Please develop an export/import facility between LiveAccounts and AccountRight Live. It shouldn't be that hard.
"Upgrade Path LiveAccounts to AccountRight Live"
Finding it hard to believe that Essentials is quite such a backward step from Accountright...
Particularly painful is the absence of an import for my existing chart of accounts but actually need to have the history going back 7 years to meet legal compliance and I started with MYOB in 2006 so having the whole history would be ideal.
The process for importing and updating the data is a time-waster for a small business owner...
Two options are apparent:
- MYOB convert and import the data.
- MYOB provides the tools to undertake a clean update of the system.
What seems to be missing is a way to do the trial balances and confirmation that the allocation is correctly set when comparing old data with new...
Currently a bit underwhelmed by the experience and not yet using my Essentials account but still paying for it!......

Vote and comment added in the other idea...
In the absence of a tool, what help is on offer from MYOB???
Cheers

Thank you for casting your vote and your feedback on that other idea.
If you are going from AccountRight to Essentials you can export out your Customers, Supplier and Items out of AccountRight for import into Essentials.
For more information into exporting data out of AccountRight please see Help Article: Exporting data
For more information into importing that data into Essentials please see Help Article: Import - ExportXero are offering free migration of existing accountright customers and their data to their product.
How can MYOB help to retain me as a customer, the absence of a tool (promised in March last year) means I've wasted several months of subscription to MYOB and there is no real answer other than spending more time (= more money) to migrate from one version of MYOB to the next....
Hi DoomGoblin
Thank you for your feedback.
Our developers are investigating and working on building a reliable tool to migrate data across.
