Account Edge and Catalina

Hi

 

I know that we can't upgade to Catalin at all now. I'm just wondering about the future of Account Edge?

Will this product continue to be supported by MYOB?

Will we get the necessary tax table updates for the upcoming new financial year?

Is there an alternative product being developed?

 

The last of information or contact from MYOB is astounding. 

 

Anyone?

Thanks

S

  • Hi SMM 

     

    We currently don't have any further information with regards to whether a tax table update will be available for AccountEdge. More information will be posted when that information does come to hand.

  • Hi SMM 

     

    Unfortunately, in light of the recent announcement regarding Catalina, we don’t expect a new release for AccountEdge in the immediate future with a compliance release for this payroll year still being investigated. We'll have more information on that situation closer to the end of the payroll year. 

     

    In saying that, AccountEdge will continue to operate with all its current functionalities on the Mojave operating system for the foreseeable future.

      Thanks for your reply Steven.

       

      Surely we've all waited long enough for an answer from MYOB. No one wants to switch to a new accounting system "on the fly," it needs to be a planned roll out.

       

      Will we be able to load new tax tables for the 2021 fin year?

       

      I cannot believe MYOB's scant diregegard for long term clients. It's infuriating!

      Steven_M will our exisiting Account Edge V 18.5 data file work using the latest version Account Right? 

      We could access this via Parallels on the mac. 

      What's the process for migration if any and costs involved please?

      thanks

        Hi SMM 

         

        Due to significant changes in the database, an AccountEdge company file is not able to be migrated across to AccountRight. Should you wish to consider moving to AccountRight we do recommend setting a date in your AccountEdge company file to get the customer, supplier and account balances as at. You would then create a company file in AccountRight before entering that information via Setup>>Balances or the Easy Setup Assistant.

        Hi Hel 

         

        AccountEdge will receive a compliance update, AccountEdge v18.6, later this month - typically last week on June. Note: This will NOT be Catalina compliant, being Mojave or below compatible.
