Asset register in browser only

In MYOB Practice, you can import assets into the asset register from a CSV file that you exported from another system. You can only import one CSV file per import session.

Prepare to import

Open the file using Microsoft Excel (or your preferred spreadsheet software) to check the format and amend according to the CSV file format.

We've created a template to help simplify the import process. Download this CSV Template file and open the file in your preferred spreadsheet software (e.g. Microsoft Excel). This template doesn't contain any data, so you can add your own.

While you don't need to complete all the fields for a successful import, make sure you don't delete any unused columns, or rename any column headings.
