Finding a transaction using reports
In your MYOB software, there are several reports available to help you find a transaction: Account, Job, Invoice, Bill, Card, and Payroll Category. If you know the account associated with the transaction you are looking for, you can use the Account report. If you know the customer or vendor name, use the Card Transactions report. To view details about a report item, click the item in the report.
Data backup reports
Your MYOB software contains transaction detail reports that show transactions entered for specified periods. You can use these reports as hard copy backups of your company file. These reports can be very large, so you may just want to print them at specific intervals, such as the the end of a month, quarter, or year.
Daily reports
Weekly reports

If you prepare summary reports quarterly instead of monthly, the following reports will help provide an overview of your business’ financial health for the quarter. To help ensure the reports are accurate, enter all relevant financial transactions first, such as depreciation, interest earned, etc.

Annual reports
At the end of a fiscal year, your accountant will need, at minimum, a Trial Balance [Summary] report, a year-end Balance Sheet, and a year-end Profit & Loss statement. You should check with your accountant before you prepare these reports, as you may need to enter some adjustment transactions.

Converting data to a spreadsheet
You can convert most reports to a spreadsheet by saving them as tab-delimited or comma separated text files. However, there are a few MYOB software reports that have been specifically designed for exporting to a spreadsheet.
In the report window, click Send To and then choose Disk. Save the report and then launch your spreadsheet and open the file. Note that the report file created by your MYOB software will not be recognized as a spreadsheet date file, so be sure to change the file type to All Files when looking for the spreadsheet report.
An amount that is a subtotal in a report shows the word ‘Total’ before the account name. Be careful to avoid double-counting the subtotals when manipulating figures in a spreadsheet.
