Contacts can be set up in Buildlogic and sent to the Accounting System or, if you have contacts already set up in your Accounting System, they can be imported into Buildlogic.
The key field on the MYOB Card that needs to be filled in is the Card ID as highlighted in RED below. Buildlogic only looks at Cards in MYOB with a Card ID as you may have suppliers that you purchase items for the office that have no connection to Jobs.
NOTE: If you have MYOB AccountRight Live, your system is set up to pull information into a holding file behind Buildlogic, so your Administrator will first need to run a SYNC to pull new information into the holding file allowing all Buildlogic users have access to that information.
For Xero the key field is the account number see highlighted below.
To import the Contact into Buildlogic go to Contacts > Import Accounting System Contacts. A list with the Contacts is displayed as shown below. Check the box next to the Contacts you want to import (or the check box next to Card identification to select All) and the go to "Other Functions" and select "Import selected contacts" as shown below:
NOTE: Once imported, the Contact is then is available to all Buildlogic users. If a newly entered contact is not visible in your list you may have to run the accounting system sync to update the list in buildlogic
