Configuring a ledger

The three Client Accounting modules - Trial Balance (or Workpapers), Assets and Statutory Reporter are designed to work 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 general ledger data into the Trial Balance or Workpaper period for you to work on.0

If you haven't yet configured a ledger in Client Accounting, you can do so in your client's Client Accounting > Trial Balance (or Workpapers) by clicking Edit Configuration Details on the Tasks bar or, by clicking the Configure a financial data source hyperlink.

You can configure the following MYOB products with Client Accounting:

• AccountRight (2013.0 or later)

• AccountRight Classic (v19 or earlier)

• MYOB Essentials (including Connected Ledgers)
• MAS
• AE Accounts
• AO Classic GL

Each ledger product comes with its own features and benefits so before you jump into a Workpaper or Trial Balance period, make sure the ledger you configure is right for your client's needs.

Click Help me choose in the Client Configuration window and tell us about your client's reporting requirements. We'll recommend the best ledger to use for your client.
