M-Powered Payments > Maintaining MYOB M-Powered Payments > Storing your M-Powered Payments information
Your M-Powered Payments information (such as transactions, bank information and reports) is stored within your company file. When you open the company file, this information is automatically accessed for processing. When you back up your company file, this information is also backed up.
However, if you have a lot of M-Powered information, or you are using your software on a slow network, it may take more than a few moments to access this information. If this is the case, you can reduce the access time by separating your M-Powered information from your company file.
When you separate your M-Powered information from your company file, your M-Powered information will be stored in a Windows file with the extension‘.box’. Note that the functioning of this file requires more maintenance. We strongly recommend that you are aware of these maintenance tasks before you choose this option. (See Maintaining the M‑Powered Services Centre file.)
To separate your M-Powered information from your company file
1
Go to the Setup menu and select Preferences. The Preferences window appears.
2
Click the Security tab and deselect the Integrate the M-Powered Services Centre and MYOB Company File option. An information message appears.
3
Click OK to exit the information message and then click OK to exit the Preferences window. Your M-Powered information is now extracted from your company file into a separate file called M-Powered Services Centre file, which has a ‘.box’ extension.
