Assigning numbers to transactions

Personalising Your Company Overview > Customising your MYOB Accounting Plus system > Assigning numbers to transactions

Keeping your company's financial records organised efficiently is a task that relies heavily on the numbers that are assigned to your transactions, such as cheques, sales and purchases. If your company wishes to be careful about tracking transaction numbers, you can use MYOB Accounting Plus's auto-numbering feature to keep your financial records in the proper order.

When you create a transaction in any of the windows listed below, the field that displays the transaction's number (for example, Cheque No.) will display Auto No. when the highlight rests on that field. This text indicates that the transaction will be automatically given an actual transaction number when it's recorded into the company file. If you wish, you can override the Auto No. text by entering the number you want to be assigned to the transaction.

The windows in which auto-numbering is used include:

  • Pay Bills
  • Receive Payments
  • Record Journal Entry
  • Historical Purchase
  • Historical Sale
  • Adjust Stock
  • Transfer Stock
  • Receive Money
  • Purchases
  • Sales
  • Settle Returns & Credits
  • Settle Returns & Debits
  • Spend Money
  • Pay Employees
