How to Copy a Ledger 2023 | MYOB Practice Support

Accountants Enterprise only

You are able to copy application ledgers between folders. There are two options available depending on the item selected:

Where a Shortcut is selected, the copy routine creates a link to another location; the source data remains in the original location. That is, only one copy of the ledger exists.
Where an Item is selected, this copy routine duplicates the data so another copy is available in the target folder that you have chosen. Simply right click on a ledger and select Copy then step through the Copy Wizard.

The target folder cannot be the same as the source folder.
