You can easily connect your Dext account with MYOB AccountRight Live to publish your Costs and Sales documents directly from Dext to MYOB.
Before you start
To integrate with MYOB, make sure:
You have the Admin role in Dext.
(If not, contact your account administrator or accountant.)Your MYOB user is set to sign in with a my.MYOB account.
This is required to complete the connection.
You can check this in MYOB by going to Setup > User Access, selecting your user, and ensuring the box “This user will sign on with a my.MYOB account” is ticked.
If this isn’t enabled, or if your user doesn’t have online access, you’ll see an error message that says: “You must be an Administrator to connect. Contact your Administrator.”
To learn more about how to give a user online administrator access in MYOB, see MYOB’s guide on managing user access levels.
