Are you able to upgrade?

If you use the following Classic AccountRight features, you might not be able to upgrade from AccountRight Classic (v19 or earlier) just yet because these features aren't available in the new AccountRight:

  • M-Powered Payments

  • multi-currency, negative inventory or multi-location stock tracking

  • add-ons that require ODBC. Are your add-ons compatible? Check here, or contact the add-on provider to check if the add-on can work with the new AccountRight. 

MYOB is working on building out features like multi-currency in the new AccountRight. We'll let you know when they're available so you can move.

Can't upgrade and need to be compliant for Single Touch Payroll (STP)? Don't worry, we've got your back. We've worked with the ATO and you've been granted a deferral from STP reporting until 31/5/2019.

 If you can upgrade here's some things to check first

Other things to note

  • To comply with PCI Data Security Standards, you'll only be able to view the last four digits of any credit card numbers in your upgraded file, and card expiry dates won't be retained.

  • After upgrading your company file, you can't "downgrade" the file to use it back in AccountRight v19. Pre-upgraded company files remain accessible by AccountRight v19.

If your file won't be stored online

  • If your file is 100MB or more in size, there are a couple of things you should do in your Classic AccountRight software first. This can help the upgrade complete faster and smoother.

  • If you've linked pictures to cards or item records, note that pictures over 200KB in size won't be imported into your upgraded file.

  • Make sure your card and item pictures are saved in a subfolder called Graphics, in the same location as the file you're upgrading. For example, if the file you're upgrading is located at C:\Plus19, make sure the pictures are in C:\Plus19\Graphics.

Upgrade entitlements and costs

What does it cost to upgrade?  If you have an AccountRight subscription, nothing! You're entitled to upgrade to the latest version for no extra cost.If you don't have a subscription, visit the MYOB website (Australia | New Zealand).

How many company files can be put online? An AccountRight subscription enables AccountRight Basics, Standard and Plus users to put 1 file online. AccountRight Premier subscribers can move two files online.  To buy additional company files or add online services to another company file, please call MYOB on 1300 555 151 (Australia) or 0800 60 69 62 (New Zealand). 

 You can also upgrade additional files without putting them online–but you won't have access to online services for those files. 

Can I upgrade to a different level product? Yes, you can but you can only upgrade files to a higher product level (for example, from AccountRight Basics to AccountRight Plus, or AccountRight Standard to AccountRight Premier). This does involve additional cost—please call MYOB on 1300 555 151 (Australia) or 0800 60 69 62 (New Zealand) for more information.

However, you can explore different product levels for free—see Change which AccountRight product you use.
