Troubleshooting connecting to MYOB via Integrations

The MYOB integration is a must-have productivity boost for anyone working with MYOB AccountRight Live. But sometimes things don't work the way we expect. If you encounter a problem, use this guide to help you get things working properly.

The best advice we can give is to ensure when accessing an MYOB company file via the Castaway integrations process:

• the company file version matches an MYOB version you have installed
• you have installed the specific AccountRight API (for the server edition) or AccountRight Addon Connector (for the PC edition) for that version of MYOB
• you have the correct login details for the file you are trying to access
• when accessing Online files, ensure you have the correct MYOB account login details, as well as any file-specific login details (unless the file has already been associated with your myMYOB credentials)
• ensure you have sufficient access permissions in that specific file to access the account data that Castaway is looking for
