Find Transactions

In order to find transactions in your MYOB software, you can use the Find Transactions window (explained below), the command centre registers or the transaction journal functionality. To begin using the Transaction Journal, click Transactions Journal from the flowchart section of the main command centres. This opens the Transaction Journal window which have different tabs that correspond to different journals in your MYOB software. Choose the appropriate tab for your search and then enter the appropriate dates into the Dated From and To fields to identify the transactions that you are looking for.

Now that you are familiar with the Transactions Journal, let's learn how to use the Find Transactions window. The Find Transactions window allows you to search for transactions you have entered into your MYOB software. You can enter as many search criteria as you want, using the information you have on hand. This window allows you to search for transactions by account, card, item, invoice, bill, category, job and payroll category. Note that this window also allows you to drill down to view individual transactions in detail.

To open the Find Transactions window, go to the bottom of any command centre and click Find Transactions. Alternatively, press <CTRL> + <Y> from your keyboard.
