To get the best out of your MYOB Advanced software (powered by Acumatica), it is important that your system is up to date. Here you can find information about the MYOB Advanced version history and the latest upgrades available which include the latest features.
Upgrades for MYOB Advanced (powered by Acumatica) happen automatically. Approximately once a month an overnight process will upgrade the site with a minor release. As a result, you don’t need to do anything.
Once a year there will be a generational upgrade and we will be in touch regarding when this will take place and what new features will become available. For these upgrades, we will liaise with you on whether you want to test the new features in a sandbox environment plenty of time before it is due to take place.
