Negative format will change when print out

For the AccountRight, our computer setting is "-1" and when we look at the MYOB screen it shows "-1" as well. But when we print out the form, it was changed to "(1)". How to fix it?

    Hey Sabrinaguo,

     

    In MYOB, when you see "-1" on the screen but it prints as "(1)," it indicates a negative value. The parentheses are a common accounting convention used to denote negative numbers in printed forms. You can still change this by going to:

     

    • Control Panel.
    • Select Clock and Region.
    • Click Additional settings.
    • Negative number format.

     

    Best regards,

    Doreen

  • Hi Doreen

    thank you for your message. Our computer setting is -1. We changed it already but still print out (1)

      Hi Sabrinaguo,

       

      If you're still experiencing this issue, you need to reach out to our live chat support through our virtual assistant MOCA or submit a case via MyAccount.
