Does any one export data fron GA2 to MYOB Accounts

[SWS Developer]

A transfer of data to MYOB is planned for GA2 with the exported file using the MYOB field names so matching is easier.

At the moment, its pretty difficult to do a transfer into MYOB due to the format of our current exports.

One issue we may forsee with this is how MYOB requires the use of pre-existing Items or Jobs when importing Sales > Service Sales or Sales > Item Sales and therefore think that Sales > Miscellaneous or Sales > Professional Sales would be more appropriate.

Thanks for your reply.

I have almost managed with your current export files, but it is a struggle. For me it is only necessary for some basic fields to be imprted soley for accounting purposes, as i intend to do my management tasks with GA2 now.
I require ; Customer name, Invoice Number, Date of invoice, Vehicle Registration Number, Item Code, Total Amount, VAT

I can make sure that I match the item code that GA2 generates with MYOB stock codes.

I use item sales from MYOB but provided the above info goes in I do not see a problem with other invoice formats.

I just wanted to add a follow up..

I have added an export function to MYOB compatible files and dont mind working on it / tweaking it to suite your needs, perhaps others may benefit from it, Im not expecting it to be 100% first time, since Ive never used or had any experience with MYOB.

There will be an update released shortly, the export at the moment has been added on the CSV export page.

Item Numbers have been added as :

• Labour
• Parts
• MOT Test
• Paint and Materials
• Sundries

There are currently no configuration options available and no payments being exported, it is running via date range and only exports issued invoices.

I have created the export with field names as the first row, matching those in MYOB altough the test setup may differ, you should find it easier to match the fields up.

I would however like to ask, since it may be easier than spending a lot of time trying to figure it out... can you save field mappings, or do you have to go through it manually each time you import, this seems like a huge irritation especially when an import generates errors and needs re-doing again.

I dont mind admitting, I have found MYOB difficult to work with
