Assignment title: Information


Students must purchase a MYOB Practice Set – "Sports Station". The practice set is to be completed using MYOB Accountright Plus v19. This Practice Set and software, must be either purchased or be accessible in order to complete this assignment. The practice set will be available for purchase from the CQUniversity Bookshop. It is each student's responsibility to have access to MYOB Test Version 19 - this is also available in computer laboratories at each CQU campus. Do not assume that the Test-Drive Versions 18 and 19 will be compatible. When you start your assignment, it is advisable to work through it entirely on one version. System requirements To install MYOB Accounting software on your personal computer you will need access to a computer with these minimum requirements: · Windows 2000, Windows XP or Windows Vista. (Note this practice set will not work on Macintosh) · Pentium Processor at 200 MHz or higher · Minimum 200 MB of Hard Disk Space · Mouse- highly recommended- many keyboard controls are also able to be used · CD-ROM Drive · Monitor – 16 bit colour with 800 x 600 resolution · Windows compatible printer. A local or network printer is required to print reports. Prior to Starting the Assignment Dates on Computer Go to the DATE SETTING on your computer to see the format of the date. Ensure that this is in the format DATE-MONTH-YEAR. If it is not in this format, then you should change the setting 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 may be set as MONTH–DAY-YEAR and finding that transactions attempting to be entered on 13/7/2012 will not be accepted, is the first students know that their computer is set to the date setting MONTH–DAY-YEAR. At that stage there is no alternative but to start over again, losing all transactions entered. Language on Computer To set your computer so that dollars are used for your transactions, go to Control Panel and then to Regional and Language Options and change to English (Australian). Moodle Prior to starting your assignment you should go into Moodle and read all the information relating to the MYOB Assignment. Reading Prior to starting this assignment, students should read all notes in the Practice Set. Failure to be aware of this information cannot be used as a reason for requesting an extension on this assignment. The accompanying CD ROM contains not only the student version of MYOB AccountRight Plus v19, but also important user guides. You should review the MYOB Student Edition Guide and also the AccountRight Plus v19 Guide before attempting the transactions in the workbook. Training for the use of MYOB Pages 1 through 68 of the Practice Set is dedicated to training students how to use MYOB v 19. Even if you have used MYOB before, it is required that you complete these pages of the Practice Set. Time Management It is possible you will have other assignments due in Week 8. This will not be a reason to request an extension for this assignment. You need to manage your time so that all assessment is completed by the due dates.
