Before you begin
Before you start connecting your MYOB account to Kounta, you'll want to make sure your MYOB AccountRight account set up - you may need to double check this with your Accountant, or Bookkeeper.
From here you can then you'll need to enable the MYOB AccountRight integration. We wrote a guide to help you enable this integration and to sync your Takings and Account Sales data.
Finally, you'll also need to be on the Kounta Purchase Advanced plan.
Setting up Purchase Orders
1. To begin setting up your Purchase Orders select the Manage tab.
2. Check the box next to For each purchase order in Kounta, create a Bill in MYOB AccountRight.
3. Once enabled, you will now see options for mapping your account for your Purchase Orders - this is very similar to mapping Default Accounts for takings and accounts sales (which is covered in our guide on how to Integrate your MYOB AccountRight Live with Kounta).
Use the drop-down arrows on the right side to select which account should receive the cost associated with received purchase orders. Then, scroll down and map your taxes to their MYOB AccountRight Live equivalents.

Map Expenses Tax Codes
Once the Purchase Account has been mapped, you will need to then select the MYOB Tax Type mapping for your Kounta tax codes - you can find out more about adding and managing your taxes in your Kounta Account here.
The Integration will give you the recommended tax codes from your MYOB Accounting Program for these tax types. If you don't see the option here but you use this Tax Type in Kounta, you will need to create the corresponding tax code in MYOB.
As purchase orders are marked as received in Kounta, they will export across to MYOB.
