In MYOB Accountants Enterprise Reporter, the Practice level components roll forward automatically to the new Reporter Year the first time an individual ledger is opened in that new Reporter Year.

The system rolls forward to the new Reporter Year the Practice Masters for all of the entity types. Once the roll forward of Practice Masters occurs, if you subsequently make changes to Practice level components in a preceding Reporter Year, you need to perform the roll forward manually through Design Practice Reports.
