Hi Mike,

 

No the invoice numbers on the text file are different to what was imported.

 

The external system operates completely independently of MYOB except for the text file that we import. 

 

Thanks

Hi Kirra27 , are the invoice numbers in the text file valid numbers to MYOB, ie 8 characters alpha-numeric? (I know you can input longer numbers manually, but the import is limited to 8 characters.

    Hi Mike,

     

    Some are 6 characters, some are 7 characters. Is it ok for them to be less than 8 characters, or do we need to make them all 8 characters before importing? 

     

    Thanks
