One of the reasons your journal import may be skipped is the use of “Header Accounts” in Chart of Accounts Mapping.

MYOB has two account types: Header Accounts and Detail Accounts. Header Accounts are collections of various Detail Accounts (eg. Phone, Electricity, Gas) under one common grouping (eg. Utilities). Header Accounts are not able to have transactions recorded against them directly and if any should be included in your Chart of Accounts mapping, it will cause the entire import to be skipped.
