The information icon


The information icon  is there to help you understand the purpose of a particular field on the screen or the reason behind a data source connection failure.

In order to retrieve that information, you need only hover your mouse over the icon and the message will appear in a tooltip like so:



or, for example, if a connection to MYOB failed, it would appear like so: 



The Export Settings tab


Feature Number Description
1 The Tax Exempt MYOB Tax Code to use for each sale line, where no tax is applicable.
Please note: This tax code MUST exist in your MYOB file in order for the Invoice Export to succeed.
2 The Tax Inclusive MYOB Tax Code to use for each sale line, where tax is applicable.
Please note: This tax code MUST exist in your MYOB file in order for the Invoice Export to succeed.
3 The MYOB Sale Layout used when exporting Sales to MYOB.
Please note: The System only supports Service and Professional layouts.
4 The MYOB Sale Document Type (i.e. Quote, Order, Invoice) used when exporting a Sale to MYOB.
5 The invoice number suffix which will be appended to Harvest Invoice numbers. While this field is not mandatory, it is strongly recommended that you specify one.

The reason for this is to maintain the natural numerical sequence of Invoice numbers in your MYOB database, and avoid any invoice number clashes. For example, if the most recent Invoice Number in your MYOB File is #00000100 and you export a Harvest Invoice with ID 4, then the next Invoice Number that MYOB will automatically allocate to your invoices will be #00000005, instead of #00000101. There may already be an invoice number #00000005 in your MYOB file which means that another invoice with a previously-used invoice number may be exported. MYOB currently does not stop you from entering previously-used invoice numbers.

By specifying a suffix like "A" (for example), a Harvest invoice with ID 22 will import as the alpha-numeric "22A", and the current numerical sequence of MYOB invoice numbers will remain unaffected.
6 The Job Number1 of the MYOB Job you wish to use for all exported Sale Lines.
7 Tick this box if you wish for the MYOB Integration to automatically create new Customer Cards of Harvest clients which do not exist in your MYOB File.
Please note: if you leave this box un-checked, and a Harvest client does not exist in MYOB, the export process will not export any invoices for this client.
8 Tick this box if you wish for the MYOB Integration to automatically update existing Customer Cards of Harvest clients.
9 Selecting this option will instruct the System to use the Income GL Account of the Customer Card2 linked to the Harvest client for all Sale Lines.
10 Selecting this option will instruct the System to use the Income GL Account specified in the box provided.


The Job number refers to the "Job Number" field outlined in red below:

The Job Number you select must be marked as a "Detail Job" in MYOB, as circled in red.




The Income GL Account linked to the Customer Card can be found in the "Selling Details" tab of the MYOB Customer Card, as per the outlined field below:
