Hi gavin12345​ 

 

Greetings Gavin - need some heads up on upgrading Enterprise to AR Premier 2025.10 - it has been a longtime since I upgraded a classic Premier/Enterprise but a client has now decided to go 2025.10 yesterday with pending deprecation of Premier Enterprise.

 

Notwithstanding your comments re negative inventory - I do not think they run a perpetual inventory - I think so unlikely a problem there - also, I do not think they run multi-currency.  Multi-location, again I don't think so?

 

However, a heads up on conversion to 2025 - I am going to run a test upgrade as we have to big Access databases running all their invoicing and payments that need conversion to apis - so my aim is to get the client to expedite a paid sub for 2025 AR Premier - I will get a copy of their current MYOB Classic Enterprise file and do a conversion server side not cloud wise - then upload the converted file ( all things being equal and it converts) - and it will be the uploaded test file we will use to get the apis going.

 

Any problems with my approach - notwithstanding necessary permissions from the client.

 

Regards The Doc

Hi The_Doc​ 
Your proposed approach sounds fine. Now that AR2025 supports multi locations and foreign currency, those concerns are no longer relevant. A few things worth noting:

 

  • if client not keen to sign up immediately, MYOB will provide a trial serial number which can be used to test.
  • sometimes negative inventory cannot be turned off even if there are no negative items - file may need repair to fix and switch off the preference
  • if foreign currency is used, some invoice layouts are not allowed and if used in foreign currency transaction the file will not upgrade. Layouts need to be changed to allowable types, eg Item and service - easy for current year, less so for prior year - may need 3rd party help if you encounter this.
  • confirmation is available via a 3rd party if/when MYOB stop and decline to issue patch for those who want to keep using

Regards

Gavin
