Setting up assignment templates | MYOB Practice Support

Accountants Enterprise only

In MYOB Accountants Enterprise Practice Manager (AE PM) Assignment templates can be created so that the Practice has a standard set of assignments that can be added to clients.

Assignment templates are the most common way to add a new assignment.

Assignment Templates are linked to an Assignment Type so that the assignment properties are defined automatically.

At least one assignment must be associated with a client before time or disbursements can be recorded for the client. You can either create a custom assignment template specifically for the client or attach an existing assignment template to the client.
