  2. Follow the instructions from Step 4. above Export returns from Practice Manager.

...

Unless you are setting up a new remote tax ledger, it is not necessary, nor advised, to export Control Information.

In MYOB AE, the defaults are Export Return details and Export Tax Tracking History.

If required, these options are selected at Step 4. above (the Export process):

 

Checkbox

What happens when selected...

Export control information

Exports the control record details, agent's details, Standard answers, user details and so on.

ONLY tick this checkbox if you are setting up a brand new remote tax ledger and transporting data between it and the Practice ledger.

Include user profiles

Exports the user’s configuration. Refer to User Preferences.

Include client details

Exports the client (the billing entity) details for the return. If the Client details are changed, on importing the exported return, the contacts data base will be overwritten with the changes.

Export tax tracking history

(AE)

This allows transfer of the full Tax Tracking (TTS) Event:Step history for the exported Return.

If this option is selected on export, then any TTS history in the destination database is subsequently overwritten with what is contained in the export file, for each Return involved.

If this option is not selected on export, any Event:Step history in the destination database, is retained. Excluding the Event:Step history is of particular use if you are performing the export in a Tax year other than the current.
