To enter historical information about an item

If you haven't already read the Items Overview, see Entering historical information for more information.

The item should be displayed in the Item Information window.

  1. Click the History tab.

  2. Click the zoom arrows at the top right corner of the History tab to display the fiscal year for which you want to enter item history.

  3. Enter purchases and sales information for the item. You can enter an item's history up to the current month of your current fiscal year.

Warning: If you change an item's history

 MYOB AccountEdge uses the figures displayed in the History view of the Item Information window on some reports. If you change an item's history in this window, keep in mind that the change you make may not accurately reflect your actual totals.

Use care when making changes to the amounts displayed in this window. If you make a change and then want to use the previous amount, AccountEdge cannot automatically reconstruct the monthly totals.
