MYOB
Overview
Before you begin posting your simPRO transactions to MYOB AccountRight Live, you need to enable the accounting link in simPRO.
When transferring data between simPRO and MYOB, remember that:
- All names used in MYOB are case-sensitive when linking to simPRO, which means that all names in simPRO and MYOB must match exactly before transferring any data to prevent duplication.
- You cannot post transactions from simPRO to header type accounts, which are bolded in your accounts list in MYOB.
- You cannot post to an account marked as inactive in MYOB.
- You need to enter the account number, not the account name, when setting up simPRO and the accounts it links to in MYOB. You can access account numbers in your chart of accounts in MYOB.
Integration with simPRO is only supported for MYOB AccountRight Live. MYOB Essentials is not supported.

Customer and supplier cards
All customer and supplier cards must have a tax code and a freight tax code set up under theirSelling / Buying Detailstab. These are set up in MYOB underSetup > Preferences > Sales / Purchases > Terms.
Category tracking
If you have category tracking turned on in simPRO and in the accounting integration setup, this creates a category in the category list in MYOB. If the category name already exists in MYOB and matches the simPRO category reference, this uses the existing category rather than creating a new one. The category name is case sensitive.
