Importing from MYOB RetailManager

If you use MYOB RetailManager as your point-of-sale software, you can import information to your AccountEdge accounting software.

Some of the types of information you can import are:

■	your supplier details

■	goods received transactions (imported as bills)

■	general journal entries summarising other transactions (such as sales income and cost of sales).

Before you can import your data, you must export the data from RetailManager and save it in the your AccountEdge software program folder. The import file will be detected and the import process will automatically begin when you open your AccountEdge company file. Note that if you save the import file in another location, you will need to import it manually.

To import RetailManager

1	In your AccountEdge software, go to the Setup menu and choose Preferences. The Preferences window appears.

2	Click the System tab and select the I use MYOB RetailManager option.

3	Click OK and exit your AccountEdge software.

note :

You only need to set this preference the first time you import from MYOB RetailManager.

4	Start your AccountEdge software and open your AccountEdge company file. If there are transactions that need to be imported, the import process will occur automatically.

If you get a warning or an error message indicating that the import was not successful, refer to the import log file in your AccountEdge software program folder for a list of errors or warnings. It is called AccountEdge Import Log
