Posting Tracking Centres to MYOB Business AccountRight

Tracking Centres in AroFlo can be set as Jobs in MYOB. You may like to create a header Job called:

  • AroFlo

Then create Detail Jobs named exactly the same* as the tracking centres in AroFlo. e.g.:

  • Residential
  • Commercial
  • Industrial

This then allows you to track all of the income direct from AroFlo (as a header) and then individually for each Tracking Centre.
