Import / Export Company data

I want to sanity check what I am trying to do with the community, because this process seems too convoluted to be correct.    I have signed up and paid for MYOB account Right Plus, so I have access...

    Hi TIMMULLER,

     

    Thank you for your post.

     

    One alternative method you can consider is using reports to export data. You can run a report that includes the data you need, then export the report to a file format of your choice, such as Excel. Kindly refer to this Help article, Account Reports, which has a detailed list of reports. 

     

    Please let me know if you require further assistance.

Hi TIMMULLER 

 

With AccountRight, you cannot restore a file online unless it is already online and you are wanting to replace it with a more up to date copy. Both the serial number and file ID must match.

 

In order to upload a file online, the serial number in the company file must match the serial number on your subscription. This cannot happen with a Clearwater file. You would be better off creating a new file offline, add or import the transactions you want to start with, then Activate the file with your serial number - then you can upload it online.

 

Using clearwater file only works for local test purposes.

 

Regards

Gavin

    ok thank you, that is what I had experienced. 

    Follow up question, is there an easier way to export than using the import/export wizard?  It only lets you export 1 record type at a time, and accounts, seems to be only 1 month at a time. 

     

    Very tedious.
