As part of the client configuration process, a source of financial data for the client must be selected. The financial data source records the location of the client’s company file on your system. The client’s general ledger data is imported from this file. When the client sends through a new company file, it is this file on your system that is updated and replaced. A warning message is displayed on the Client Accounting > Trial Balance (or Workpapers) tab if a financial data source is not configured for the client. Click Edit Configuration Details on the Tasks bar or click Client Accounting works over either your practice ledger, or your client's MYOB company file. When "configuring a financial data source", you'll be "linking" your practice or client ledger to work with Client Accounting. This allows the system to read and import your ledger data into the Trial Balance or Workpaper period for you to work on. If you haven't configured a ledger in Client Accounting, you can do so from your client's Client Accounting > Trial Balance (or Workpapers) tab. Click Edit Configuration Details on the Tasks bar or the Configure a financial data source hyperlink to configure the client’s financial data source. If you configured a client incorrectly, you can remove the configuration settings, allowing you to start the process again - see Removing Configuration Details from a ledger. The following can be configured as a client's financial data source: Configuring an AccountRight 2013.0 or later file as the data source Configuring an AccountRight 19 or earlier file as the data source Configuring a MAS ledger as the data source (Australia) Configuring an Accounts ledger as the data source Configuring an AO Classic general ledger as the data source Configuring an Essentials general ledger as the data source hyperlink to get started. You can configure the following MYOB products with Client Accounting: Each type of ledger comes with its own features and benefits. Before you enter any data, make sure the ledger you configure is right for your client's needs. | UI Text Box |
