As often mentioned, one of the most proactive things you can do for your business is to spend a few minutes each day to create a daily backup of your company's company file. By doing so, you'll keep yourself out of trouble if an unexpected calamity occurs, such as total computer failure or a damaging lightning storm.
Another tool you can use to keep your accounting information safe is the MYOB BusinessBasics data verification feature. By checking your company file for errors, data verification can catch minor inconsistencies in your company's company file before they cause serious problems.
| Note: What errors does the data verification feature look for?
Generally speaking, the BusinessBasics data verification feature scans everything inside your company file-from the transaction entries you've made into the MYOB system to the computer code that makes up the basic foundation of any MYOB BusinessBasics company file. You can verify your company file at any time. To make data verification a daily routine, the verification process can also occur at the same time as the process of making a backup. |
| Idea: Use the Optimization Assistant to keep your company file in top form
You may want to use the MYOB BusinessBasics Optimization Assistant on a regular basis to keep your company file operating at its peak. The Optimization Assistant can ensure that the file is operating efficiently, and it may resolve minor problems with the company file, as well. For more information about using the Optimization Assistant, see To optimize a company file. |
