2023.1.1 Release notes

You can now de-allocate unused materials, freeing up inventory to be used on other production orders. This significantly improves data integrity and demand planning when you run materials resource planning (MRP).

For more details, see page 117 of the full release notes.

You can now track inventory by project without being limited to the location of that inventory.

For more details, see page 148 of the full release notes.

You can now delegate and reassign approvals for a predefined period, like when you go on leave. This means an organisation can keep its approval flow running smoothly even if the original approver isn't unavailable. 

For more details, see page 19 of the full release notes.

Streamline sales and returns with the new mixed order type, which lets you process inventory and issues from the same sales order.

For more details, see page 103 of the full release notes.

To make it easier to correct an underpayment, you can now use an adjustment pay to top-up an employee’s pay. For more details, see Adjusting employee pays.

When we originally introduced Microsoft Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) integration in version 2022.1.3, there were issues that prevented it from working with MYOB Advanced Payroll.

We've now fixed those issues, so you can integrate MYOB Advanced Payroll with Azure AD worry free. This lets you provide single sign-on (SSO) and manage users and access in one place.

For detailed steps on setting up Azure AD, see our online help pages.

Companies that use bank feeds also need a customisation to be able to integrate with Azure AD. This customisation is available on the MYOB Partner self-service portal.

For companies using Advanced Employee Onboarding, you can now view which employee profile was used to onboard an employee. On the Employee Onboarding Detail screen (MPATGI01), check the new Employee Profile ID and Employee Profile Description columns.

If you realise that an employee's profile isn't the best fit for them, you can also now change their profile. On the Pay Details screen (MPPP2310), use the new Apply Employee Profile option on the toolbar. This updates all of the employee's payroll settings, except for information that's unique to them – for example, pay rates for KiwiSaver or superannuation.

An issue can occur if an employee's branch changes when you apply an employee profile to them. For details on how to fix them, see Error: "'Country' cannot be empty" when applying employee profile.

If you've been incorrectly assigned as the approver for a leave request submitted through Employee Self Service, you can now assign someone else to approve or reject the request.

For more details, see Managing your team's leave.

In MYOB Advanced Employee Self Service, you can now cancel leave requests instead of deleting them, making it easier to keep track of employees' leave.

Previously, when a leave request was deleted, there was no record of the request in MYOB Advanced, which could cause confusion. Now, when a leave request is cancelled, MYOB Advanced changes the request's status to Cancelled.

For for more information, see Cancelling or deleting a leave request.

You can now view and edit the Pay Details and Employees screens from the Employee Onboarding Detail screen (MPATGI01) by using the new side panels. The side panels let you do everything that you would normally do in those screens, without having to open a new web browser tab. To open the side panels, click either the Pay Details or Employees icon.

It's now easier to figure out what's causing pay run errors on the Manage Pays, Pay Run Details and Employee's Current Pay screens. Error messages now shows the employee, pay item or entitlement that are causing the issue.

• On the Pay Items screen, for entitlement accrual pay items linked to an annual leave entitlement, the Accrual Method in the Calculation tab now defaults to Full Contract. You can’t change this accrual method.

• On the Employee's Current Pay screen, it's now clearer why the Calculated rate in the footer section is different to the Rate column in the main table. The new Rate Multiplier column shows how much the Rate column is being multiplied by to arrive at the Calculated rate.

 To display the Multiplier column, click the Column Configuration icon.

• We've improved the wording of a warning that can appear when you open the Termination window from the Employee's Current Pay screen. It's now clearer that you need to select a default pay group for the employee on the Pay Details screen.
  

  

• AUSTRALIA On the Superannuation Funds screen, you can now only migrate funds when no payments are being processed. This makes sure no transactions are missed in the migration.
