AE/AO Client Accounting 5.4.34 update for new Essentials (Australia & New Zealand)

Release date—23 April 2020

Release notes

We've made some changes to MYOB AE/AO Client Accounting so we can support our new Essentials ledger.

  • We've updated the products you can choose when you're configuring a ledger or editing a configuration. Select Essentials (pre March 2020) or Accountright/New Essentials from the drop-down depending on what ledger you're using.
  • If you've got an Essentials ledger and see a message like this, you won't be able to post a journal unless you change the journal date or change the ledger's lock date in MYOB Essentials.
