    Hi Norm-2468,

     

    Yes .  Open the Myob export from Hero - Payrunjournal-ddmmyyyy.txt using NotePad.

    insert {} as the first line. so the first 2 lines will be.

    {}
    Journal Number    Date    Memo    GST (BAS) Reporting    Inclusive    Account Number    Is

     

    Just save the file, (as TXT)

     

    in MYOB import the file as a General journal -  Make sure all the account number used in Hero are all in MYOB, as you can get some very strange reject messages.

     

    Good luck

It looks like MYOB have an incorrectly link to the General Journal import.   

The general ledger import file is now different than the General Ledger export file MYOB.

 

The export from Employment Hero for MYOB is in the correct format. 

To import EH Payroll file you use the Import - General ledger file in MYOB.

For some reason when you come to match the fields, MYOB is now showing different fields.

 

I am having the same problem importing EH payroll files and other General journal files.  This was all fine on 07/06/2024.
