You may experience the situation where specific addresses or no addresses are transferring from MYOB AE Practice Manager to tax returns.

This is usually caused by an issue with the MYOB Administration Centre, or with incorrectly named variables in the system under the Maintenance menu.

In order to resolve this, check the addresses variables; restart the services within the MYOB Administration Centre and then perform a Resync for the relevant clients.

Addresses may not flow through to the Tax return for the following reasons:

Return is completed or lodged

If your tax return status is Completed or Lodged, changes to the address will not flow through to the tax return. You can edit the status of the return to In Progress for the address to flow through. See Changing the status of a tax return or form on how to edit the status of the tax return.

Front Cover field is set to N

In the Front Cover of the tax return, Use Client address? is set to N.

State format is incorrect

The State on addresses integrated to a Tax return must be entered in abbreviated format, for example, ACT, NSW, WA, SA, VIC, and TAS. The full state name will not integrate properly and errors will be visible in the MYOB Administration Centre window and recorded in the IntegrationMonitor.log file eg Address '<client address>", has an invalid Australian State/Territory. Valid states/territories are NSW, VIC, SA, QLD, WA, TAS, NT, ACT.

Edit the address in AE Practice Manager with the correct State format for the address to correctly display on the tax return.

Incorrect Configuration settings based on Address Types

To check the configuration settings and Address Types

In AE Practice Manager, follow the menu path: Maintenance > Address/Phone > Address Type. The Address Type page appears.
Make a note of the syntax for the Home, Postal, Delivery, Registered and Business addresses.
From the Maintenance > User Defined menu, select Configuration. The Configuration page appears.
Check that the Key Value for each Key Name matches an Address Type noted at step 2 above. If the Key Value does not exist in the Address Type page, either edit the Key Value to a valid Address Type or add the Address Type.

The table below lists examples of standard Key Values. The Key Value must match the address type at step 2.

Key Name	Key Value
CDSBusiness	Business
CDSDelivery	Delivery
CDSHome	Home
CDSPostal	Postal
CDSRegistered	Registered

These entries are case sensitive and there should be no spaces entered for the KeyName.
