Master Reports with MYOB AE 2024.1 (5.4.52.107) release patch
In the MYOB AE install guide—5.4.52/2024.1 SP1 (Australia) Release date—October 2024, it says:
Important Note: "We may replace any MYOB Master Reports at any time. We recommend that if you’ve customised our masters to export a backup copy of the report layouts using the Report Export Utility which is available from Reports > Report > Export & Import before upgrading MYOB AE"
So I went into Master Reports Export - there a literally hundreds of these Reports and MYOB does not provide any facility to bulk-export them. Do they honestly expect us to export them one-by-one? Because that is the ONLY way to do it!
I did back up a few key reports with more recent dates (likely to be customized):
Registered Office for Client & Contact.rpt 10/5/2023
Current Client Residential Address.rpt 31/1/2019
Current Client Postal Address.rpt 31/1/2019
Client Registered Office Addresses.rpt 10/5/2023
Clients with Aliases.rpt 4/5/2017
Director ID.rpt 19/2/2024
I figured I'd go ahead with the install of the patch and if there were any issues with these later on, we could spin up a previous backup and export the ones we need.
But it bothers me that under Contacts --> Contact Details, Contact List, Contacts and Clients are all empty (see the attached screenshot). Everything else appears to be as it was. I just don't remember seeing any gaps when I looked through it.
There is Client & Contact Addresses, Client Contact Details etc. under Clients.
Has anyone else had issues or concerns around potentially missing data in these Master Reports?
