Convert MYE to MYOB

Understanding MYE and MYOB file formats

MYE files are export files generated by MYOB accounting software, typically containing transaction data, account information, and other financial records in a text-based format. These files are used for transferring data between different MYOB company files or versions.

MYOB files, on the other hand, are the primary company data files used by MYOB software (such as .myo, .myox, or .dat extensions). These files store all company data, including transactions, contacts, and reports, in a format that can be opened and edited within the MYOB application.

Why convert MYE to MYOB?

Converting an MYE file to an MYOB company file allows you to import exported data into a new or existing MYOB company file. This is essential for migrating data, restoring backups, or consolidating financial records.

How to convert MYE to MYOB file

There is no direct standalone converter for MYE to MYOB file conversion. Instead, the process involves importing the MYE file into the MYOB software, which then integrates the data into a company file. Here’s how you can do it:

1. Open your MYOB AccountRight or MYOB Premier software.
2. Create a new company file or open an existing one.
3. Go to File → Import Data → Accounts/Transactions (depending on the data in your MYE file).
4. Select the MYE file you wish to import.
5. Follow the prompts to map fields and complete the import process.
6. Save the company file. The imported data is now part of your MYOB file.

Best software for MYE to MYOB conversion

Tips for a successful conversion

• Backup your existing MYOB company file before importing.
• Review the MYE file for formatting errors or inconsistencies.
• After import, verify that all data has been transferred correctly.
• Consult MYOB support if you encounter issues during the import process.
