We are aiming to cover all the possible scenarios of your source accounting system when converting it to the new one, nevertheless because the systems subtly vary on how they are handling accounting, it is not always possible to convert everything and for all your accounting period. Hence it is important you take your time to understand the limitations of our service.
Learn more about conversion limitations for all systems.
Apart from the limitations listed in the article linked above, MyOB Accountright also has the following ones:
VERSIONS SUPPORTED
Dataswitcher currently supports AccountRight 2011 and above (v2020.1 as of 09-Apr-2020).
For v19 and below, there is an upgrade tool available. To use the tool you first have to upgrade your AccountRight file to 2011 or above. You can read more about that here:
https://help.myob.com/wiki/display/ar/Things+you+should+know+before+upgrading
Some limitations to upgrading your file, are for instance negative inventory.
MYOB Essentials will be supported beginning June 2020.
MYOB products not supported:
MYOB Advanced, EXO, and PayGlobal
COMPANY DATA AUDITOR
“Garbage in, garbage out”.
In order to ensure a cleaner conversion, we do recommend running the ‘Company Data Auditor”, to check the integrity of your file prior to conversion.
For versions prior to Account Right 2011, file verification and optimization checks is also recommended.
ROLLED OVER FILES
We recommend using our Simple and Standard Packages for files that have been rolled over to the current financial year.
Should you wish to avail of our PRO package for more than 2-years of transactions, please contact support@dataswitcher.com
RECURRING TRANSACTIONS
Conversion of ‘Recurring Transactions’ in MYOB is still in development, hence we recommend setting this up post-conversion. A useful guide is available here:
