Entering a supplier bill with line items means recording each row of the invoice (item, quantity, price, account and GST) instead of one lump sum.
Before you start
- A user with access to Purchases
The MYOB Business way
Where to find it: Purchases > Create bill
- Choose the Supplier. The ABN status shows once an ABN is on the supplier.
- Enter the Supplier invoice number, Issue date and Due date.
- Choose Tax inclusive or Tax exclusive.
- Use Field layout to pick the layout for items or for services.
- For services enter Description, Category, Amount and Tax code on each line. For items pick the Item ID and enter No of units and Unit price.
- Add Freight if needed, then click Save.
Limits in MYOB Business
- Field layout offers an items layout and a services layout. There is no percentage split.
Good to know in MYOB Business
- You can start from a document in Uploads with Prefill from a source document.
The Pulsify way
- Forward the supplier's invoice to your Pulsify address or upload it. Pulsify reads every printed row as its own line.
- Pulsify finds the supplier in MYOB Business and suggests an account for each line from how that supplier was coded before.
- Review the lines in Pulsify. Fix any account or tax code and approve.
- On approval, Pulsify creates the bill in MYOB Business with the original file attached.
Pulsify connects to MYOB in one click. Approved bills are created in MYOB with the source file attached.
What Pulsify does not do here
- Pulsify aims for 99% accuracy, but you still review each bill before approval.
Example in MYOB Business
Example Pipe and Fittings bills you for pipe, fittings and freight. You pick the Services layout and Tax exclusive.
| Line | Amount | Tagged to |
|---|---|---|
| Copper pipe | $640.00 | Account: Materials, Tax code: GST |
| Fittings | $215.50 | Account: Materials, Tax code: GST |
| Freight | $38.00 | Account: Freight in, Tax code: GST |
Subtotal $893.50 plus GST $89.35 gives a bill total of $982.85. Enter the invoice number in Supplier invoice number and check the total before you save.
Common mistakes
- Picking Tax inclusive or Tax exclusive without checking it against the invoice.
- Not looking at the ABN status that shows once you choose the supplier.
