MYOB setup

This guide helps you prepare MYOB (AccountRight, Business, or Cloud) and complete a reliable connection to Wageloch.

Users and permissions

The user authorising the connection must be able to access the file and run payroll-related tasks.

  1. Sign in to MYOB and select the settings icon (⚙).
  2. Select Users and permissions.
  3. Select Create user.
  4. Enter the user's Name and Email.
  5. In Access, select Administrator (or the payroll-specific role your organisation uses).
  6. Set the user type to File user or Online admin, depending on whether they need access to other MYOB businesses.
  7. Select Save and send invitation.
  8. The user accepts the emailed invitation to activate their account.

Dedicated integration user

Using a dedicated MYOB integration user (for example, Wageloch Integration) makes auditing and troubleshooting easier.

Desktop AccountRight (legacy)

If you're still running AccountRight desktop software rather than a cloud-hosted file, user setup instead happens under Setup > User Access: create or select a user, then either tick This user will sign on with a my.MYOB account and enter their my.MYOB details (online), or leave it unticked and set a local username and password (offline). Set Company file roles to Administrator, then select Save.

System preferences

Enable timesheets before exporting data from Wageloch.

  1. Sign in to MYOB and select the settings icon (⚙).
  2. Select Payroll settings.
  3. In the General payroll information tab, enable Use timesheets to track employee hours.
  4. Set Week Starts on to the first day of your pay week.
  5. Select Save.

Desktop AccountRight (legacy)

On AccountRight desktop software, this setting is under Setup > Preferences > System tab > I use Timesheets for. Tick the setting, choose Time Billing and Payroll, set the first day of your week, then select OK.

Connect MYOB in Wageloch

Once MYOB is prepared, complete the Wageloch connection steps.

  1. Sign in to Wageloch at app.wageloch.com.au.
  2. Select Settings > Payroll > Payroll Connections.
  3. In Credentials, select Link to MYOB.
  4. In the MYOB window, sign in and approve access.
  5. Return to Wageloch and complete the authentication prompt.
  6. Open the Company Files tab.
  7. For each store, select the correct MYOB company file.
  8. Select Done to save.

Validate the connection

  • Confirm each store is mapped to the correct MYOB company file.
  • Run a small test export before your first live payroll.
  • If errors appear, continue to MYOB Troubleshooting.
