MYOB Adapt FAQs

MYOB Adapt simplifies migrations to MYOB Acumatica from desktop payroll and ERP solutions. Here are some common questions about what it's capable of and how you can use it.

General

Can I migrate multiple databases to a single MYOB Acumatica site?

Not at the moment, but you'll be able to do this in a future release.

Can I give feedback about MYOB Adapt?

Yes, we'd love to hear your ideas! Go to the Digital Transformation section of the ideas portal, and submit ideas for the specific product you're migrating from:

Exo Business to MYOB Acumatica Business

Payroll

Can I migrate a customer with multiple companies?

No. Currently, you can only use MYOB Adapt to migrate customers with a single company.

Can I migrate a customer with international employees?

No. Currently, you can only migrate a customer with employees who are paid in the Australian dollar (AUD) or the New Zealand dollar (NZD).

Can I migrate a customer that uses the BMS identifier for Single Touch Payroll?

No. Currently, MYOB Adapt doesn't support the BMS identifier in the Single Touch Payroll workflow. You have to set these values to zero in MYOB Exo Employer Services Australia before migrating the customer.

Only pay rates used in a standard pay are migrated. In a future version, you'll be able to migrate more pay rates.
For New Zealand sites, 52 weeks of payroll history is included in the dynamic data.

What's the difference between static data and dynamic data?

Static data are things like reference data, pay items, etc. that don't change after a pay run. Dynamic data are things like entitlement adjustments, pay history, etc. that do change after a pay run.

When migrating, you can start by migrating static data. Then, when you're ready to make the migrated site live, you can migrate dynamic data. This makes it easier to test the migration data.

Can I migrate data into MYOB Acumatica — Workforce Management?

Not at the moment. Currently, all payroll data is migrated into a single MYOB Acumatica — Payroll database.

Can I migrate companies with a multiple price structure?
