  3. The What do you want to sync? section provides options related to the sync process.

    1. Include Years
      This determines what years are updated during the sync process.

      1. All Available is used to do a full sync of all available years.

      2. Current & Previous will reduce the sync time by syncing only the current and previous financial year.

      3. Current will reduce the sync time by syncing only the current financial year.

    2. Include MYOB Budget
      You can optionally sync the MYOB budget into a read only copy in Calxa. Use this option to import your MYOB budget and then copy the data to an editable version in Calxa. See Use your Accounting System Budget in Calxa for more details.
