Hi, I have an enquiry relating the MYOB intergrating with other software packages, we are currently using Ostendo and this intergrates with MYOB however we are in the process of transitioning to Aro...

Hi TECServices
There is no limit to how many apps you can integrate with MYOB. This includes connecting 2 apps that are similar.
However, please ensure that these two apps should not create data conflicts, meaning if the 2 services are trying to create the same thing to MYOB, they may end up duplicating or trying to edit the same thing and constantly over-writing each other.
I hope this helps.
Hi TECServices
Whilst Komal_S is technically right - there is no real way for you to ensure that each app isn't writing the same data - that is the nature of the API - however, that sort of thing (conflict) is (should be) catered for programatically.
And further - the chances of 2 apps writing to the same item at exactly the same time is almost impossible - however, if say an existing entity (invoice/purchase) is being edited by 2 entities - the integration software should check that between GET and PUT that nothing has changed on the GET information - and there are methods to do exactly that - and if it has changed - that the change now being PUT is still relevant.
But on the how many apps can access the API to a particular MYOB file - there is no limit - it is a gateway and each app just lines up and gets in the queue.
