MYOB Accounting, AccountEdge, and AccountRight Import dialog fields

Depending on the version of MYOB that you are importing from, some of the fields and options may be disabled.

Field	Description
Use specific period	The period number to be used by Working Papers in the import. When importing Trial Balance, this option imports the balance amounts into the specified period as year-to-date balances. Existing opening or other period balances are not overridden. With this option not selected, balances are imported into the opening balance column. The specific period applies only to the current year balances; all prior year and budget balances import regardless of period. When importing General Ledger Details, if you specify a period, only those journal entries dates in the specific period are imported. With no specific period indicated, opening balances and all transactions come in. Note: Account properties are brought in as part of the import.
Select File	The export file name (.txt).
Set accounting period to yearly	Sets the accounting period to yearly. When importing yearly, this option is disabled.
