  3. FAQ

When to use it:

You’ll want to connect your MYOB AccountRight account to Fergus when you first sign up, this will ensure both systems are aligned and sync’d from the get go.

How to use it:

1. Connecting Fergus to MYOB AccountRight

In Fergus, go to Settings, open the Integration Centre, and click MYOB.

The first thing you need to do is connect Fergus to your MYOB account. Click the blue "Connect to MYOB AccountRight" button to start, this will load the MYOB login screen.

Note: If your browser is using a pop up blocker you will need to allow MYOB, otherwise you won’t be able to see the MYOB login screen.

Signing into MYOB AccountRight:

Sign into your MYOB account using your username and password.

MYOB will ask you to authorise Fergus to access your account.

2. MYOB Settings

Now that you're connected, you'll need to specify which accounts Fergus will sync with.

Use the dropdown menus to select which MYOB accounts you use for Purchase Invoices, Supplier Credits, Rounding Tax Input Adjustments and Rounding Tax Output Adjustments:

3. Setting MYOB Sales Accounts

To get you up and running, Fergus has created two Sales Account Codes: Material Sales, and Labour Sales (this allows you to split your Materials and Labour when reporting). Select the MYOB Accounts you wish to use for each of these.

Your new invoices will automatically sync across, and you can import your customers from MYOB by following our article Importing Customers.

4. Setting MYOB Sales Accounts

Sending invoice PDF attachments to MYOB ensures that your accounting software remains the single source of truth for all your expenses. This feature also allows you to view detailed information about invoices received from your suppliers in both Fergus and MYOB. We highly recommend enabling this option.

5. FAQs

  • Why haven't payments allocated to older invoices synchronised?

    Due to limitations with the MYOB integration, Fergus won't pick up payments allocated to invoices over 6 months old. You'll need to manually assign payments to such invoices in Fergus.

    While we would like to extend this period, given the current integration limitations this is the longest period for which we can monitor payments.

  • How long does it take for invoices to sync from MYOB to Fergus after an update is made to the invoice?

    Invoices from MYOB sync every twelve hours, specifically at 2 AM and 2 PM. The sync will only include invoices that have been modified within the last 24 hours.

  • Can I import my customer list from MYOB?

    Absolutely. Our help article for Importing Customers covers importing from MYOB.

  • What if I haven't made my company file available online?

    You'll need to open the AccountRight desktop application and click File > Go Online:
