    Hi Earl,

     

    I exported the item list with EVERY field available and made sure it all filled in and correct and it works.

     

    Manually updating 450 items this time was not something I was looking forward to do doing. The fact this issue exists at all is just stupid, and is one of the factors behind my business looking into ERP software and other alternatives to MYOB.

     

    We live in the digital age. It might be time for MYOB to get on board or fall by the wayside.

Hi Aerovent_James

Welcome to the Community Forum! 

The error "Error -4066: You have purchases on file for this item" indicates that there are existing purchase records for the items you are trying to update. Currently, due to the nature of this error, you will need to manually update the standard cost price for the affected items. Before proceeding with the manual updates, you can try importing the changes for a single item to see if the issue persists. If the issue persists, it will still need to be done manually.


Regards,
Earl

    Hi Earl,

     

    Or you could run the Error 4077 script - both Error 4066 and 4077 are caused by the same bug in MYOB, and the script covers both.
