Changes to MYOB AccountRight offline mode
2 MIN READ Hello Accountant and Bookkeeper community. An important update was emailed to our partners yesterday, but I am posting an update here as well for any who might have missed it (and because it is being discussed in the forum already). From 17 June 2026, MYOB AccountRight desktop app (PC edition) will only work with company files stored online. Offline mode will no longer be available, and from version 2026.5 (PC edition) you’ll no longer be able to open, edit or save files stored locally (in My Library or Network Library). AccountRight desktop isn’t going anywhere. The only change is that your company file will need to be online to receive product and security updates, support, and online services. If you’re currently using an offline AccountRight file with an active subscription, you need to move your file online before 17 June 2026 to continue to access AccountRight . There’s no additional cost to move your existing subscribed file online. Why are we making this change? The offline version of MYOB AccountRight desktop is built on technology that no longer meets today’s performance standards. Moving online will: Improve performance, reliability and security, such as 2FA and regular online back-ups Ensure MYOB AccountRight is built on current, supported technology Deliver faster and more frequent improvements, including stronger AI capabilities Align with industry best practice and evolving needs of our customers We remain committed to supporting your business far into the future. Our focus is shifting to investing in our next generation of online products and modern technology that reflects the evolving needs of our customers, delivering solutions that save time, increase efficiency, and improve collaboration between small businesses and their advisors. We’ve put together an overview of what’s changing and how to move your file online linked here Please note, that any SME customers who need to take action will be communicated with via email on Tuesday 21st April.
Offline desktop
So what MYOB said would never happen is now going to !! From 17 June 2026 AccountRight desktop is being phased out. You have to be joking MYOB - 9 days before the end of the 2026 financial year, and between now and then bookkeepers and accountants have to convince their clients to upload their files online. What do you suggest we tell clients who don't have internet access and those who refuse to work online. At least on the desktop if the internet goes down (your end or theirs) they can still keep their businesses going
SuperChoice P/L transaction processing problem
MYOB Business Pro file does not match Super Choice to Bank Transaction in bank feed, MYOB account 2-1355 Superannuation Payable shows both the credit and debit processed when the payroll was processed leaving the ending balance $0.00 as one would expect. Therefore, the transaction in the bank feed cannot be debited to account 2-1355 as it will affect the balance sheet. How is this rectified please? Many thanksSearch function in invoices
the search function in the invoice screen is not working. I have checked the date range is correct, set to all invoices, status is set to all, customers is set to all. When I enter the invoice number I am looking for all I get is 2 overdue invoices! I've tried searching by invoice number, by customer, by status with the same result. This has only happened since the latest update. Is there a hidden field I can't see?? I've tried logging out and logging back in, shutting down and opening it up again, still no joy. Frustrating!!!
MYOB Time Billing and eInvoicing Issue
The Government requires invoice to be sent as eInvoices; however, we are currently using Time Billing invoice in MYOB account right. Unfortunately, TimeBilling invoices cannot be sent as eInvoices. This has been an issue for over an year - do you know when MYOB will be able to resolve it?
Remove New Restriction-Allow editing of Category & GST on reconciled transactions without undoing reconciliation
The current restriction preventing changes to Category and GST coding on reconciled bank transactions is creating unnecessary inefficiencies in standard bookkeeping workflows. In practice, bank reconciliations are often completed by one team member, with quarterly BAS reviews performed later by another (e.g. accountant or senior bookkeeper). During review, it is common and necessary to correct coding errors such as misallocated expense accounts or incorrect GST treatment. Currently, MYOB requires users to undo bank reconciliations to make these corrections, which: Forces users to undo potentially multiple reconciliation periods Requires full re-reconciliation of accounts Introduces risk of errors and duplication of work Adds significant time and cost to routine review processes MYOB help documentation confirms that manual reconciliations must be undone to edit transactions , and community responses consistently recommend undoing and redoing reconciliations or using workaround journals — neither of which is efficient for high-volume or multi-user environments. This is a step backward from prior workflows and does not align with real-world bookkeeping practices. Suggested improvement Allow users to: Edit Category and GST code only on reconciled transactions Without requiring reconciliation to be undone While maintaining reconciliation integrity (e.g. no impact on bank balance) This would: Support proper review and BAS accuracy Reduce unnecessary rework Improve efficiency for accounting firms and multi-user files
Wrong A/C used for Superannuation
A new Salary Sacrifice payroll category was set up for new employee and incorrectly linked with wrong account number. This was rectified but (of course!) the first payroll was completed first. So account number 2-6100 Trade Creditors was used instead of Superannuation 2-5699. The Payables Reconciliation Summary was out of balance from the date of this payslip but when Super was paid, this was back to zero. I first did a Journal entry, thinking this would simply deduct amt from wrong account and into correct account but this put report out of balance again! 2-6100 account has debit & credit so all good. Correct payment was made to employee. The only thing out now is the Superannuation account is out by this amount. I'm not sure how to rectify this? Thank you.
