error installing, will Premier product meet reqs requirements

Hello,

I'm trying to decide between MYOB and Reckon. Specific requirements and related problems I have are:

  1. I need to be able to bundle SKU's into Product offerings. It appears I need the desktop Premier app for this, which only runs on PC. I'm on a Mac and have been unable to install a trial version into my Virtual PC. Error message attached, can't find any ref to Error 1920.
  2. Good stock adjustment handling
  3. Be able to attribute different prices to SKU's bought at different times from suppliers
  4. Report on quantity at hand for a given date.
  5. Ability to create on-line invoices and when paid output picking slips and mailing labels.

  6. Is Premier the right product, can it be installed on a virtual machine?

Thanks.

    Unfortunately the desktop version isn’t compatible with a Mac which is probably the cause of the errors you’re encountering.

    Sounds like you’d be better with Reckon Accounts Hosted - This is the next version up from desktop Premier (aka “Enterprise”) but is stored on Reckon’s encrypted servers (hence the “Hosted” name) & accessed via any web browser (including Safari) making it accessible from any device anywhere.

    PS The Reckon Accounts range (including Hosted) is far superior to MYOB, particularly for Inventory & reporting!

    Thanks for the reply. I started a trial of Accounts Hosted but it does not support a key need I have which is to build packages from a number of SKU's. For example I want to gather 4 products together for a Christmas gifts special. Accounts Hosted dialog box says I need Accounts premier to do this "adding assembled units to inventory and deducting component units from inventory when you build assembly items" requires Accounts Premier. Or is there some way I can do this?

    Whilst I have a Mac I am running a virtual PC on the Mac. MYOB PC software runs fine in this virtual machine, I can't get Reckon to even install.

    I'd prefer to use Accounts hosted but will go with MYOB if I can't solve my combing SKU's into packages challenge.

    Hosted is a higher version & definitely supports inventory assemblies - You may just need to enable that particular Preference (Under Edit dropdown menu > Preferences):

    Thanks so much, that was very helpful. Have been able to do exactly to test that out.
