Migrating AccountEdge multi-currency to Business Lite

I have a small online store (it sells paper notebooks in the iPad age…) that has been using AccountEdge since around 2009.  I buy stock in Euros and have used the multi-currency feature for purchases...

    Hi RazzDazz, 

     

    Bit of a tricky one, because your AccountEdge file has used multi‑currency, our migration team can’t move that file into MYOB Business/Lite at all, even if it’s only a few Euro purchases. There’s no supported way to strip those out, so it’ll fail migration checks.

    Realistically, you’ve got two paths:

    • Keep multi‑currency → move to AccountRight Premier (Windows), which does support multi‑currency and lets you keep your history.
    • Go simple and cheap with Business Lite → start a brand new Lite file, bring in just your lists (accounts/customers/items) and AUD opening balances, and keep the old AccountEdge file just for looking up history.

    Regards,
    Genreve

Well, that's a fly in the ointment..

My standard workflow imports the following as CSVs from my online store once per quarter:

  • Invoices
  • Invoice payments
  • Spend Money purchases

I also export a CSV with the stock-on-hand figures via the inventory report.  

 

Please tell me what product will support this.  Can I get away with business pro?

I'm starting to feel like spreadsheets are easier...

Thanks for your help, 

Razz

Hey RazzDazz,

 

You’ve mapped out your imports really clearly. AccountRight is the better match because it handles those CSV imports properly, while Business Pro would feel too tight for what you’re planning to do. You can check the inclusions for each product here to compare them side by side. If anything feels unclear with the products, you can reach out to our team through this link.

 

Cheers,

Doreen
