    Hi lannguyen 

     

    You will need to send the file to MYOB to get fixed. I have seen this several times before - though your inventory figures are over ten trillion dollars!

     

    There are several bugs in the software when it comes to inventory. In the cases I have seen, a client had an invoice for a few items costing less than $100. They then edited the invoice. Due to some bug this 'tripped' the system and MYOB generated a COGS figure of several million dollars. Each time they tried to edit or delete the transaction, the figures got larger and larger, over $40m. They had several invoices where this same thing happened - exact cause is unknown. Seems to be what might be happening here.

     

    This client sent the file to a 3rd party to get fixed.

     

    Best of luck getting this fixed. Otherwise your financial statements will look like a governments budget document - $2 trillion in debt!

     

    Regards
