Hi Wazza1,
Thank you for reaching out with your question about updating the "Income Account" for past sales, and welcome to the MYOB Community Forum.
To change the income account of the past sales, you can do the transferring of money between accounts. It's the easiest way on how to apply the past sales to the new income account. To do this, you can click here for more information as well as the detailed steps.
Feel free to post again anytime if you require further assistance.

Best regards,

Hi Wazza1
I am unclear on what you are seeing in your last 2 posts, however changing a setting in MYOB typically only applies to transactions recorded after the change. Existing transactions are not affected.
Rather than adjusted past sales, it might be easier to do a general journal to transfer the value of the past sales from one income account to another - that should solve the P&L display issue.
Regards

Thanks Gavin, you have confirmed what I now understand but I was hoping for a much easier way to achive what I was after. To identfy the sales and prepare the JNL for F2024 I would need to work through an estimated 12,000 to 15,000 sales to pick out the ones that are affected by this and then prepare the JNL. I was hoping there would be a much easier way than that.
It feels like it would be a very simple programming task to make the change go forward and backward to the last roll over date. Obviously that's what I was hoping for. I was hoping it would be just a matter of ticking a box somewhere.
