When you need this
Before you export pay runs to MYOB, every shift type, leave type and allowance needs to be linked to a MYOB payroll category. The export uses these to put each line under the right category.
Before you start
MYOB Payroll is on: go to Settings → Integrations, select the billable company, click Configure on the MYOB card, and turn on MYOB Payroll on the Settings tab. This adds the Payroll Categories tab.
Have your list of payroll categories from MYOB open. You'll need the exact names.
Steps
Open the Payroll Categories tab.
On each of the three sub-tabs, type the MYOB payroll category for every row, then click Save on that row:
Shift Types: every shift type, such as Day shift, Night Shift or Weekend Overtime.
Leave Types: every leave type, such as annual leave, sick leave or RDO. Approved leave appears in the pay run file under this category.
Allowances: every allowance. Allowance rows appear in the pay run file under this category.
Names must match exactly
The category is a typed name, not a dropdown. Type it exactly as it appears in MYOB, including capitals, brackets and spacing. For example, Overtime (1.5x) and Overtime 1.5x are different categories to MYOB.
Common MYOB categories you might map to:
SprintSuite | Example MYOB payroll category |
Ordinary day shift | Base Hourly |
Overtime shifts | Overtime (1.5x), Overtime (2x) |
Public Holiday - Worked | Your public holiday category |
Annual leave | Annual Leave Pay |
Sick leave | Personal Leave Pay |
These are examples only. Always copy the names from your own MYOB file.
Good to know
Mappings belong to this billable company. They don't change your shift type settings, and other billable companies can map the same shift type differently.
A row left blank exports with no category, and MYOB will ask you to allocate it during import. Map every type you use.
What success looks like
Every shift type, leave type and allowance you use has a saved category.
Pay run imports into MYOB don't ask you to allocate any categories.
If it fails
No Payroll Categories tab → turn on MYOB Payroll on the Settings tab.
MYOB says a category doesn't exist → the typed name doesn't match. Copy it from MYOB and save again.
A shift type or leave type is missing from the list → check it's active in SprintSuite settings.
Allowances shows "No allowances" → none are set up in SprintSuite yet.
