Configuring a ledger

Client Accounting works 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 ledger data into the Trial Balance or Workpaper period for you to work on. If you haven't configured a ledger in Client Accounting, you can do so from your client's Client Accounting > Trial Balance (or Workpapers) tab. Click Edit Configuration Details on the Tasks bar or the Configure a financial data source hyperlink to get started.

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 type of ledger comes with its own features and benefits. Before you enter any data, make sure the ledger you configure is right for your client's needs.
