MYOB AccountRight 14 and AccountRight Live interface released ^Featured

Posted by SmartTrade Techs on Tuesday, 22 December 2015 in Accounting and Suppliers

In previous newsletters we recommended that SmartTrade customers using MYOB AccountRight version 19 (or earlier versions) should not upgrade to AccountRight versions 2011 or 2012 due to the lack of an interface with SmartTrade.

MYOB has released a stable API for their desktop version 2015 and their hosted MYOB AccountRight Live versions.

SmartTrade has written the accounting interface for AccountRight 2015.4 the current MYOB desktop version.

The new interface will work with the MYOB AccountRight 2015 and AccountRight Live Premier, Plus and Standard edition. It will not work with their Essentials version.

Given MYOB will not be releasing an API for AccountRight versions 2011 and 2012 any SmartTrade users who have upgraded to AccountRight version 2011 or 2012 will need to upgrade to the latest AccountRight 2015 or Live version.

Please contact our support team if you have any questions.

SmartTrade's end of year function

Posted by SmartTrade Techs on Sunday, 20 December 2015 in News and Announcements

What do SmartTrade, gangsters and cruising on a boat have in common....not a thing !! But we did combine the three for a great time at our end of year function as we spent the evening on Auckland's harbour. Calm sea, fantastic sunset in the west, full moon rising in the east - idyllic!
