Migrating MYOB AE Assets 2.4 data

You need to migrate from AE Assets to Client Accounting one ledger at a time, so we recommend creating the asset register as you migrate the ledgers.

Migrating brings across:

taxation and accounting data for general assets and pooled assets
the location association type
sub-assets (migrated as general assets)

If you have other, special transactions that aren't migrated, you may need to split these into multiple asset items after migration. For example, part sold assets can be split into shares. You can view the detailed list of Handling special transactions.

Before you begin

Make sure...

you're running AE Assets version 2.4 or higher
the assets register you're migrating has a year end of 2013 or later
your client doesn't have an asset register in Assets Live
AE Assets is closed for your client.
