  • You can publish transactions directly from Dext to MYOB.

  • To avoid publishing issues, review your default settings in
    Business settings > Connections > MYOB > Settings.

  • To ensure accuracy, set default tax and freight rates in Business settings > Connections > Accounting software (MYOB) > Manage button > Settings. If no tax rate is set on an item, these defaults will be applied automatically.


Troubleshooting connection issues

If you can’t see your business during authorisation or the connection fails:

  • Confirm you’re signing in to the correct MYOB Essentials account.

  • Make sure you have permission to connect apps for that business.

  • Try disconnecting and reconnecting from Business settings > Connections.
