❗ Important: MYOB Acumatica was formerly know as MYOB Advanced. This MYOB product changed names in July 2024. We are in the process of upgading vWork to reflect this change in name. You will still see MYOB Advanced in vWork instead of MYOB Acumatica until we have completed this change. This doesn't change how the integration works.
------------------------
Once you have integrated MYOB Acumatica with vWork you can bring your MYOB Acumatica customer information across into vWork. This ensures that jobs with invoice line items in vWork are automatically associated with the matching MYOB customer record when the vWork invoice is uploaded into MYOB Advanced.
Before you can import your customer information from MYOB Acumatica, you must authorize vWork to share information with MYOB Advanced. This process is explained in the article, MYOB Acumatica: Connect vWork to MYOB Acumatica.
The MYOB Acumatica integration is an optional feature in vWork. To add this to your account please email support@vworkapp.com.

Tips for setting up customer data in MYOB Acumatica and vWork
You can get the most out of the customer data shared from MYOB Acumatica by understanding how fields in the MYOB customer records map to the Customer fields in the corresponding vWork customer record.
MYOB Acumatica 'Customer ID' and vWork customer 'ID'
MYOB Acumatica uses a unique ID for customer records and vWork also assigns a unique customer ID - these are unique to each application and won't match. We use other information to ensure MYOB Acumatica and vWork customer data synchronizes correctly.
