Ascora can integrate directly with most major accounting packages – Xero, QuickBooks, MYOB Live and MYOB Essentials. Ascora runs two-way, full integration which means data will flow from Ascora into your accounting package as well as from your accounting package back into Ascora to ensure your Customers, Invoices and Payments are always synchronised. To connect Ascora to your MYOB Essentials Accounting Package:
1. From the Administration Icon in the Top Menu, choose the Accounts Integration option.
2. Select MYOB Essentials from the dropdown list. A summary will display on the screen to explain the integration further.
3. Click the Connect to Accounting Package button to commence the integration. You will be re-directed to MYOB Essentials to authorise Ascora to access your accounting data.

6. Once you have successfully connected Ascora with MYOB Essentials, a list of account code options will display.

When you are ready, click the Save Accounting Settings button.

Configure Specific Account Codes for Different Job Types
When you create a Job Type in Ascora, you can choose to assign unique Labour and Materials Income Account Codes to it. For example, you can set a Domestic Job Type to push income to Domestic Labour and Domestic Materials income accounts in MYOB Essentials.
Note that you do not need to configure specific Account Codes for different Job Types - any Job Type that does not have a specific Labour and/or Materials Income Account Code assigned to it will use the default Labour and Materials Income Account Codes configured in the main Accounts Integration settings.
1. From the Administration Icon in the Top Menu, choose the Jobs option.
2. Under the Job Type section, click the +Add New button to create a new Job Type, or click the Edit button to edit an existing Job Type.
3. The Job Type details pop-up window will display. Select the required Labour and Materials Income Account Codes from the dropdown lists then click the Save button.
Configure Specific Account Codes for Individual Supplies
You can configure Ascora to push income generated from a specific Supply Item into a specific Income Account Code in MYOB Essentials. This would typically be used when, for example, you charge out a rate for the use of a particular piece of equipment and have the equipment listed as a Supply in Ascora. By specifying a unique Income Account Code, you can track income specifically generated by that piece of equipment.
1. From the Inventory Icon in the Top Menu, choose the Supplies option.
2. Locate the Supply in the Supplies List for which you wish to apply a specific Income Account Code and click the Edit button.
3. The Edit Supply pop-up window will display. Select the applicable Income Account Code from the dropdown list then click the Save button.
Configure Account Codes for Credit Card Surcharges
Ascora allows you to (optionally) apply surcharges to credit card payments. You can apply different surcharge amounts to different card types if required and you can also define the Account Code in MYOB Essentials for Ascora to push Surcharge Income into.
1. From the Administration Icon in the Top Menu, choose the Payments & Tax option.
2. Under the Payment Methods section, click the +Add button to add a new Payment Method or click the Edit button to edit an existing Payment Method.
3. The Payment Method pop-up window will display. Select the applicable Surcharge Income Account Code from the dropdown list then click the Save button.
