Frequently Asked Questions
Can I set up the MYOB integration on my mobile device?
Currently, the integration is only available on the web via https://app.ordermentum.com/. It is not available on iOS or Android devices at this time.
What if there’s a mistake with the GL account?
It’s super easy to fix any incorrect account allocations in both MYOB and Ordermentum, so if there’s anything wrong, you or your bookkeeper can quickly correct the GL allocation. If you change the GL account of an item in Ordermentum, the system will remember the newly updated account, and in all future invoices, the item will be allocated to the new GL account.
What if I order a new product?
If Ordermentum doesn’t know which account to allocate the item to, we will mark it as “GL account required”, and will not set the invoice as approved in your accounting system. When it’s ready to reconcile, we’ll automatically mark it as approved. So the reconciliation is just a single click.
How much does this cost?
Nothing at all, it’s completely free!
