In MYOB Accountants Enterprise MAS (AE MAS), you may need to refresh budgets once you perform a year-end or upgrade because the budget figures no longer appear within reports.
There are three ways to refresh the budgets within AE MAS.
- Change the status of the budget. For example, from Current to Other, and then back again.
- Run the MAS Special Routines.
- Export the budgets, remove the header for the budgets, re-create the header and import budgets back in.
If one option doesn't correct the problem, try another method of refreshing the budgets.
