Summary of content
To help you master the key software features that are tested
in our software accounting practice sets, we have
organised our learning resources into sections. The sample company file provided with
your MYOB software (Clearwater Pty Ltd) is used to illustrate the concepts and tasks that are
covered in the sections below:
-
Software.
This section provides instructions on how to install your MYOB software,
set your computer to use Australian dollar and date formats,
as well as how to back up your company files and restore them should you ever need to do this.
- Getting started.
Once you have obtained access to your MYOB software, if you are lost as to where to
start, we recommend reading this section that introduces you to the
windows-based user interface that is used in this software. Here you will also
find instructions on how to create a new company file and
display customised reports in your MYOB software.

the general journal in your MYOB software.

Helpful Hint!
Note that if you are completing one of our
software accounting practice sets, you are asked
to perform the following tasks:
Create a new company file.
For instructions on how to create a company
file, see the
Create a new company file
topic in the Getting started section of this
Learning Centre.
Record transactions.
Instructions on how to record transactions are also provided in different sections of
this Learning Centre. For instructions on how to record a transaction, you first need to identify the
appropriate transaction type and locate the
detailed instructions for that transaction type in the appropriate section of the
Learning Centre. For example, if you are looking for instructions on how to
record a sales order, go to the Recording a sales order
topic in the Sales section of this Learning Centre.
Navigating the Learning Centre
There are many ways to navigate the Learning Centre. One way is to use the menu
bar that is displayed on the top left side of this page. Notice that there is an
arrow symbol ‘>’ next to some of the section links such as Troubleshooting.
This indicates that each
of those sections contains further pages with more detailed instructions about
the topics being taught.
Note that you can expand this menu bar by clicking the arrow symbol ‘>’
that is shown next to some of the section links such as Troubleshooting.
Clicking the arrow symbol next to a particular section will result in the menu bar displaying a
