Follow

MYOB is an external Finance Package that aXcelerate integrates with and allows you to export financial data to your MYOB account.

 

Users will need the following permissions to utilise this integration:

  • General Settings permissions to be able to setup and configure the integration
  • Finance permissions to be able to add, view, update and delete appropriate financial records in the system
 

Note: Enabling the aXcelerate MYOB integration incurs a one-off $900 + GST fee for aXcelerate Standard accounts. This integration is included at no additional cost for aXcelerate Turbo accounts. If you would like to enable the MYOB integration, please contact our Customer Success Team.

Sync Finance Data

  1. Click the Import Finance Codes tab
  2. Select the Finance Codes you want to import

Note: Finance codes are automatically set to be unique, ensuring that the same finance code cannot be added more than once for reporting purposes. If this is not the case for your Finance Setup as you may utilise multiple cost centre codes, please contact aXcelerate. In this situation, it will also be important to rely on reporting from your external finance package.

 

Warning: When exporting to an external Finance System the Finance Codes must match.
