Subject: MYOB Accountright / LinkSOFT Integration for VMS and Full Integration (Similar to Linksoft to JIWA/Epicor)
Summary:    Objective: Build LinkSOFT Integration to MYOB

Agreed on the following:

  1. Setup the API on Link development environment so Link can build the POS Integration
  2. Edge and Datec to Assist with MYOB user functionality as Link does not have MYOB expertise
  3. Standard LinkSOFT Licencing will apply to the Integration. The current licence price is estimated at $1250 per site We will review the cost of integration once we know the effort required to build and maintain the integration
  4. The Integration needs to work similarly to the current JIWA POS integration
  5. Link will use the Standard WEB API to push and pull data
  6. Link will provide VM required to install the SDK
  7. Timeline for the first round of testing is Mid FEB 2020. Link will build this integration for LinkSOFT V11 only (Current version) and will  maintain support for Current Version - 1 for future releases

Email from developers@myob.com

Hi there,
 
Thanks for signing up for the MYOB Developer Program, we’re excited to have you on board and look forward to seeing what you build on our API.
You are now registered and have access to use the API, if you require any extra technical help regarding the API we recommend emailing our API Development team at developers@myob.com, otherwise you can call 1300 555 123 and speak to our phone support.
 
The next steps
 
Shortly (if not already) you will receive an email that creates your my.MYOB login for you. This will have full login and a password setup link in it – follow the instructions to complete that process. (If you already have a my.MYOB login, you can skip this step. Please note that the email you provided on your registration is the email address that will be used)
 
Once you have set up your my.MYOB account, you will be able to log into the my.MYOB website. Here you will find the Developer tab, click on this to register your API key.
 
We have also sent you an invite to access one of our shared AccountRight sandbox files, you’ll need your my.MYOB password to accept the invitation. We set these up with a generic username and password, which you will need if you wish to access this through the API.
Username: Administrator
Password: (leave blank) – yes, it’s a completely blank field so don’t put anything here
 
We have also created an Essentials demo file you can use for your development work. Details are on the Welcome to Essentials email which will be in your inbox shortly.

Email from Pushp confirmed that MYOB integration to LinkPOS is not required. Refer to email: 10th Jan 2020; Subject "How's it going"

"Link POS to MYOB is not required as per Asheel. He does not even remember talking about that." 

We will leave this till later in the year after we complete web translation.

Hi Sanjay,

Thanks for reaching out. The local API is also installed when you install the AccountRight software. If you are using the AccountRight 2019.3 PC edition then the API is installed automatically. If you are using the AccountRight 2019.3 Server edition then the API installer will pop up directly after installing the AccountRight software.

Thanks,
Jacob

      Following areas have been tested

      1. MYOB and Linksoft Integration Setup.
      2. VMS integration for Normal Sales from MYOB.
      3. VMS integration for Returns from MYOB.
      4. VMS integration for Quotation from MYOB.
      I will continue testing on 17/02/2020.

      05 Mar 202003:45PM Comment 18 by Sanjay (Link Technologies) Assigned To: Rashna (Edge Business Solutions) Followup Date: 06-03-2020 03:39 PM Time Taken: 4.00

      To handle a situation where an invoice comes in as VMS to sign and has failed. We flag the status of this entry as "Failed".

      There are two possible outcomes:

      1. Resubmit for VMS processing. This scenario happens when ESDC is turned off or incorrectly configured. The issue is caused when there are no issues with the actual invoice.
      2. Delete the invoice from LinkSOFT. Void the invoice in ERP. This scenario happens when there are invoice related issues, such as invalid tax code, missing invoice information, etc. This issue is caused by invoice data related.

      Users can use the data view or FMS portal to "failed" scenarios.

      This change is relevant to all LinkSOFT API. 

      Next Step: update documentation


      06 Mar 202004:33PM Comment 19 by Sanjay (Link Technologies) Assigned To: Rashna (Edge Business Solutions) Followup Date: 10-03-2020 04:32 PM

      For documentation:

      1. Inventory mode available is Noth MYOB and LinkSOFT. ?When Inventory Mode is MYOB, users can use all MYOB inventory functions.

      18 Mar 202001:28PM Comment 20 by Sanjay (Link Technologies) ETC was changed from 07/02/2020 to 10/03/2020

      Hi Rashna, we have made the following changes in today's build:

      1. Removed MYOB inventory mode as we plan to use LinkSOFT inventory only. Also, MYOB doesn't have a MODIFY date on Inventory making it difficult to load changed Masterfile
      2. Added TRAINING mode on Fiscal Receipt. If the system.Operating.Mode is "Test", all fiscal receipts will be marked as Training
      3. Corrected Reprint behaviour of Quotations and Layby
      4. Cleaned up and refactored
