Once you have integrated MYOB Advanced Business with vWork you can bring your MYOB Advanced 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 Advanced, you must authorize vWork to share information with MYOB Advanced. This process is explained in the article, MYOB Advanced: Connect vWork to MYOB Advanced.

The MYOB Advanced 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 Advanced and vWork

You can get the most out of the customer data shared from MYOB Advanced by understanding how fields in the MYOB customer records map to the Customer fields in the corresponding vWork customer record.

MYOB Advanced 'Customer ID' and vWork customer 'ID'

MYOB Advanced 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 Advanced and vWork customer data synchronizes correctly.
