Customising forms

Forms Overview > Customising forms

Each of MYOB Accounting Plus's forms is unique in the information it provides and the specific layouts it reflects. Depending upon the needs of your business, the forms that are already set up when you begin using Accounting Plus may fully serve your needs.

Note: Decide whether you need to customise the form

Accounting Plus provides an extensive set of well-designed form layouts so you can begin printing professional-looking documents immediately. This set of forms is designed to print properly on MYOB software-compatible business forms. If the Accounting Plus form layouts match your preprinted forms, you don't need to customise your forms.
If the preprinted forms you currently use don't match the form layouts provided in Accounting Plus, you'll need to customise the form layouts for each form that doesn't match your preprinted forms.

You may, however, occasionally find the need to make changes to specific forms to better accommodate your business needs. You can modify the look and content of individual forms in many ways. You can choose the types of information you want on your forms, design the way you want your forms to look, add graphics to enhance the appearance of your forms, change fonts and styles, draw lines and shapes, and select the size of the paper you'll print your forms on. In other words, there's little you can't do if you're customising your forms.

Note: If you've created custom forms using a previous MYOB product

If you've created custom forms using a previous MYOB product, you may not be able to display and print them using MYOB Accounting Plus Version 11. Because of the addition of new forms fields, changes of field names or changes to the length of information that will be displayed and printed for a field, you may need to recustomise those forms.
