    Hi tonyr2 

     

    MYOB aren't budging on this, insisting it is an ATO security requirement. If the file can't be online for any reason, you might need to think about either not using MYOB or using a 3rd party program like STP Creator for STP Reporting. This works with offline AR2022 files and allows you to complete STP Reporting.

     

    Regards

Hello tonyr2 

 

You'll complete the move to STP Phase 2 online (via a web browser) so you can integrate with the ATO's online services. This is only possible if your company file is online.

If your company file is offline (saved on your computer or a network server), you'll need to put your company file online to move to STP Phase 2.

We have obtained a deferral from the ATO which means you do have until the 1st January 2023 to move the file online and start reporting with STP Phase 2

So i have a number of terminal server files locally and just wanted to confirm....can we upgrade to 2022.5 and keep file offline until January 2023? or will this upgrade force the file online?

    Upgrading the software won't put the file online, so you can upgrade to 2022.5 and keep your file offline until it is required.
    You have to go through the process of putting your file online for it to be in the cloud.

      ChrisMYOB Thanks for your reply. Just with this update I have a couple more questions:

       

      1. Will users doing automatic updates on a terminal server cause issues as they dont normally have administrator rights to install updates? I'm just worried it will cause no end of issues if users start upgrading program files and data files stored on the server.

       

      2. Will files hosted in myobs cloud work in a terminal server environment?

       

      thanks again.

        Sorry for the delay in my response. 

         

        I am unable to say how the server environment will affect the auto-updates. But, users shouldn't have any impact on the auto-updates as it is done automatically.

         

        The cloud file will still work with the server edition.
