    Hi Anne61,

     

    Thank you for your response. 

     

    I understand your concern about the loss of category tracking on the MYOB Business platform. You are correct in your understanding. While transactions are indeed migrated to the MYOB Business platform, it's important to note that this will not include the category tracking code. This is because the category tracking feature is not currently available on the MYOB Business platform. Therefore, while all other data is migrated as is, the category information will not be transferred. I hope this clarifies your query.

     

    Please let me know if you have any other questions or need further assistance.

Thank you for your response.
The loss of Category Tracking that you mention is a worry if that means all my expense and income accounts codings for each transaction are not transferred... Am I understanding you correctly?

...MYOB Business Lite or Pro currently does not feature category tracking, so if you used this function in Account Edge, this category information will not be migrated. To proceed with the migration, you will need a new MYOB Business Lite or Pro subscription with no data file, and our migration team services will move your business online.
