You can find more details about these items in the following sections.

Business Date and Time

By default, in MYOB Acumatica, any user can change the business date by clicking the Business Date menu button and then selecting the needed date. If the Secure Business Date feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form, only users with the BusinessDateOverride role assigned to them can change the business date. The business date is the date that the system will insert by default on the records that you add to the system. By default, the current date is set as the business date. If you set a different date as the business date, this date will be used as the default date on MYOB Acumatica forms and on documents that you create by using the forms. For details on changing the business date, see To Change the Business Date in the MYOB Acumatica Getting Started Guide.

Open Help Button

By clicking the Open Help button, you can open the Help menu, which overlaps with the working area. The content of this menu depends on the item displayed in the working area when you click this button. For a detailed description of Help capabilities in MYOB Acumatica, see Help.

User Menu

The User menu button displays your first and last name, and the name of the tenant to which you signed in if multiple tenants are configured in your MYOB Acumatica instance. The following screenshot shows the items of the User menu.
