If you upgradeonline, you still get to choose how you work day to day. You can either:
  • work online, so you can work with others on your company file. For example, your accountant can log on and run reports without interrupting your work.
  • work offline (check out your file) so you can keep working if you won't have access to the internet for a while. Or, you might prefer to work offline and go back online only when you want your accountant to access your file. AccountRight gives you that flexibility. 
Switching between working online and offline is pretty easy:

But if you really can't or don't want to work online at all, you can upgrade your file without putting it online.

If you:

  • don't want online access
  • don't have an internet connection, or it's very slow
  • don't have a subscription for an online file
  • or if you operate on a network

you can upgrade the file without putting it online — but this does mean you won't have access to key features. You can still put your company file online at a later date if you change your mind.

Check the following features

Take note if you

can upgrade

If you use these features in your Classic AccountRight (v19 or earlier) software, you won't be able to upgrade to the new AccountRight as these features aren't available in the new AccountRight:

  • M-Powered Payments

  • negative inventory

  • add-

    :

    • Negative inventory -  inventory items can't have a negative quantity or value in the new AccounRight. But if you adjust your inventory quantities and values to zero or greater (in each location, if you use multiple inventory locations), you can turn off negative inventory in AccountRight v19 and it won't prevent you from upgrading.

    • Add-ons that require ODBC. Are your add-ons compatible? Check herethe add-on centre (Australia | New Zealand) or contact the add-on provider to check if the add-on can work with the new AccountRight.

    For more information, see We can't upgrade some Premier files.

    Can't upgrade and need to be compliant for Single Touch Payroll (STP)? If you can't upgrade because you use M-Powered Payments or negative inventory, we've worked with the ATO and you've been granted a deferral from STP.

    the size of your file is 300MB or moreIf your file is 300MB or more in size, you should prepare your company file for the new AccountRight . This can help the upgrade complete faster and smoother.
    the file you want to upgrade is located in a C:\Program Files subfolderYou’ll need to log on to your computer as an administrator before you can upgrade it. For tips on how to find the file you want to upgrade, see How to find your file.

    You'll need to recreate them in the new software version. The good news is we've made customising reports easier. See Customising reports.

    Your customised forms can be migrated into the new AccountRight after the upgrade - so you won't need to customise them again.
