Chart of Accounts 4 Digits to 5 Digits
Hello,
My chart of accounts is currently set up with 4-digit codes (e.g. 6-1234). I’d like to change this so that I can use 5-digit codes under expenses (e.g. 6-12345).
From what I’ve fou...

Hi adzcas!
The number of digits for account codes in MYOB is set when you create the company file. It can’t be changed later.
When setting up a new company file in MYOB Business or AccountRight, you can select:
Numeric account codes only
The number of digits (usually 4 or 5)
Once the file is created, this setting is locked.
If you need to move from 4-digit to 5-digit codes, the only option is to create a new file with the correct setting and then migrate your data. This process usually involves exporting and importing lists and balances, or using a migration service if you need full history carried over.
Thank you, feel free to reach out if you need any further assistance.
