Related topicsBack to Year End Routine Retain Schedule Data (RSD) OptionsThe RSD routine rolls return and worksheet information from the previous tax year to the new tax year. It can not be run until the Year End routine has been completed. It is most important to proceed through the Tab cards and check that the options in the RSD dialogs are correct. If you perform the RSD procedure on the entire Tax Ledger and the options chosen are not correct for your Practice, the routine needs to be run again. Default RSD optionsTax defaults the options that should be chosen so that your 2017 tax ledger contains as much historical information as possible and MYOB strongly recommends that you accept those defaults. If you have set your own defaults in a previous year, those defaults will be rolled over to 2017. Therefore if you were not satisfied with the results of the roll-over last year then it is strongly advised that you reset the defaults as shown in the following screenshots and read the information below on the function that each option performs. These options function in the same manner irrespective of whether you roll over the whole ledger or just a batch of returns or roll each return as you commence work on it. How to check the RSD options:
INSERTIMAGE Accountants EnterpriseINSERTIMAGE Series 6 & 8You may change these options but if you change Exclude returns not lodged in 2016, returns in their incomplete state, including returns you have not commenced work for in 2016, will be rolled over and subsequent work done in the 2016 ledger will not be in the 2017 return when you open it to do the 2017 work. In order to have any text entered in the 2009 return and to have comparative figures for the previous year, and the 2009 tax paid/refund amounts and PAYG Instalments paid information, you will have to perform the Force RSD routine for each such return. Therefore, we strongly suggest that you do not change this option. Update Forms and Schedules as a batch (AE)If you untick Update forms and Schedules as batch, then only the return that the cursor is highlighting will be processed. Leaving this option checked does not have any effect on those Practices that only roll over returns when they first operate on them. Exclude Returns not lodged in 2016This option applies only to Batch RSD. Many of the returns in your 2016 tax ledger will not have been completed and lodged by the time you start processing and lodging 2017 income tax returns. The Front cover will be rolled over but the tax return proper will only be rolled over when you elect to commence the 2017 work on that return. The alternative would be that you would have to re-enter a lot of standard year-to-year descriptions or ‘force’ the RSD procedure in order to have the up-to-date information correctly recorded in 2017. Exclude generic schedules with no dollar amounts
Rolling blank Generic Schedules from year to year is dangerous! Information that you think is at the return label can be overwritten if you integrate from a schedule or worksheet that has a zero balance. If you roll a blank schedule from one year to the next without reviewing the content in the new year then values imported from a general ledger will be overwritten if integration from the ‘rolled’ schedule occurs. Retain 2016 NotesThis option is set by default so that notes will roll forward. If you deselect the Retain Notes checkbox:
Deselecting this checkbox may be useful in the situation where you have a lot of unnecessary notes being rolled from year to year so as to remove the Notes that no longer apply to your clients. Alternatively, to maintain both types of notes manually select Preparation > Schedule Notes. Refer to Schedule Notes Index. If you need the details of a Note prepared in a previous year, you can open that year and cut and paste the Note into any return as required. Force RSD every return (AE)This option should only ever be ticked where a return has previously been through the RSD process and you have changed the prior year return because of an amendment to it, or you have been instructed to perform the routine again because of a change to Tax. You should never attempt to Force RSD on a lodged return. When you select this option every return that is included in the batch will be overwritten with the immediate prior year return details and if you have already commenced work on any of the returns in the batch, that work will be lost. An example of when you would use this feature other than for a single return is where you are in a position of having to perform the RSD routine again for the entire ledger or for a range or batch of returns. Clear All Selections (AE)Selecting this option will clear every tab on the RSD dialog and will void the entire RSD process. Therefore you would only do it if you wanted a clear screen to make new selections which, of course, could easily be done by unticking a checkbox you did not want and ticking a checkbox you did want. Execute (AE)In order for the RSD process to commence, you must select the Execute option. Click Execute or [Alt+X] to proceed to the next selection screen. Schedule W Roll Over OptionsIt is important to select the Schedule W roll over options for your practice.

This could lead to errors if an amount from the previous year that was not applicable in the current year was overlooked when reviewing the return.

Carry forward capital and foreign lossesThis option should be left ticked so that Capital Losses, Foreign Losses and Excess foreign tax credits are carried forward to the new tax year in their respective categories and classes. Schedule W defaults (Form I only)You should give particular consideration to the Schedule W (ATO Work Related Deductions schedule) options and consider accepting the default of removing it and just using the Tax worksheets unless you have been advised by the ATO that you must lodge this schedule for all clients with work related deductions exceeding $300. If the Practice has more than one ELS lodging Agent and that Agent has been instructed by the ATO to lodge the Schedule W for all taxpayers with work related deductions greater than $300, click the Agent Maintenance button and make the selection for Schedule W rollover for the particular Agent. Agent MaintenanceThis links to the Agents index. Where the practice has more than one Tax Agent and that Tax Agent's details have been attached to certain returns in the Return Properties > Staff tab, the RSD program will search for any special requirements for individual Agents in regard to the coming year. Refer to Agents.
