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.

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.
