    Hi Deanne001,

     

    Thanks for your post.

     

    My apologies for the late response. Here are the steps to import bank statements into AccountRight before bank feeds start:

     

    • Download the bank statement from your internet banking website. Save the bank statement as a QIF file. If you have a choice of date formats, choose dd/mm/yy. For instructions on how to download bank statements from your bank, refer to the help on your online banking website.
    • Nominate a bank account: From within AE/AO, navigate to your client's Client Accounting > Trial Balance (or Workpapers) tab. Click Settings, and from the drop-down menu, choose Account List. Click on the bank account you wish to import the bank statement to and select the bank account checkbox.
    • Import bank transactions: Click Banking, and from the drop-down menu, choose Import bank statement. Select the bank or credit card account to import transactions to. Click the Import button. A file window appears.
    • If the import is successful, the View and match transactions page appears, displaying the status of the import and the imported transactions. Allocate these transactions to the appropriate account.

    For more detailed instructions, you can refer to this article: Importing a Bank Statement into the MYOB Ledger.

     

    Please note that the process might vary slightly depending on your specific version of AccountRight and your bank's procedures. If you encounter any issues, feel free to reply.

     

     

     

    Kind regards,

    Shella
