    Hi AdamZhang.,

     

    Thanks for your post, and welcome to the MYOB Community!  we hope you find it a great resource.

     

    While the file extension of the file output from Xero GL might be a .MYE file, the data inside the file might actually not be in the correct format, or there could be data that is configured incorrectly.

    Check out this Knowledge Base article for more info.  It is possible that there are special characters or letters in the Account codes, or there is an account code that is blank when exporting transactions.

     

    This article has info on the actual file formats and structure that should be in the file in the section "How do I import from another accounting software"
