Your company file data can be exported to a tab or comma-separated text file: - Tab-separated files contain fields that are separated by tab characters. For example, if a tab character appears between Brewster and 300 Roundhill Drive in a file of customer information, the file counts Brewster and 300 Roundhill Drive as two separate fields in a record. Tab-separated files are a common export format in spreadsheet programs.
- Comma-separated files contain records that are separated by commas. For example, if a comma appears between Brewster and 300 Roundhill Drive in a file of customer information, the file counts Brewster and 300 Roundhill Drive as two separate fields in a record. Comma-separated files are often used by popular database programs.
If you’re exporting data for use in another company file, you can choose either comma-separated or tab-separated formats. Note that comma-separated is automatically selected during import and export processes. You can export customised forms from one company file to another. For more information, see Exporting and importing personalised forms. Exporting to Accountants OfficeIf your accountant uses MYOB Accountants Office, you can export financial information (including your accounts list, journal entries, BAS information [Australia only], sales and purchases) directly to MYOB Accountants Office as a tab-separated text file.
