In MYOB Client Accounting, you use workpapers to calculate and substantiate balances within accounts. If balances calculated during workpaper preparation are different to the client’s balance, you correct the balances by adding adjustment journals and posting the journals to MYOB Ledger. Any accounts added to the client’s ledger are also exported at this time. When posting the journals and new accounts, the Include previously posted journals option can be used to post all journals including those that have been posted previously. This option can be used if a new company file has been copied to your system, that is, a company file which does not have the previously posted journals. If an Assets register is integrated with an underlying ledger, you can add Assets journal details as an unposted journal in the Workpapers trial balance table. The unposted journals appear in the Workpapers trial balance sheet. The journal can be viewed but not edited until you have posted the Assets journal. | UI Expand |
