Preparing your MYOB Premier company file for multiple users

When you make entries in MYOB Premier, that information is stored in one file called a company filesee Chapter 1 Getting Started of MYOB Premier User Guide for details on creating a company file. When there will be multiple simultaneous users, the company file should be stored on a host computer where it can be accessed across the network from other Windows workstations. The host computer and workstations must be running Windows 98, Me, NT4 (SP6), 2000 or XP. Note that they do not all need to be running the same version of windows.
Setting up networks needs expert skills Since setting up hubs, cabling computers, and configuring network hardware and software requires expert knowledge, you should employ an expert with the necessary skills. To locate a networking-qualified MYOB Certified / Qualified Consultant near you, visit the MYOB web site at http://www.myob.com.my/ for Malaysia and other countries or http://www.myob.com.sg/ for Singapore. You can also call MYOB on (603) 8991 0166 for Malaysia and other countries or (65) 6479 5779 for Singapore.
NOTE :

The Everyone user group may be a security risk The Everyone user group allows anyone on the network to access the shared company-file folder. If some employees are not authorised to access your accounting data, read Windows help or consult a networking expert to set up more secure access.
NOTE :

Continue with these tasks:

Setting up the network hardware, below

Setting up the network hardware

Unless you are an expert, employ a networking consultant to set up your network hardware. Show the consultant these requirements for the host computer, and the hardware and software requirements for the workstations on page 8.
Networking Windows host Equipment Protocols Local area network (LAN), peer-to-peer Windows 98, Me, NT4 SP6, 2000 or XP Pentium III processor, with 128 Mb RAM, or better Older computers may need a network interface card (NIC) Ethernet (10BASE-T twisted pair cable, shielded or unshielded) or Fast Ethernet (100BASE-TX twisted pair cable, shielded), with Windows networking (NetBIOS, NetBEUI, or TCP/IP)

This section starts from the point where the network is already set up and running. A local area network (LAN) can be set up in many different ways. The procedures in this section describe only the very common scenario of a LAN protected from the external internet by a firewall.
NOTE :

Network access privileges required In a Windows network, access can be set at the domain, group and user level. If you are unable to carry out the procedures in this section because you do not have sufficient access privileges, contact the person who set up your network for assistance.

Now continue with these tasks:

Setting up a Windows host computer, page 15 Accessing the shared company file from Windows workstations, page 18

All users who will need to access the company file automatically belong to the special Everyone user group.This group is used as the default group in these procedures as it simplifies the sharing of a host folder. The members of the Everyone group will be given permission to open, read from and write to the shared company file.

Setting up a Windows host computer

When several users are to work with a company file simultaneously, it must be stored on a host computer to which each user has access. Consider these tips for choosing a suitable host:
!

To share a company-file folder on a Windows 2000 Pro or XP host

This procedure applies to Windows 2000 Professional and XP. If you are using Windows 2000 Standard, see To share a company-file folder on other Windows hosts on page 17. Consult a networking expert or read the Windows help to set up appropriate sharing and access permissions if this procedure does not apply to your network configuration. 1 Log in as an administrator. 2 In Windows Explorer, create a folder named Company_Files in a convenient location, for example, c:\Company_Files. This folder is where the shared company file will be stored. 3 Right-click on the Company_Files folder and choose Properties.

Host the company file on the most powerful computer in the network Users on workstations will enjoy better performance if the company file is stored on the most powerful computer in your networkthe fastest with the most memory. Host the company file on the key employees computer If one employee will use the company file more than anyone else, consider storing the company file on that employees computer. This person will experience better performance from accessing the company file directly, compared with accessing it across the network. Host the company file on a backed-up computer If you store all your important files on a central host that is backed up frequently, it is a good idea to also store your company file on that host. Then the company file will be backed up along with all your other vital data.

Complete the appropriate task to set up a Windows host computer and share a company-file folder:

Type the name that will be seen by users accessing the folder from their workstations, for example, Company_Files. Type a description that users will be able to read in the folders Property window. Note that this option is not present if your network does not have domains or you are logged onto a workgroup

9 Continue with Accessing the shared company file from Windows workstations on page 18.

To share a company-file folder on a Windows NT4 host

To start MYOB Premier from a shortcut to the company file

A fast way to start MYOB Premier and open a company file is to put a shortcut to the program and company file on the Windows desktop. Then you only have to double-click the shortcut to be up and running. If several users are sharing a company file, make sure you have set up a shared company-file folder on a host computer before you begin this proceduresee Setting up a Windows host computer on page 15.
NOTE : Dont create a shortcut only to the company file If you are knowledgeable about shortcuts, you might be tempted to create just a shortcut to the company file. Unfortunately, there are not enough letter combinations to ensure that the .prm file extension is unique to MYOB Premier. So, double-clicking a shortcut just to a company file might start another program that works with a different kind of .prm file.

b Expand Microsoft Windows Network. c Expand the domain in which the host is located, if there are any domains. d Expand the host computer. e If a Connect to hostName window appears, complete the User Name and Password fields, click the Remember my password checkbox and click OK. You should now be able to see the Company_Files folder.
NOTE :

Navigating network folders may not be necessary In some versions of Windows and depending how the network access is set up, all networked computers may be visible in Network Neighborhood (My Network Places) without you needing to navigate network folders.

f Right-click the Company_Files folder and choose Map Network Drive. g In the Map Network Drive window (or wizard), accept the proposed drive letter or choose another, click the Reconnect at logon checkbox, and click OK (Finish). If access to the folder is password protected, a logon window may appear. If a logon window appears, enter the password and click OK. h In Windows Explorer, the Company_Files folder now appears as a network drive under My Computer. For example, you might see the shared folder listed as Company_Files on 'Hongs-pc' (V:). i Open the shared Company_Files folder. You should be able to see the shared company file in it.

1 Right-click an empty area of the desktop and choose New and then Shortcut. 2 In the Create Shortcut wizard, type the path to the MYOB Premier program file (Myobp.exe) in the Command line field (or in the Type the location of the item field) and click Next. Alternatively, you can click Browse to navigate to and select the program file, then click Next. 3 On the next page, type a descriptive name for the shortcut in the Select a name for the shortcut field (or Type a name for this shortcut) and click Finish. 4 Right-click the new shortcut and choose Properties. 5 In the Myobp.exe Properties window, click the Shortcut tab. The Target field displays the location of the MYOB Premier program you entered in Step 2 above, for example, C:\Premier8\Myobp.exe.

In Windows XP Home, open My Network Places, click Add a network place and complete the Add Network Place wizard.

6 Enclose the location of the program file in double quotation marks ("). For example:
"C:\Premier8\Myobp.exe"

If the path to the program file on your computer contains a space (as in C:\Program Files\Premier8\Myobp.exe), the quotation marks ensure that the path is handled correctly when you double-click the shortcut. If you double-clicked this shortcut on the desktop now, it would only start MYOB Premier. You have to modify the Target field so that the shortcut also opens the company file.
V:\

7 In the Target field, type a space after the closing quotation mark ("), then type the location of the company file, including the .prm file extension. The path to this location should also be enclosed in its own quotation marks. For example:
"C:\Premier8\Myobp.exe" "V:\Clearwtr.prm"

If the company file is stored in a remote shared folder, the path will begin with a network drive letter (for example, V:\) but, if it is stored locally, the path to its location typically begins with the C:\ drive letter.

9 Click OK to close the Myobp.exe Properties window. 10 Double-click the shortcut on the desktop to test it. MYOB Premier should start on this workstation and immediately open the specified company file. 11 Repeat Step 1 to Step 10 on each workstation that needs access to the company file.

Fast Start
Thank you for upgrading MYOB accounting software. These instructions refer to MYOB Premier v8 and MYOB Accounting v14, but for simplicity, in most cases the term your MYOB accounting software is used to refer to all versions of the MYOB accounting software unless the feature being described is not available in all three products. In such a case, the text will indicate the products being described. Note that the most recent versions released prior to this upgrade were MYOB Premier v7 and MYOB Accounting v13. Customers will find all the features they are used to-and more-in MYOB Premier v8 and MYOB Accounting v14. To install the new version and upgrade your company files, complete the seven- step upgrade procedure below. To find out more about the technical support options that are available to you, refer to Support and training options on page 37. The Upgrade chapter provides detailed instructions on how to upgradae and register your MYOB accounting software. Fast start summarises these steps. 1 Take a look at some of the new features and enhancements in this version. See Important information for upgraders on page 23. 2 Ensure that your computer has sufficient resources. See Check system requirements on page 26. 3 Install MYOB accounting software.

Chapter 2 : Upgrading from a previous version

MYOB Premier v8/MYOB Accounting v14 asia

Important information for upgraders

Activating a company file
With this upgrade every company file that you use, plus any new company file you create, must be activated and subsequently confirmed by your MYOB accounting software. You have 30 days to do this. You are then reminded every 9 to 12 months to confirm each company file, for the life of the file. For instructions on how to activate and confirm your company file, see Activating and confirming a company file on page 32.

User accounts
Your MYOB accounting software introduces user accounts, a new security measure to control which staff members are allowed to open a company file. User accounts also disallow certain transactions that staff members must not be able to do. For example, if you have set up personal cards to record details about family members, you may want to disallow the editing of these cards by all staff except yourself and another trusted employee. Each account consists of a user ID associated with a unique password. (That is, user IDs and passwords are not separate, as they were in previous releases.) Transaction restrictions are now linked to the user account, that is, to the combination of user ID and password. User account passwords cannot be shared, as sub-passwords previously were. MYOB accounting software records user IDs against transactions as before but only the Administrator can create user IDs. They are no longer created automatically when you log on. The special Administrator account has unrestricted access to all transactions, and can create, edit and delete ordinary user accounts. The Administrator account also permits the administrator to perform other maintenance tasks not available to ordinary users.

Upgraded item sales and purchases

Item sales and purchases that include inventoried items that have been upgraded from a previous MYOB software application CANNOT be edited or deleted. If you need to change one of these transactions, you must first reverse the transaction and then re-enter it with the correct information. For further information on how to reverse a transaction, please refer to online help.

Banking details
You can now enter banking details for any banking account in your MYOB company file. In previous versions of your MYOB accounting software, you were able to enter banking details for one account only.
BANK INFO BUTTON :

The Bank Info button no longer appears in the Company Information window. For more information on setting up bank accounts, refer to MYOB Help.

Upgrading user IDs and passwords

When you upgrade company files, you need to upgrade your user IDs and sub-passwords to become part of your new user accounts. See Upgrading user IDs and passwords on page 34 for detailed instructions.

Main new features

The following section describes the main new features of the software. To view a list of all the new features, see How to view all the new features on page 25.

Banking viewIn this view you can enter your companys banking information for the account. Budgets viewIn this view you can create monthly budgets for a detail account. History viewIn this view you can enter monthly historical balances (for the current year and previous year) for a detail account.

Changes in the Inventory command centre

The Inventory command centre now has the Items Register. The Items Register shows all transactions for all inventory items or a selected item, for a particular date range. Another improvement is the option to click the zoom arrow next to an inventory transaction and access the transaction details (for example, item number, quantity, unit cost, etc.). Also, there are new reports, such as:
!

Changes to reports
Tools for customising reports have been reorganised and simplified. The Report Customisation window now contains all the filters, design fields and additional finishing options. In earlier versions you had to open several different windows, but now all these tools are in a single window with three tabs: Advanced Filters tab, Report Fields tab and Finishing tab.
! !

Inventory Value Reconciliation reportThis report shows the value of the Inventory account at a particular date and lets you reconcile that balance against stock on hand. Items Register Summary report and Items Register Detail reportThese reports show the summary and detail view, respectively, of all transactions for a particular item up to a particular date. They also show the total stock on hand at that particular date.

More report filters are now available. You can create a list of your most frequently used reports, which helps you quickly access them when needed. New Screen Report view option is available. This enables you to format your reports once you have generated them. You can adjust the column widths, re-arrange columns, change the font size and fine-tune the space between the elements of the report (for example, between the report name, company name and address). You can save all the changes you make by creating a new custom report.

! !

Changes to the accounts list (chart of accounts)

The new design of the Edit Accounts window consolidates all the information about an account into one window with five views: Profile viewIn this view you can define the account as a header or detail account, select the account type (for example, asset, liability, equity, income, etc.) and assign the account a unique number and name. Details viewIn this view you can enter a short description of the account and classify the account (this will affect your cash flow reports). MYOB Premier customers can also select the currency, currency exchange account and linked account.

Categorising
In your MYOB accounting software, a category can be assigned to an accounting entry (for example, a sale, purchase, etc.) using the Category field. This allows you to generate reports that are category-specific. A common use of this feature is for departmental accountingyou report on transactions and create financial reports for a specific department.

Appendix B Assistance from consultants

We at MYOB realise that your purchase of MYOB software was based on a careful decision to maintain a dependable record of your company's accounting. After making such a wise decision, you probably also want to ensure your company's accounting information is set up, recorded and maintained properly in MYOB accounting software. If you are looking for local, personalised assistance and advice beyond that which you find in the learning tools in the MYOB accounting software Help Library or from MYOB's support services, you should consider beginning a partnership with an MYOB Certified/Qualified Consultant in your area. Here are some answers to frequently asked questions about members of the MYOB Certified/Qualified Consultants Panel. The panel consists of independent consultants across Asia who have exhibited a certain level of knowledge, skill and experience in our products. Certified/Qualified Consultants have to meet stringent criteria in order to be admitted to the panel. MYOB provides a continual flow of information, resources and knowledge to ensure that Certified/Qualified Consultants are kept up-to-date with the latest product developments, techniques and tips. We support Certified/Qualified Consultants by promoting their services to our users.

Who are Certified/Qualified Consultants?

The panel consists of professionals providing a wide array of services including:
! ! ! ! ! ! !

What is the Certified/Qualified Consultants Panel?

Although MYOB accounting software is incredibly easy-to-use, there has always been a demand from our users for local software experts or consultants to help them implement and utilise our products quickly and easily. All of our users are proficient in running their own businesses, but many lack the time or accounting and computer acumen to automate their manual accounts. Consultants can also help tailor our products to suit the specific requirements of your business. This demand was the catalyst behind the formation of the Certified/Qualified Consultants Panel.

bookkeepers accountants computer consultants trainers value added resellers business advisers management consultants

What services do Certified/Qualified Consultants offer?

MYOB's Technical Support Team works closely with Certified/Qualified Consultants to provide a complete support solution for you as the user of our software products. Our technical support team provide answers to general questions concerning the use of our software via phone, fax and

How can I find a Certified/Qualified Consultant who's right for me and my business?
When choosing a consultant to work with you it is important that you feel comfortable with them and feel that they are the right choice for your business. The following suggestions should help:
! ! !

on-site services demonstrations of the software installing the software analysing the accounting needs of your business customising the software to suit your business bookkeeping services

Read the consultant's business description. Speak to the consultant. Discuss, with the consultant, your business and what sort of help you are looking for. Ask them relevant questions about what they can offer you.

The range of services will differ for each Certified/Qualified Consultant depending on their qualifications and business focus. Certified/Qualified Consultants recommend that, in addition to using their services, you should purchase MYOB Cover Plan so that answers to operational questions are only a phone call away.

Consultants have different levels of experience and qualifications and they offer a varying range of services at different prices so make sure you identify what is important to you.

How do I locate a Certified/Qualified Consultant in my area?

In most areas throughout the region, you will be able to find a Certified/Qualified Consultant who can assist you. There are a number of ways you can find a local MYOB Certified/Qualified Consultant:

What is it like to work with a Certified/Qualified Consultant?

With some up-front preparation, entering a partnership with an MYOB Certified/Qualified Consultant can be an efficient and rewarding experience for your company. Detailed below are some suggestions for working with a Certified/Qualified Consultant. Before the first meeting: To serve you best, a Certified/Qualified Consultant will need to know details about your business, including the products and services you buy and sell, the computer equipment you currently use, the number of employees you have, and your general expectations of a computerised accounting system such as MYOB accounting software. We recommend that you prepare this information before your first meeting with a Certified/Qualified Consultant.

If you have access to the internet, you can find a frequently updated list of all Certified/Qualified Consultants at http://www.myob.com.my for Malaysia and http://www.myob.com.sg for Singapore. If you plan to call MYOB Technical Support with a question about MYOB accounting software, you can ask your Technical Support Representative to provide a list of Certified/Qualified Consultants in your area.

Appendix B : Assistance from consultants

MYOB Premier v8/MYOB Accounting v14 , asia

Be sure the Certified/Qualified Consultant knows everything about your company that you think might be pertinent to a discussion about your company's business activity. (Keep in mind that the Certified/Qualified Consultant will probably be working with your company's confidential financial information when he or she assists you.)

During the first meeting:

!

Review the list of expectations that you created before you set up the meeting to ensure the Certified/Qualified Consultant is prepared to meet your expectations. To get the most return on your investment, designate an employee to answer the telephone at your company when the Certified/Qualified Consultant is helping you. Most likely, a number of issues will arise during your meeting. Be prepared to take notes and write down questions as you proceed through the meeting. Continually review your progress through the meeting, and be sure to keep your goals and objectives in mind while you work. At the conclusion of the first meeting, be sure to schedule and set an agenda for the next meeting immediately.

Create an outline of your expectations, what do you expect a Certified/Qualified Consultant can achieve working with you and your business? Be sure you explain how much time you want to spend at the first meeting. Prepare your questions for the Certified/Qualified Consultant in writing so you are sure you remember to ask everything. Your employees can benefit a great deal from your relationship with a Certified/Qualified Consultant. Be sure to consider their training needs. If your company already employs an accountant, consider discussing the Certified/Qualified Consultant's role with your accountant.
