HOW-TO

How to set up a new supplier safely in MYOB Business

Short answer

Before the first bill, collect the supplier's ABN and bank details, check the ABN, phone to confirm, have a second person approve the supplier record in MYOB Business, then enter the first bill.

Setting up a new supplier safely means checking who they are and where the money goes before the first payment. What is supplier onboarding?

Before you start

  • Contacts access

The MYOB Business way

Where to find it: Contacts > Create contact

  1. Choose Contact type Supplier and Designation Company or Individual.
  2. Enter the supplier name and ABN. Check the ABN status.
  3. Tick Report payments to ATO via TPAR if they are a contractor.
  4. Pick the usual Expense category.
  5. Enter bank details if you will pay by electronic payment, then save.

Limits in MYOB Business

  • Only type, designation and name are required.

The Pulsify way

  1. Forward the first bill to Pulsify.
  2. Pulsify flags a supplier not found in MYOB Business so you add the record with the right details.
  3. It checks the ABN against the ABR and flags an invalid ABN or one not registered for GST.
  4. It compares bank details with the supplier record and flags a mismatch.
  5. Route first bills for new suppliers to a second approver.

Pulsify connects to MYOB in one click. Approved bills are created in MYOB with the source file attached.

What Pulsify does not do here

  • Pulsify flags. A person still confirms by phone.

Common mistakes

  • Filling in only the required fields and skipping the ABN status check.
  • Leaving out the usual Expense category, so every bill is coded by hand.
