Things to set up prior to commencing...

Timezone

The Company’s Timezone is used during export to the accounting package. Ensure each user’s profile timezone matches the company timezone to prevent date discrepancies.

MYOB Settings

Employee/Team member should have Pay details selected in MYOB before exporting. Setup these details in MYOB > Payroll > Employees > select an employee > Payroll details > Salary and wages.

📝 Notes:

  • Employees/Team members added in Factory but not yet in MYOB need to be added manually in MYOB by going to Payroll > Employees > Create employee > fill out Employee/Team member details > then click Save and continue

  • Pay basis should always be set to Hourly, not Salary

  • Employee/Team member should have a Wage expense category assigned before exporting Timesheets in Factory.

  • Set Accounting package employee and Accounting wage category for each Team member by going to Settings > Team > select the kebab/other options menu next to a Team member > Edit > click on Accounting package employee/Accounting wage category field then locate the Team member's name and the Accounting wage category setup in MYOB

📝 Note: if no Accounting package employee is set, an error will appear during the export process.
