USING OFFLINE MYOB

Hi,  can i ask, if i have 4 staff using the offline version, can they upload the back up file each or will this cause issues

 

can i only have one member of staff using offline?

 

Thanks

Jo

    Noting  Our users just signed in after waiting for an hour or so We would also like to setup the same Offline file and upload when online again to update

    Hi Joanne76 , that definitely will cause problems, do not try it. Assuming that you have a live cloud file, then probably your users have taken a backup and have opened those files locally. However, each backup is a complete file, therefore if any of them is updated locally, then restored online, it becomes the current (live) file. If another file is restored, it overwrites the current live file. And if the live online file had been changed prior to the restore, those changes would be lost. 

    MYOB did provide 'checkout' and 'sync' options in earlier versions of AccountRight, but they have been discontinued.
