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 tabl...

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 Steven_M
This is really bad service from MYOB and terrible treatment of loyal clients. We've paid software support and renewal for about 15 years.
Will MYOB be offering assistance with migrations? In my past experience inporting and exporting within MYOB in not a seamless process. Not to mention costly and time consuming.
When will we know if we can get 2021 tax tables?
A very unhappy client....

Hi SMM
As has been indicated on this thread, 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.
Steven_M are there detailed instructions available for moving data from MYOB AE to AR? Is this something MYOB can do? I undertstand that there may be issues with duplication of STP payroll data.
Thanks

Hi SMM
Due to significant changes in the databases, an AccountEdge company file is not able to be migrated across to AccountRight. Should you be looking into that the recommendation would be to take a copy of your card and accounts balances as that a set date. You then enter that balance information within a new AccountRight company file via Setup>>Balances or through the Easy Setup Assistant.
In terms of Payroll and employee cards, it does depend on the date you set what to move the data across as at. If you are looking at doing at the start of the payroll year you would just need to set up the employee cards.
If you are completing the process in the middle of the payroll year, you would be looking at zeroing out the pay history of the employees within AccountEdge. You would need to process an update event in AccountEdge to reflect the ATO that the pay information for that year has been zeroed out. Once that has been actioned, re-enter the year-to-date information on the employees' card in the Pay History section of the employee's card and then file your first pay with Payroll Reporting within that version - this will pull the historical information and that pay information through to the ATO.
You can process an update event in AccountEdge like this:
- Go to Payroll > Payroll Reporting.
- Click Create Update Event.
- In the Type field, select Update Event.
- Click Create Update Event.
- Select all employees.
- Enter the name of the Authorised Sender.
- Click Send to ATO.
- Click Close.
