You can personalise your MYOB Accounting Plus company file by entering descriptive information about your company, such as its name, identification numbers and business calendar. In many cases, the company information you enter can be printed on your reports and forms.
Note: Some information about your company can't be changed
When you first created your company file using the New Company File Assistant, you specified a few important details about your company, such as the name of your current financial year and payroll year, the number of periods in your financial year and your conversion month. This information is the foundation of your company file and can't be changed. If you've created a company file with incorrect information that can't be changed, you'll need to create a new company file with correct information to fix the error. |
In the Company Information window, you can make entries that describe your company. You can make changes to the information you enter in this window at any time, as well.
Using the General Payroll Information window, you can enter basic information about your company's payroll administration. You can make changes to most of the payroll information you entered in the past, as well.
Using the Business Calendar window, you can specify which days make up your company's work week, as well as the days of the year on which holidays and important business events occur.
The business calendar is a three-year calendar, made up of the current calendar year, the previous calendar year and the next calendar year.
The business calendar affects the To Do list, which reminds you to perform your tasks on business days only. The work week that you set up in the Business Calendar is the basis for the To Do List's reminders. If a reminder is due to fall on a non-business day, the To Do List will remind you to perform the task on the first business day before the actual day the task is due. For example, if your business is closed on Saturdays but a reminder is scheduled to appear on Saturday, the reminder will appear in your To Do List on Friday instead.
To learn if your transactions are changeable or unchangeable, choose Preferences from the Setup menu, then click the Security tab.
