Will answer this post myself - I have kicked this endpoint into touch as 'useless' in the end, despite my gushing support for it - and MYOB's apparent earnestness to maybe do a quick patch to fix some bugs - well - a big fat ZILCH came of that - MYOB never rang despite telling me to make an appointment - the endpoint is 'in my opinion' - best left unused and a workaround is by far the better option
As of today I have stopped using this endpoint completely - even to email clients a link to their invoice - which is does do but this was little comfort with clients who 'always want an attached pdf invoice' and just do not want to download via a link - or email the attached invoice directly to their MYOB in tray - and that endpoint JUST DEOS NOT DO THAT - so I have canned it.
The work around is that now I build the final invoice in my integrator app and via my own CDO emailer send out the pdf invoice as an attachment. It works perfectly and does not rely on MYOB' emailing system which for a big business cannot be connected to, and takes ages to refresh, even if you can connect.
The beauty of building your own invoices is that you have to anyway if you use the MYOB endpoint to delete a Sales Order to be replaced with a completed Sale - you cannot just convert a Sales Order to an Invoice via the API and queue it to mail out an attachment - ......... a real real negative - you can delete the SO - but you then need to build the invoice and post it completely via a new endpoint into MYOB as a Sale. ........ that is fine - but emailing out the invoice then becomes the missing link .... and for that you have to build your own work around.
Sorry MYOB cannot wait for you to fix this ..........
