IMPORTING DATA FROM 2 SEPARATE PROGRAMS
We would like to be able to import data (sales & purchases) from two separate programs, - basically the programs are the very similar but we are running a smaller business within our main business and need to keep the entities separate, but we only want one set of figures from MYOB (we will use a job code or a category to separate for reports in MYOB) up until now we have just created separate GL codes but it isn't how we want it, and would like to implement this July 1 - I have used MYOB for many years but haven't come across this before - is it possible?
Hi GCI
From an MYOB point of view, data can be imported into an AccountRight company file through two methods:
- Manually by the user using the File>>Import/Export Data Assistant. This process allows the user to take a formatted text file and import that into AccountRight. Our Help Article: Importing data has more information on that process.
- If you are using a third-party app, that particular app may allow integration with the AccountRight API. An API is the connection point between two product, in this case, AccountRight and the third-party product. I would recommend speaking with your third-party provider to see their software will integrate with AccountRight API. Should they require more information on the AccountRight API it can be found at on Developer Centre
From a company file point of view, data can come from multiple sources you would just need to ensure that you have the correct format for the manual import OR configure the third-party program to send to the correct AccountRight file.
