Common Mistake
- One of the most common errors is to enter the date in correctly. Though the student does not have any intension to enter the date in correctly it can happen. 11108 by default enters the current date. However the accounting 31108 assignment has transaction dates which relates to 2012. So this is a trap for the student and it is nay likely that a wrong date is entered Thus student should double check the date before entering it in to the system.

Go to the DATE SETTING on your computer to see thefennel of the date. Ensure that this is In the format DATE-MONTH-YEAR. If it is not in this format, then you. hould change the. etting to this format, or else remember that it is not in this format. before entering any information. A common problem for students is assuming that the date setting on their computer will be DAY-MONTH-YEAR. However, it mar be set as MONTH-DAY-YEAR and finding that transactions attempting to be entered on 13/7/2009 will not be accepted. Li the first students know that their computer is set to the date setting MONTH-DAY-YEAR. At that stage there is no alternative burro start over again. losing all transactions entered To set your computer so that DATE-MONTH-YEAR date format are used for your format-1101M go to Control Panel and then to Regional and Language Options and change to DATE-MONTH-YEAR date formal I To set your computer. o that dollars are used for your transactions, go to Control Panel and then to Regional and Language Options and change to DOLLAR (Australian format)

Enter opening balances as positive numbers. Don't, for example. enter your liability account balances as negative numbers. Enter negative amounts only if accounts truly have negative balances. As a rule, these will be asset accounts that record accumulated depreciation. For example you have to enter the opening balance of the trial balance (page 271. The trial balance has two columns (debit and edit) The. cree of MYOR balance has one column. Please enter -275, 4,410, -3830. -11,940 in asset category and also enter -3.790-21,500 in liability categoos Please refer to 3rd, 4th and 5th paragraphs of page 26 for detailed explanation.

- When you creating Purchase or Sales invoices in MYOB, there is a tick box asking you whether the invoice is Inc. or Eve. GST, also when loading in price for products. it is another common mistake for students to forget to tick or untie& the in the tick box, based on the information of the book.

You have entered an invoice twice in MYOB and closed both of them. You need to find our how to delete one of them. )bu are finding it difficult because its already closed. Have to delete the payment that dosed the invoice first. ifyou are looking at the invoice click on history then delete the line entry that has the payment that closed the invoice. Once you delete the payment. you will be able to delete the invoice.
