s accounts payable process. You can see the status on the invoice list and the activity history on the invoice itself. A full list of the statuses can be found on this help page.
To see these e-invoice statuses in MYOB, your customer’s software must be enabled to send them.
Payroll improvements (Australia only)
We're rolling out a few changes to provide better coverage in more tax scenarios as well as helping your business make the transition to paying Superannuation at the new rate of 10% from July 1.
STSL Tax tables: For employers who have employees undertaking higher education and training programs we previously had separate tax scales for FS / HELP / FS + HELP, these have now been combined into one table called STSL.
Working Holiday Maker - Not registered Tax scale: For Employers who have not registered for paying working holiday makers, we have added a new tax scale to support Working Holiday Maker - Not registered.
Default Superannuation % change from 9.5% to 10%: The Super Guarantee (SG) rate goes from 9.5% to 10% as of July 1, for all new files created post-July 1 we will be defaulting the SG to 10%.

2021.2 (April 2021)
Information for Server Edition users
We found a bug in the pre-release version of AccountRight 2021.2 (released earlier this month) that affects what's shown in PDF versions of bills. AccountRight 2021.2.1 fixes this.
If you installed the earlier 2021.2 Server Edition, you'll need to uninstall it and install 2021.2.1 (available from my.myob: Australia | New Zealand).
To check your current version, open AccountRight and go to the Help menu > About AccountRight.
AccountRight 2021.2.1 is now available
Information for PC Edition users
We've had some reports of a System.AggregateException error occurring when starting AccountRight.
We're releasing a minor update that'll be automatically downloaded to fix this issue, so you might be prompted to restart AccountRight to complete the installation.
AccountRight 2021.2.1 has arrived and brings with it a powerful new way to send transaction information to customers using e-invoicing, as well as smaller fixes and enhancements.
This is also the first AccountRight release that will be delivered via the new automatic update experience for PC installer users.
Sending e-invoices will be available in AccountRight 2021.2.1 within the web browser interface. This allows the seamless exchange of transaction data between buyers and suppliers with compatible software.
Reporting enhancements we’ve removed the date range restrictions on more reports, allowing you to run multi period balance sheet and profit and loss reports across unlimited date ranges.
Reminder for Server Edition users if you’re accessing offline company files across a local network using AccountRight Server Edition, you need to make sure that all installations of AccountRight are also the Server Edition version.
As always, we've also included some general improvements and fixes.
Sending e-invoices
E-invoicing is a government-backed initiative that allows invoices to be exchanged directly between buyers and sellers’ accounting software. This will not only cut down on manual data entry, but reduces the risk of human error and helps businesses get paid faster.
In AccountRight 2021.2.1, users in both Australia and New Zealand will be able to send e-invoices to customers using the service. Currently, this is mainly government agencies and large businesses, but the network of users is growing continuously.
Find out more about eInvoicing.
Reporting enhancements
We've removed the data range restrictions on more reports in AccountRight 2021.2.1. Now the multi period profit and loss, the multi period balance sheet and the profit and loss (with year to date) reports can be run over unlimited financial year periods provided there’s data available to report. Previously these reports were restricted to being run one year forward or back from the current financial year set in your business.
Reminder - changes for AccountRight Server Edition users
If you’re using AccountRight Server Edition to share offline files across a network, you’ll need to make sure that all users accessing those files are also using Server Edition, including those workstations accessing the server.
This is to make sure that all versions of AccountRight across your network stay the same, since any PC Edition installer versions will automatically update while the server version won’t. Learn more about updating an AccountRight network.
General improvements and fixes
We’re always working to make AccountRight faster and more reliable and 2021.2.1 is no exception. We’ve made some further performance optimisations in this version and fixed a couple of bugs that were causing AccountRight to crash when an update was installed in the background.
API Improvements and fixes
New endpoint alert!
You can now POST to the /{cf_uri}/Purchase/Bill/{Layout}/{PurchaseTxnId}/Attachment endpoint, enabling you to insert bill attachments via the public API as you can with spend money transactions (via the /{cf_uri}/Banking/SpendMoneyTxn/{Spend_Money_UID}/Attachment endpoint).
For more information, head to the MYOB Developer Centre.
2021.1 (February 2021)
This release will save you time and effort when it comes to how you install and manage your software.
Automatic updates Having to manually install software is so 2020. With automatic updates, your software will update to the latest version in the background without you needing to do anything.
Superannuation status improvements (AU only) We’ve improved how superannuation lodgement status is labelled to make things clearer and prevent overpayment.
Bug fixes and stability improvements As usual, there are plenty of under-the-hood improvements to make your experience using AccountRight better than ever.
To find out about previous AccountRight releases, see Previous releases.
Automatic updates for AccountRight
We’ve had feedback from you that the process for updating AccountRight isn’t always easy.
Having to download and manually install updates can be time consuming, especially if you have multiple PCs in your business using AccountRight. We want to keep our promise to deliver you more value more regularly, without creating extra effort for you to manage updates.
AccountRight 2021.1 will check for available updates, download them and update you to the latest version automatically. This means no more having to pick a time to stop your business using the software, downloading and installing the update and upgrading your file. When a new version is available, the next time you open AccountRight it will be on the latest version – just like that!
Automatic updates are only available for the AccountRight PC installer (which is the vast majority of users). If you’re using AccountRight server edition, automatic updates will be available for you later this year. For more information on how this impacts AccountRight server edition, see below.
Some things to note about automatic updates
The shortcuts for the 2021.1 release look different. Use the new shortcuts to distinguish the silent installer edition from other PC/SE installed versions.
Desktop icon:
Start menu icon
Automatic updates are available for all PC Edition users whether their company file is online or offline. Only an internet connection is required for automatic updates to work.
After installing AccountRight 2021.1, AccountRight will prompt the user when an update is downloaded and ready to install. The update is triggered when AccountRight restarts. The user can choose whether to restart AccountRight now or do it later.
Customers using both PC and Server Edition on their network will get out of sync. To prevent this, we recommend customers using AccountRight in a network install Server Edition on all PCs needing access to the company file. See the information for Server Edition users below.
We'll still need to decommission versions until all users have access to automatic updates. This includes those customers using Server Edition. Automatic updates for Server Edition will be available later in 2021.
Once you've installed AccountRight 2021.1 and upgraded your company files, you can uninstall older AccountRight versions. If you don't need to open files in older versions of AccountRight, it's a good idea to remove them.
Clearwater sample files are no longer supplied with AccountRight. You can however download sample files that will work with AccountRight 2021.1. See Using the sample company file (Clearwater).
We'll update relevant online topics with information about automatic updates once we start to make AccountRight 2021.1 generally available to customers.
If you're using on offline file and access third party apps using the Add-on connector, you'll need to restart the Add-on connector after installing 2021.1. For information on how to do this, see Add-ons.
Changes for AccountRight server edition users
If you’re using AccountRight Server Edition to share offline files across a network, you’ll need to make sure that all users accessing those files are also using Server Edition, including those workstations accessing the server. This is to make sure that all versions of AccountRight across your network stay the same, since any PC installer versions will automatically update while the server version won’t.
To check if you're using the Server Edition, look for SE in your desktop shortcut description.
Here's an example:
If there's no SE, you're using the PC edition.
Reminder – support for Windows 7
Microsoft discontinued support for Windows 7 on January 4th, 2020. MYOB ended its extended support of AccountRight on Windows 7 on March 31st, 2020.
If you’re using Windows 7, it’s important that you upgrade to a supported operating system to keep your system secure and operating reliably.
For more information, check out the Windows 7 end of support page from Microsoft, or speak to your IT provider.
Superannuation status for reversed pay runs
We’ve improved the statuses of superannuation payments to make it clearer when a payment has been reversed. Previously, when you reversed a superannuation payment transaction, the status did not update to reflect that the transaction had been reversed. This meant another user might not realise the transaction was reversed and authorise the payment to the fund.
Now, when a payment is reversed, the status will update to Reversal completed, alerting all users that the payment has been reversed to prevent payment being completed.
Now when payments with the following statuses are reversed, the status will change to Reversal completed:
Pending authorisation
Partial authorisation
Payment failed
Withdraw failed
Reversal required
General improvements and fixes
That’s not all! We have the usual enhancements and fixes to make your experience using AccountRight even better in 2021.1.
Job number character limit We’ve extended the character limit for job numbers from 15 to 30 characters
Importing and exporting journals in foreign currencies You can now export your foreign currency general journal transactions, extending the functionality of the recent foreign currency general journal release
Importing activity slips with decimals in the ‘units’ field This is now supported when a payroll category is allocated (AU only)
Bug fixes and stability improvements No release of AccountRight would be complete without squashing some pesky bugs. We’ve improved support for transactions entered via AccountRight’s browser interface as well as smaller bugs using foreign currencies, printing reports and more. And of course, we’ve given AccountRight further tune ups to make it faster and more reliable than ever.
API Improvements and fixes
‘Custom list’ endpoints The custom list feature allows you to set up lists of predefined attributes and assign them to your items and contacts to enhance and organise your data. You can now read the custom lists and their values via the API.
2020
2020.4 (December 2020)
A new release of AccountRight, 2020.4.2, is now available. This release addresses an issue discovered in testing of 2020.4 that prevents some users from printing a remittance advice on a customised remittance template. AccountRight 2020.4.2 is now available at my.myob AU | NZ and will be rolled out to users via in-product messages soon.
AccountRight 2020.4 promises to be one of our biggest releases yet, giving you access to an entirely new way to work with AccountRight, along with further enhancements to reporting, multi-currency and more.
Access AccountRight via a web browser You can now access your online AccountRight files through a web browser interface, giving you the best of AccountRight anywhere on any internet-connected device.
Pass online invoicing card transaction fees to customers When your customers pay you with debit or credit cards using online invoice payments, you can pass along the 1.8% card transaction fee to them. And, we've made reconciliation of online invoicing payments easier.
Multi-currency enhancements We've made more improvements for users working in multiple currencies. You can now create general journals for more account types and we now support foreign currency remittance advices.
Reporting improvements We've removed date range restrictions, allowing you to run key reports across an unlimited period.
Bug fixes and stability improvements We’ve continued the stability and performance focus from AccountRight 2020.3 into this release, with further crash and bug fixes making this release even more reliable and easy to use.
Access your AccountRight file via your web browser
You can now access your online AccountRight file via your web browser. This allows you to perform your most common tasks from any online device, including mobile and tablet devices.
Send an invoice on site, code your bank transactions on the train, check your business performance in the coffee queue – browser access for AccountRight brings new levels of flexibility to the power of the AccountRight platform.
Find out more about working with AccountRight in your browser.
Only online files with a current subscription can be accessed from your web browser.
Just open your AccountRight company file as you normally would and click the Open in web browser button.
Online invoice payments (Australia only)
2020.4 is a big release for online invoice payments users, with the top two feature requests making their way to AccountRight.
Pass on card transaction fees (surcharging): In AccountRight 2020.4, you can pass along the 1.8% card transaction fee to your customers. The surcharge will be added to the invoice total and settled to your account after payment. Surcharging is only applicable to invoices paid with credit or debit cards (AMEX, Mastercard and Visa). BPAY fees cannot be passed on.
Easier payments reconciliation: When funds from online invoice payments are settled into your account, AccountRight can automatically create a bank deposit transaction and clear the corresponding transactions from undeposited funds. This will save considerable time previously spent allocating the settlement amount to the individual payments.
Multi-currency improvements
This release improves the functionality of foreign currency general journals, introduced in AccountRight 2020.3:
You can now post general journals in foreign currencies to other asset and other liability account types (this was previously limited to bank and credit card accounts)
Foreign currency remittance advice is now supported for pay bills and spend money transactions.
Reporting improvements
AccountRight 2020.4 builds on the previous release by removing date range restrictions on more key reports, allowing you to run reports across unlimited periods that would have previously required you to restore a backup of that financial year.
You can now run the profit and loss statement and balance sheet reports across unlimited periods.
The date restrictions on the ‘send to accountant’ (.MYE export) functionality have also been removed.
Exporting the profit and loss and balance sheet reports to Microsoft Excel has been improved, providing better formatting within the workbook.
Defect and crash fixes
We improved stability in AccountRight 2020.3 by over 60% and we’re continuing this focus with further crash and bug fixes, making 2020.4 the most reliable release yet.
When importing activity slips with decimals in the unit column, the payroll category wasn’t importing correctly. This has been resolved.
Fixed display issues with longer item numbers
We’ve also fixed the most common crashes that happened when
Processing payroll
Adding/removing attachments to transactions
Resizing or closing multiple windows.
API Improvements and fixes
New BalanceSheetSummary endpoint
API users currently call the {cf_uri}/GeneralLedger/AccountRegister endpoint to retrieve the data they require from ARL to calculate an Account Balance which carries a number of limitations, particularly around dates. These limitations required manual calculation work which is cumbersome and can be inaccurate.
The new BalanceSheetSummary endpoint allows users of the API to quickly and easily retrieve account balances for balance sheet accounts as at a date for postable accounts. This endpoint will return accrual balances.
API bugfixes
The incorrect order type was being returned from Sales and Purchases when performing a GET on the Sales Order and Purchase Order endpoints.
The default Price Level field in the Company Preferences endpoint was returning an incorrect value.
The Item Price Matrix endpoint was returning a 404 not found when retrieving items that were created using the API.
