Updated over a week ago

MYOB (pronounced my-ob) is an Australian tax and accounting software company, that provides a range of products for both small and big businesses as browser-based, cloud-based, or physical installation-based software. An acronym for โ€˜Mind Your Own Business, MYOB was founded in 1991 and has grown to offer a wide variety of business-management services, although primarily focuses on accounting software.

Currently, coreplus is not integrated with MYOB, however, we do currently have a way that you can export your data from coreplus and import it into MYOB.

๐Ÿ›‘ If you didnโ€™t make a backup prior to starting the import process, click Back up in step 10 to make one.

๐Ÿ›‘ If you get a warning or an error message indicating that the import was not successful, refer to the importlog which you can access from the Conclusion step of the assistant. It is more than likely the Account No in the text file presents as Account #, you will need to change this to Account No and try importing again. Any field marked with a * is mandatory so you will have to add them to the text file as well.
