BEFORE you upload your MYOB file to Jet Convert:
ESSENTIAL File Preparation:

- Ensure MYOB is set to the correct GST accounting basis (cash or accrual) [Go to Set up, company information, BAS information].
- Check how your bank accounts and credit cards are set up in MYOB. Ensure you select either our Insight or Accelerate package if you want to change how these will be set up in Xero.
*WARNING: Some banks require credit cards to be set up as bank accounts in Xero in order to connect bank feeds. See here for more information.
- Reconcile Accounts Receivable/Accounts Payable - review the AR/AP detailed reports and ensure all invoices/bills and credit notes are current. Apply all credit notes unless current.
- For NZ clients - we need your GST/IR number to convert the file.
OPTIONAL File Preparation:
- Check that the balances in all reconciled bank accounts and credit cards match the bank statements as of the last reconciliation date.
- Confirm that the Accounts Receivable/Accounts Payable reconciliation report balance matches the balance in the General Ledger.
- Check how non-standard tax codes are treated.
- Ensure all clearing accounts are reconciled to NIL.
- Ensure all bank transactions you want converted are coded.
- Run a verification of the MYOB file. If errors occur, we can fix these for you under our Accelerate Package.
- Check that all employees have an accurate USI/SPIN
