EXO Super User Training Manual Momentum Software Solutions Page | 2
OVERVIEW
This training manual is designed for the User/s designated as the ‘System Administrator’ for MYOB
EXO Business. This User should be a trusted senior employee with authority to setup new users and
define access and authority permissions throughout the EXO Business Software.
This manual generally refers to functions and processes in the EXO Business Configuration Assistant
module (ConfigWizard).
Some activities in this manual should only be conducted either with or by your MYOB EXO Business
Support Partner – Momentum Software Solutions. In this manual they will be highlighted as per
below.
Attempting to use this feature without qualified assistance could result in serious
consequences for your system and require chargeable support assistance, system downtime, data
correction or restore from backup depending on the actions taken.

SYSTEM SETUP
This chapter presents an overview of the MYOB EXO Business setup and may be useful to help the understanding of a ‘super user’, but would not normally be relevant to most users. The following diagram presents an overview of the EXO Business setup:
EXO Super User Training Manual Momentum Software Solutions Page | 4
COMPANY
Updating Registration Codes
The Registration section is the first section you should view on opening the Configuration Assistant, as it controls the registry codes that are required for the MYOB EXO Business system to work. The Registration Keys section controls the registration code entry for MYOB EXO Business modules. The registration codes are specific to the company name, the individual EXO Business product, number of users and the expiry date of the registration code. To enter registration information manually:
1. Double‐click the “EXO Business” module name. 2. Enter the following fields:
Max Users‐ The registered number of users, as per the number of concurrent licences purchased from MYOB.
Registration Key‐ The registration code received from MYOB for the selected module.
Expiry Date‐ The expiry date for the EXO Business module. For more information of how this will be applied to the end user, refer to the Terms and Conditions of the End User Licence Agreement.
3. Click Save to save these settings.
Tip: Specific registration codes are not required for the core modules included with MYOB EXO
Business, with the exception of EXO Business Config.
Note: The colour of the highlight bar and module. If the line is red, then the module, number of
users, security code, expiry date and/or company name do not match the code given. Check that all
the items match the code requested. The colour will change from red to black when edited
successfully.
Modules are divided into two sections: Core and Add‐on. A single registration code applies to all
Core modules. Add‐on modules are all separately licensed—a registration code must be supplied for
each one. Registration codes can be downloaded and applied automatically, or they can be obtained
from MYOB and entered manually. Both operations are performed from the Registration Keys
section.
EXO Super User Training Manual Momentum Software Solutions Page | 5
Company Details
The Company Details section holds details such as the name and address of the company using
MYOB EXO Business. This information is primarily used in reports for displaying the company’s
contact details, but some fields also have a specific purpose in the system such as the Country and
Bank Account fields.
Field Description
Company Name Displays the company’s name. Read‐only in this section – the company name can be changed in the Registration section.
Postal Address Enter the company’s postal address. Four lines are available
Street Address Enter the company’s street address, or tick Street address is the same as postal address to copy the postal address details
County
Select the country that the company operates in.
Note: It is very important that you choose the right Country setting. This influences the tax rates to be used on the system.
Phone Number Enter a contact phone number for the company
Fax Number Enter a contact fax number for the company
Email Address Enter a contact email address for the company
Web Site Enter the company’s web site
Tax Number The name of the property depends on the country that the company operates in. Enter the company’s tax number (e.g. GST number, VAT number)
Bank account Enter the company’s bank account number
Account name Enter the name on the company’s bank account
EXO Super User Training Manual Momentum Software Solutions Page | 6
ESSENTIAL
The Business Essentials section defines key fundamental settings that are not normally changed once
transaction entry has begun, e.g. GL account definition and the tax system. These settings should
therefore be set up carefully before trading begins.
Implementation Notes
The Implementation Notes section is a free‐form notes area where implementers are encouraged to enter important notes about the installation. For example, this might include key configuration settings, database customisations, or any unusual implementation of extra fields. There are also fields to enter details of the Implementation Partner and System Administrator. These details are displayed on the About Box of the core MYOB EXO Business application (select About from the Help menu, then click Registration Details). Click Register to send an email to MYOB containing the System Administrator Details and information from the Company Details section, so that MYOB’s records of your contact information can be updated.
General Settings
The General Settings section holds information relating to decimal places, tax settings and stock costing methods.
Decimal Places in Numeric Values
Set the number of decimal places used in transactions for areas such as quantities and cost prices.
Tax (GST or relevant localisation)
MYOB EXO Business is primarily designed to record tax on an Invoice basis, i.e. each invoice line has a tax amount that is accrued as soon as the invoice is produced. However, EXO Business does have additional mechanisms that will assist in the production of Tax
returns based on when payments are made or received.
The differences are:
When a payment is made you will receive additional prompts to record the tax portion of a payment transaction.
The Tax return (or BAS) will gather payment transactions rather than invoice transactions and will mark these as having been included on the tax return.
EXO Super User Training Manual Momentum Software Solutions Page | 7
Tick the TAX inclusive pricing for debtors box if prices are entered inclusive of tax. Leaving the box clear indicates tax exclusive pricing. Select the default tax rates applied to debtor and creditor transactions for analysis. To apply witholding tax to Creditors Payments, tick the Witholding Tax on Creditors Payments option and specify a tax rate (note: if paying a creditor without an ABN withholding tax will be deducted at the set rate).
Other
This area contains other key settings, including selecting the Stock/Bill of Materials costing method to be used, and how “special” transactions are to be handled when using the AVERAGE stock costing method. Tick the Operate in multiple currencies box to enable Multi‐Currency support, which assists business
who trade in foreign currencies.
General Ledger
In this section, you can configure the General Ledger as per the customer’s requirements. This information entered into this will seldom change after the initial setup and in some cases may actually have system‐wide implications if it is changed. GL Account Code Structure The structure of the General Ledger coding method is set up here. GL account codes can be divided into up to three sections:
Branch‐Account‐Subaccount
Both the branch prefix and sub‐account suffix are optional. Select whether branches and/or sub‐account sections are needed, and the number of digits for each section. An example of the structure you have entered is displayed below in red. This example updates as changes are made.
GL Stock Integration
Selects the method of stock system integration to the General Ledger: Periodic stock This option is more suited to stock valuation where processes such as Job Costing or
Manufacturing (including the allocation of overhead or labour costs to the finished product) are
used. This feature requires the user to have the "GL Closing Stock" procedure on their menu.
Periodic Stock allows the user to determine the level of stock‐on‐hand to be reflected in the
accounts at the end of the period
Perpetual stock
This option is the more complex of the two inventory integration methods. This method allows the posting of physical stock transactions to the General Ledger on a one‐to‐one basis. Disabling this feature will require the user to manually post stock valuations in a periodic manner (Periodic Stock system). Perpetual Stock is more suited to warehousing and retail type situations with standard stock in/ stock out movements, and only supports Average stock costing methods. To use Perpetual
EXO Super User Training Manual Momentum Software Solutions Page | 8
Stock two additional accounts are required to be setup in the GL Control Accounts (Stock Clearing Account and a Stock Adjustment Account). The Post Stock to GL menu procedure must be added to the users menu. The Stock Purchases GL Code for physical stock should point to the Stock Clearing Account; the "Stock GL Coding" function included in the GL Utilities can be used to achieve this. Select a Cost of Sales method – this controls the posting of cost of sales to the General Ledger. Choose from: Post to Cost of Sales from GL Control A/c – This option posts all cost of sales to a single control account: the Cost of Sales account specified in the GL Control Accounts section.
Post to Cost of Sales A/c from Stock Item – This option allows the user to select multiple trading accounts based on the Stock item. Cost of sales is posted to the account specified by the C.O.S. GL code setting on the Stock Details tab for the relevant Stock item.
Other
Branch no. for balance sheet Specify the default branch number for transactions on the Balance Sheet. This field should only be set when first setting up a site. Any attempt to change its value once transactions have been entered will have unknown consequences, and may potentially corrupt the Balance Sheet branch reporting and/or data.
Chart of Accounts
While an organisation’s Chart of Accounts can be set up manually from the main MYOB EXO Business application (Account menu > General Ledger), the Configuration Assistant allows you to select a pre‐made Chart of Accounts from a list. Select an Industry classification and Business type, and the pre‐made Chart of Accounts appears in the section below. Alternatively, you can import a chart of accounts from a CSV file, e.g. one provided by a company accountant. Click the Import button to select the CSV file containing the chart of accounts definition. See “Appendix 1: Chart of Accounts Import” on page 100 for details of the expected file format. Once the Chart of Accounts has been selected or imported, it appears in the area at the bottom of the General Ledger section, where it can be altered manually if necessary: To edit an item, right‐click on it and select Edit. Make any changes then click OK.
To delete an item, right‐click on it and select Delete, then click Yes to confirm.
To create a new group, account or sub‐account, right‐click on the node you want to create the item under and select New GL Group, New Account or New Sub‐Account as appropriate. Enter details for the new item and click OK.
GL Control Accounts
Once the Chart of Accounts has been set up, (by importing the information or manual entry), the key accounts can be brought through to the General Ledger Control Accounts. The GL Control Accounts are divided into General and Custom tabs. The General tab contains the
standard control accounts, while the Custom tab contains the control accounts for more specialised
areas, such as foreign exchange and advanced stock. If a pre‐made Chart of Accounts was selected
on the General Ledger screen, a set of default GL Control Accounts will be displayed here.
EXO Super User Training Manual Momentum Software Solutions Page | 9
To set a GL Control Account: 1. Right‐click on an account and select Search. A search dialog appears:
Financial year
Financial Year
The Financial Year section is used to set up the periods that compose the financial year. To set up the financial year: 1. Select a period and click the Edit button, or double‐click to edit.
2. Enter a name for the period, as well as a short code and report code (which is useful to set the sequence in a report).
3. Under Transaction Entry Validation, select if the month is a standard calendar month or if specific dates are used.
4. If a period is not a standard calendar month, the Dates Between ... and ... of the period must be specified. These dates also contain the year, so these dates must be set up at the beginning of every financial year to reflect the change in dates.
5. Click Save to save the settings.
Note: Ensure the first name in the sequence is the first period of the financial year. This may be
different to a standard calendar year.
The Load button allows you to specify and create a standard twelve month financial year. You must also specify the first period of doing business and the period that represents January.
Caution: Incorrect setting of the Accounting period representing January will result in incorrect
population of the Period History table, as well as causing issues with the current calendar year.
Ensure this is set correctly.
Analysis Codes
This section is where you set up Analysis Codes (see page 62). Analysis Codes are arbitrary codes
used in software applications that can be assigned to transactions. They do not perform any function
themselves and are independent of the normal grouping of account codes; they are simply a
customisable way of grouping related transactions together for sorting and reporting.
Current Period
The Current Period settings track the current period of operation, and help to enforce period transaction dates. As the Financial Year can be defined purely in calendar months rather than explicit dates, the Current Period settings are used to align the calendar months and calendar year to the financial periods. These are then used for period/date enforcement.
EXO Super User Training Manual Momentum Software Solutions Page | 10
Field Description
First month of the calendar year
This is required to ascertain which financial period will roll over the Current calendar year when an end of month is performed. The system cannot determine this automatically because the financial year may start in any calendar month, and the actual financial period name is customisable (e.g.”Jan”,”‘January”, “01”), so it must be explicitly set.
Note: Incorrectly setting the first month of the calendar year will result in incorrect population of the Period History table, as well as causing issues with the current calendar year. Ensure this is et correctly.
Current financial period Current calendar year
These values confirm the current period of operation for each ledger. These automatically increment at the correct time during end of period rolls. Transaction ages in EXO Business are numbered from current (0) backwards. EXO Business knows which period in the period table is the current one, and uses this as a point of reference to display the name of the period on reports and within data entry screens.
Default posting age Enter the default age for transactions when they are posted to the posted to the Debtors, Creditors, Stock or General ledgers.
Year names You can customise the display names for the last, current and next year periods if necessary.
Tax Rates
The Tax Rates section sets the tax rates used by the company, which are then used to create the tax return form entries. Tax rates have the ability to use separate GL Control Accounts, and link to a Tax Return Key Point for tax reporting. To set up tax rates: 1. Select a tax rate and click the Edit button, or double‐click the tax rate to edit.
2. Enter the Tax Rate details, including Name and Tax rate, and select the relevant Tax Return Key Point reference to be used on the tax return.
Company
This section is only available in EXO Business Config, and only when the InterCompany module is in use. Enter the Company number for this company, as specified on Setup Source Companies window in the InterCompany module. See the InterCompany User Guide for more information on these Company numbers.
EXO Job Costing
This section is only available in EXO Business Config, and only when the EXO Job Costing module is in use. See the EXO Job Costing User Guide for information on these settings.
EXO Super User Training Manual Momentum Software Solutions Page | 11

General Ledger
This section contains settings that affect the operation of the General Ledger.
Account Groups
The General Ledger is grouped into accounts with different functions such as Sales, Asset and
Liability accounts and Overheads. When setting your GL you need to name and define the groups
you require. This section lets you set up GL Account Groups.
GL Control Accounts
This section is only available in EXO Business Config, and is the same as the GL Control Accounts
section in the Essential Settings.
GL Report Batches
Allows the batching of General Ledger reports (already created using the GL Reporting tool),
including selecting parameters such as branches and periods, so that batches of reports can be
scheduled. This interface is also available in the main EXO Business application at Reports menu >
General Ledger Reports > Setup GL Report Batches. Batches can be run by selecting Reports menu >
General Ledger Reports > Run GL Report Batch.
EXO Finance
Branches
Set up branches and branch names if analysis by branch is required. A branch is usually a separate
profit centre within the business. Branches often equate to locations which designate a stock
holding area however multiple stock locations could also exist within a branch. Virtual locations
EXO Super User Training Manual Momentum Software Solutions Page | 15
could also exist (and possibly cross branch boundaries) to separate stock for other reasons, e.g.
seconds stock or work in progress.
Note: Branches are numbered starting at 0, whereas Stock Locations are numbered starting at 1.
Be careful of this difference if you have a one‐to‐one relationship between branches and locations.
Tax Rates
This section is only available in EXO Business Config. It allows you to set up the tax rates used by the
tax system
Currencies
If multiple currencies are used, the Currencies screen is needed to set up and maintain the individual
currencies, as well as their current buy rates and sell rates. The option to enable or disable multiple
currencies is set in the Business Essentials > General Settings section.
By default, Currency Number 0 is the local currency of the system, and would normally have a Buy
and Sell Rate of 1.
Currencies for Australia and New Zealand are set up by default. Click New to add new currencies.
The exchange rate of other currencies can be changed as necessary, relative to the default currency,
by selecting a currency name and clicking the Edit button, or double‐clicking a currency to edit.
Payment Groups / Payment Types
Payment groups cluster payment types together, and determine properties such as the GL Bank
account associated with the payment media. Payment types define the properties of payment
‘media’, including whether the payment option is available, rounding, and how it integrates with the
EXO Business POS add‐on module.
This section lets you set up the Payment Types used in the EXO Business system, e.g. cash, cheque,
EFTPOS. Payment Types define the properties of payment media, including whether the payment
option is available, rounding, and how it integrates with the EXO Business POS add‐on module.
Payment Denominations
This section lets you set up the denominations used in the EXO Business system. Payment
denominations determine the denominations that are available for each payment type.
Denominations for the CASH payment type and the local currency are set up by default, but
denominations can be added for other types. Click New to add a new denomination.
EXO Super User Training Manual Momentum Software Solutions Page | 16
Tax Return Key Points
Tax Return Key Points are internally defined rates that are used in the Tax Return functions, which
are set up automatically during installation. Each key point relates to a point on the Tax Return form;
key points are therefore specific to each country. Tax Return Key Points are automatically set up
based on the country selected during installation. They should be associated with Tax Rates.
Credit Terms
Credit Terms are set up by default on install, but it is possible to add new terms, specifying positive
credit factors for "net day" terms, and negative credit factors for "month following" terms (0 = Cash
Only), and whether they are active for Debtors or Creditors. Click New to create new credit terms.
For credit factors ‐29 to ‐31, it is assumed due dates are for the end of the month following, so the
day of the month is decreased, if need be, until a valid date is achieved, e.g. ‐31 could equate to
28.02.03 or 30.04.04.
Creditors
Creditor Account Groups/Alternate Creditor Account Groups
These sections let you set up Creditor Account Groups and Alternate Creditor Account Groups .
Creditor Account Groups are useful in reporting scenarios to group different creditor types together.
Tip: The names used to reference creditor account groups in MYOB EXO Business can be customised
at System > Display Name in EXO Config.
Stock
Stock Groups/Alternate Stock Groups
These sections let you set up Stock Groups and Alternate Stock Groups.
Enter Stock Group names for reporting or sorting purposes. Group names can also be shown on
stock search screens and filters. Select a name and click the Edit button, or double‐click on it. This is
where you enter autocode prefixes and auto suffixes for one‐off stock items. Enter the expected
profit margin and variances and the GL code for Sales, Purchases and COS per stock group.
Note: For Stock Groups, the Parent group property references an Alternate Stock Group.
Tip: The names used to reference stock groups in MYOB EXO Business can be customised at
System > Display Name in EXO Config.
EXO Super User Training Manual Momentum Software Solutions Page | 17
Stock Locations
Select a location and click the Edit button, or double‐click on it. Enter names for the stock locations,
using both short‐form codes and long names. There are also options useful for reporting and forms,
such as the location Address, and flags to allow exclusion from reports. Click New to add new
locations beyond the default ten locations.
Note: Stock Locations are numbered starting at 1, whereas Branches are numbered starting at 0.
Be careful of this difference if you have a one‐to‐one relationship between branches and locations.
Stock Price Groups
Enter the names of the Price Groups to be applied to stock items, and utilities in the pricing policies
and updates.
Stock Price Groups allow similar products to be grouped together so that they may share common
pricing policies. Using Stock Price Groups means only the price policies relating to the group need to
be changed, and not every stock item. The stock item is added to a Stock Price Group in the MYOB
EXO Business core module at Account > Stock > Details 1 tab.
Note: See the "Pricing and Discount Policies" whitepaper for more detail.
Stock Unit Definitions
Set up the names of the stock units that will be available, e.g. "EACH" or "PACK".
Price Names
Set up Price Names that set the base prices used for Debtor accounts. Select a name and click the
Edit button, or double‐click the item to edit.
Price SQL is used with the Account > Stock Item > Sell Price Formulation function.
Currency is used when a price is set based a foreign currency, when used in the Pricing Calculator. It
does not restrict the price to foreign currency accounts.
Note: See the "Pricing and Discount Policies" whitepaper for more detail.
Warranty
Set up the warranties available on stock items. Click Add to create a new warranty. Enter a
description and a Charge Stock Code (you can enter part of a stock code and press ENTER to open a
Search window). You must also select the Stock Group and Alternate Stock Group that this warranty
applies to.
EXO Super User Training Manual Momentum Software Solutions Page | 18
Debtors
Debtor Account Groups/Alternate Debtor Account Groups
These sections let you set up Debtor Account Groups and Alternate Debtor Account Groups . Set up
the Debtor Account Groups and Alternate Debtor Account Groups as required to help group debtors
together, e.g. by region or client type. These can be added to search grids as extra fields, and used
for reporting purposes.
Tip: The names used to reference debtor account groups in MYOB EXO Business can be customised
at System > Display Name.
Debtor Price Policy Groups
Create names to be used for grouping debtors into Price Policy groups. Individual debtors can then
join a Price Policy Group by selecting the Price Policy Group name on the Account > Debtors >
Discounts/Prices tab. The Debtor Price Policy Group is then associated with a Price Policy. All debtor
accounts that belong to that Policy Group will then receive that Price Policy’s prices and discounts.
Inwards Goods
Cost Codes
Set up cost codes that relate to the shipment of goods, e.g. customs or duty.
Shipment Status
Shipment statuses define the stages of the flow of goods from the supplier to your warehouse.
These should be generic stages that apply to all methods of shipping.
Shipment Method
Shipment Methods define the type of transport being used to transport (or ship) the goods. This can
also be used for report filtering.
Dashboards
Reports > Dashboards
Dashboards are customisable displays showing one or more “widgets”. In most cases these widgets
are summary reports, making the Dashboard an at‐a‐glance overview of the entire MYOB EXO
Business system. Other functions can be added as widgets however, including external applications.
EXO Super User Training Manual Momentum Software Solutions Page | 19
The default Business Flow Menus (see page 58) of several EXO Business modules are composed of Dashboard interfaces, which allows them to be customised by each user, and also means that they can display current system data on the main menu. Data on Dashboard reports can be printed or exported using the options on each widget’s toolbar.
EXO Fixed Assets
This section is only available in EXO Business Config, and only when the Fixed Assets module is in
use. It contains settings that affect the operation of the Fixed Assets module. See the Fixed Assets
User Guide for more information on these Company numbers.
EXO Intercompany Consolidations
This section is only available in EXO Business Config, and only when the InterCompany module is in
use. It contains settings that affect the operation of the InterCompany module. See the
InterCompany User Guide for more information on these Company numbers.
EXO Super User Training Manual Momentum Software Solutions Page | 20
Serviceable Units
This section is only available in EXO Business Config, and only when the Job Costing module is in use.
It contains settings that affect the operation of the Job Costing module. See the Job Costing User
Guide for information on these settings.
Analytics
EXO Business Analytics is a separate module that presents a customisable overview of the
organization’s business status. It is intended for use by management to monitor business
performance. EXO Business Analytics extracts data from various sources in the MYOB EXO Business
system and then displays it in a consolidated format. This allows managers to quickly get a complete
picture of the entire business.
EXO Super User Training Manual Momentum Software Solutions Page | 21
Social Media
MYOB EXO Business can display social media information about companies (Debtors, Creditors and Non Accounts), Contacts and Opportunities. The following social media services are currently supported:
LinkedIn Users have the option of viewing social media information using their own login details, or using details for the company. For example, while users may use the company details by default, a salesperson may want to view an Opportunity’s LinkedIn details while logged in to their own account, so that they can see any connections between themselves and the Opportunity. It is possible to switch between company and personal accounts at any time.
Setting Up Social Media
Company‐wide social media details are set up in EXO Business Config at Admin > Social Media > Setup Social Media. From this screen you can: � Authorise social media applications using a company account
� Enter IDs for the company’s social media accounts
EXO Super User Training Manual Momentum Software Solutions Page | 22
Note: The Social Media section in EXO Business Config also includes an Application Key/Secret
section. This section contains details used by the EXO Business application to connect to social
media networks. Do not alter these details unless instructed to do so by MYOB; altering these
details could cause the social media functions to stop working.
Authorising Social Media Applications
To use the social media functionality, the EXO Business application must be authorised to log in to
the various social networks. Users have the option of logging in and viewing social media
information using their own accounts, or using a company account. To log in and authorise social
media applications using a company account, click the toolbar buttons for each social media
network:
Doing so retrieves an “access token”, which is stored and used to log users in using the company’s
details.
Note: To change the company account in use, go to the Twitter, Facebook or LinkedIn website and
log out, then come back to this screen in EXO Business Config. You will be prompted to log in
again.
Setting up Company Social Media Accounts
The Company Social IDs sub‐tab in the Social Media > Setup Social Media section contains social media account IDs or usernames for the company. The accounts entered here will be displayed by the social media widgets and used when posting to social media from a campaign wave (EXO Business CRM). Facebook and LinkedIn distinguish between user accounts and accounts for pages or companies,
which exist independently of an individual user. Extra settings are available to determine how to
manage these. The following table describes all available settings:
Field Description
User ID / Name This read‐only field is populated automatically when clicking the Facebook toolbar button.
Page ID / Name If your company has its own Facebook page, enter its ID number or name here.
Campaigns to be When posting to social media from a campaign wave, you can post to the
EXO Super User Training Manual Momentum Software Solutions Page | 23
sent from Facebook wall for the User ID or for the Page ID; use these options to select which wall to post to.
My Company widget uses
This setting determines what appears on the “My Company’s Facebook Wall” widget. Select whether to display the Facebook wall for the User ID or for the Page ID.
User ID This read‐only field is populated automatically when clicking the LinkedIn toolbar button.
Company ID If your company has its own account on LinkedIn, enter its ID number here.
Campaigns to be sent from
These options are disabled; at present, LinkedIn does not allow third party applications such as EXO Business to post activity to a company account, so the User option must always be selected.
My Company widget uses
This setting determines what appears on the “My Company’s LinkedIn Activity” widget. Select whether to show LinkedIn activity for the User ID or the Company ID.
Company ID / Screen Name
This field is populated automatically when clicking the Twitter toolbar button; it can also be entered and edited manually. This is the Twitter account ID that will be displayed on the “My Company’s Twitter Mentions” widget. When posting to social media from a campaign wave, the post will be sent to this account’s Twitter feed.
Note: Twitter does not distinguish between users and companies, so all other Twitter properties are disabled. The User ID/Screen Name is read only, and is automatically populated with whatever is entered for the Company ID / Screen Name.
Once you have set up these options, you can go to the Company Social Preview sub‐tab see how the selected accounts will appear on the social media widgets.
Setting up Personal Social Media Logons
Users can log on to social media networks using their personal account details on the Social tab. If the user has not specified a personal account, they will be prompted to log in and authorise the social media applications the first time they go to a sub‐tab on the Social tab. The details they enter are saved against their Staff record in the EXO Business database.
EXO Super User Training Manual Momentum Software Solutions Page | 24
Setting up Social Media IDs
Social media usernames or account IDs can be set up for companies and Contacts in the following places:
On the Details 2 tab of the Debtor Account Details window.
On the Details 2 tab of the Creditor Account Details window.
On the Details tab of the Non Account Details window.
On the Details tab of the Contacts window. Opportunities use the social media details set up for the company that they are associated with. If you do not know social media details for a company or Contact, they can be searched for and filled
in automatically from the Social tab.
Note: The LinkedIn ID must be the numerical ID, not a username. The Facebook ID can be a
numerical ID or a Facebook username, if one has been set up.
The Social Tab
Social media information is displayed on the Social tab, which is available on the Debtor, Creditor,
Non Account, Opportunity and Contact screens
Note: The Disable Social Media Tabs profile setting can be used to hide this tab on some or all of
these screens.
If no details have been entered social media account details for the company/Contact/Opportunity being viewed, each sub‐tab displays the results of a search for the company/Contact/Opportunity’s name. Each search result has a keep button next to it; clicking this button populates the company/Contact/ Opportunity’s social media details with the details from that search result. (EXO
EXO Super User Training Manual Momentum Software Solutions Page | 25
Business captures as many details as it can; for example, LinkedIn search results may also specify a website and a Twitter feed ‐ these details will be copied as well if they are not already present.) Once account details have been entered or found, the following social media information is displayed:
Twitter ‐ The company/Contact/Opportunity’s Twitter feed.
Facebook ‐ The contents of the company/Contact/Opportunity’s Facebook wall.
LinkedIn ‐ All of the company/Contact/Opportunity’s activity on LinkedIn.
LinkedIn Connections ‐ All of the company’s employees, sorted by degree of connection to the logged in user.
Note: The LinkedIn Connections tab is available for Opportunities only.
Each sub‐tab has a More Results link at the bottom. Clicking this button opens a separate browser window to display the company’s Twitter feed, Facebook wall or LinkedIn page. On all tabs, each entry has a keep button ‐ clicking this button copies the entry to the
company/Contact/ Opportunity’s History Notes tab
Company vs. Personal Account
On the Facebook and LinkedIn sub‐tabs, buttons are available to switch between the user’s personal account and the company account:
Your Account ‐ when using the company account, this button switches to using the personal account.
Company Account ‐ when using the personal account, this button switches to using the company account.
Log Off ‐ when using the personal account, this button logs off the personal account. If the user has not specified a personal account, they will be prompted to log on the first time they go to a sub‐tab on the Social tab. The details they enter will be saved against their Staff record in the EXO Business database.
Social Media Widgets
The following widgets are available to display social information about your own company on dashboard displays (see page 505):
My Company’s Twitter Mentions
My Company’s Facebook Wall
My Company’s LinkedIn Activity These widgets use the account IDs entered in EXO Business Config; if no details have been entered,
these widgets perform a search for the Company Name as set up in EXO Business Config > Company
> Company Details.
EXO Super User Training Manual Momentum Software Solutions Page | 26
SYSTEM SETTINGS
The System section of the Configuration Assistant and the EXO Business Config application contains
settings that affect the operation or appearance of the EXO Business system.
Display Names
Display Names allows customisation of the reference names displayed for some generic functions.
Examples include the names for Debtor Secondary Group (e.g. change to "Sales Region"), and Job
Costing Description (e.g. change to "Problem"). Highlight a record you want to change the display
name and click Edit. You can then enter the following details and click Save.
Field Description
Display Name
Enter the name that you want to appear on EXO Business applications
Display Hint
Enter the hint text that you want to appear when a user hovers the mouse pointer over the name on EXO Business applications.
Note: Group IDs are system‐generated and not customisable.
Event Log
This section is available in EXO Business Config only. It is where you set up the Event Log.
MYOB EXO Business includes the ability to maintain an audit log of key events that you may want to
track. For certain events in EXO Business, you can identify the event, and record the reason and time
of the event, and who performed it. Audit events can occur in multiple places throughout the
software. The event types are referred to as Event Reason Classes and are hooks in the system
provided by EXO Business. Tracking of each class is optional. You can set up a list of valid reasons
within each class to be chosen at run time. An additional comment may be entered by the user for
each event instance should a “covering note” be required.
For example, if you activate the Event Reason Class corresponding to a Debtor’s Stop Credit flag being changed, the following window appears whenever you change the Stop Credit field on a Debtor account:
EXO Super User Training Manual Momentum Software Solutions Page | 27
Multiple reasons are available for selection, and additional comments can be entered if necessary. If the event is activated, but set to “Silent”, this window will not appear; the event will be logged, but the user will not be alerted. EXO Business
Event Reason Classes
EXO Business provides a list of Event Reason Classes that tie in with business events (usually exceptions) throughout the application suite. These are usually security‐related, such as monitoring changes to stop credit settings of Debtor and Creditor accounts. Event Reason Classes are defined by EXO Business and cannot be created by the user. By default, most Event Reason Classes are set to inactive, the exceptions being the classes for Ledger Lock and Record Lock. The users can elect to activate a reason class either silently or interactively. When the class is interactive the user is required to configure a list of reasons to be selected at run time. Event Reason Classes are maintained at EXO Business Config > System > Event Log > Event Reason
Classes.
Double click a class to edit it:
EXO Super User Training Manual Momentum Software Solutions Page | 28
The fields on this screen are:
Field Description
Name This will be the caption of the window requesting a reason for the logged activity.
Description This displays a more explicit description to indicate circumstances of use to the user
Active
This field has 3 possible settings:
No – An audit log will not be maintained for this Reason Class
Yes – A window will be displayed requesting the user choose a reason for this event.
Silent – No window will be displayed, instead an event log entry will be created silently.
Note: You must set Event Reasons for any class that is set to “Active” or “Silent”
History Notes Ticking this option will also create an entry in the History Notes of the primary entity (Debtor, Creditor, Stock item, Job).
Has Reference When this option is ticket, an extra field is available on the Event Reason window, allowing users to record a reference with the logged Event. If this option is ticked, you must also set a Reference Name
Reference Name This specifies the label for the reference field on the Event Reason window, e.g. “Voucher? For a discount override.
Event Reasons
Event Reasons within an Event Reason Class form a list of reasons that can be chosen at run time when an event is logged. With the exception of the ledger and record lock reason classes, which cannot be deactivated, EXO Business does not automatically set up any reasons. You must establish at least one reason for each class you want to activate. Event Reasons are maintained at EXO Business Config > System > Event log > Event Reasons. Click New to create a new Event Reason:
EXO Super User Training Manual Momentum Software Solutions Page | 29
The fields on this screen are:
Field Description
Class This is Event Reason Class that the reason belongs to
Name This is the name of the reason that will selectable in the list when an event for the class occurs.
Description This is a short description to indicate to the user the circumstances when this reason should be used
Report Code Determines the sequence reasons appear in the list within a reason class
Must Fill Reference
This option is available if Has Reference is ticked for the reason’s class. Ticking this option will prevent the reference from being left blank when an event is logged for this reason.
Extra Fields
To allow the capture of customised information, MYOB EXO Business supports Extra Fields. These
are flexible points of data entry that can be defined at implementation time. They are used to collect
information at time of data entry, to appear on forms or to be analysed and reported.
Examples of use of extra fields are many and varied, but could include:
• Capturing demographic information at the point of sale
• Custom personal information about customers, such as birth dates or anniversaries
EXO Super User Training Manual Momentum Software Solutions Page | 30
• Recording specific information on stock items, such as warranty terms or links to images
Extra fields can be created in various areas of MYOB EXO Business, including:
• • Sales orders
• • Purchase orders
• • Debtor, Creditor and GL accounts
• • Contacts
• • Stock items
• • Invoices
Extra fields appear on account masters and transaction entry windows through the extra field tab or
through the line periscope.

transaction windows, they appear on the header or line periscope windows.
EXO Super User Training Manual Momentum Software Solutions Page | 34
UNDERSTANDING PROFILE SETTINGS
Settings that are specific to the company, users or computers are stored in profiles. The Profiles
section allows configuration and management of the various profile settings in MYOB EXO Business.
Default Company, User, Computer profiles are provided, but customised profiles can also be created.
These “descend” from the default profiles, allowing unique profiles to be created as required.
For example, a Sales user profile could be set up with options relevant to the Sales team. A
descendant profile could then be created for the Sales Manager which has the same settings as the
rest of the sales team, but has also has the rights to issue credit documents.
Profiles are then assigned to individual users or computers, or to groups of users or computers as
appropriate. This allows groups of users to have the same profile assigned to them, allowing quick
configuration without having to create an individual profile for each user.
Tip: The PROFILE_FIELDS database table contains all of the EXO Business profile settings. You can
also use the Profile Listing report to list all profiles according to module.
EXO Super User Training Manual Momentum Software Solutions Page | 35
Profile Types
The three profile types are all accessed from the Profiles section.
Company Profile
The Company profile stores company‐wide settings. Because MYOB EXO Business only supports one
company per database, only one company profile can exist. As such, this profile is given the name of
the registered company.
User Profiles
User profiles relate to options that are applicable to specific users, e.g. granting the user the rights to
edit account information. User profiles are then attached to staff at Staff > Users.
Computer Profiles
Computer Profiles store settings related to the computer hardware, or the computer’s network location in a workplace. These settings include printer settings for forms and reports (because most printout destinations are associated with where the computer is located), hardware related issues (such as EFTPOS terminal hardware), and mapped file directories. Computer profiles are assigned to physical computers at Staff > Computers.
Hierarchy ‐ Each profile has default settings, and these form the default profiles (e.g. the Company
Profile, Default User Profile, and the Default Computer Profile).
In a simple business, these default settings may be overridden and all users and computers could use
the same settings.
However, in most business, different users and different workstations require different settings.
MYOB EXO Business uses a parent/child model, where descending profiles inherit the settings of the
parent. Each child profile can then override individual settings to suit specific needs. Note that
changing any settings of a parent profile will also be reflected in the child profile, unless the child
profile setting is explicitly overwritten.
For example, a descendant of the Default User Profile could be created for the Sales Team, which is
set up with all the usual salesperson rights and access. A descendant of the Sales Team profile could
be created for the Sales Manager, which inherits all the settings of the Sales team, but then has an
additional setting to allow credit transactions to be created.
To continue the example, a second descendant of the Default User Profile could also be created for
the Finance Team. And a descendant of the Finance team could be created for the Finance Manager,
who was given the ability to post to prior periods.
EXO Super User Training Manual Momentum Software Solutions Page | 36
Creating Profiles ‐ The default Company, User, and Computer profiles exist in all databases. These
may be altered directly, or descendant profiles created.
To create a new profile:
1. Select the parent profile, and click New. A prompt will appear to name the new profile. A
new profile will then be created, and inherits all the settings of the parent profile.
2. The individual Profile Settings of this new profile can then be set or changed as needed.
These changes override the settings of the parent profile.
When an individual setting is selected, relevant help notes are displayed in the panel at the bottom
of the window. This may also detail restrictions when operating certain profile combinations.
The Show/Hide Parent Settings button ( ) shows all of the profile settings by default. Toggling
this button on shows only the profile settings that have been explicitly set in the current profile,
highlighting the specific differences between the parent and the child profiles.
Filtering and Searching Profile Settings ‐ Filters at the top of the window can be applied to help
locate relevant profile settings. For example, entering “serial” and clicking Find will display only
profiles settings that reference serial numbers.
Note: Multiple words are treated as an exact phrase for filtering. Separate words with a comma to
search for settings that contain the words in any combination. For example, entering “account
group” will display only those settings that contain the phrase “account group”; entering “account,
group” will display settings that contain the words “account” and “group” anywhere.
To further categorise profile settings, each setting is classified by module and function. Choose
Modules from the box at the top left of the screen. All application modules and their functions are
displayed in a tree to the left of the profile settings. Clicking on a module or function on the tree will
refine the list of profile settings to just that module or function.
The profile settings can also be filtered by Program, e.g. select Finance to show only those profiles
related to Finance.
Finally, profiles can be filtered by commonality. For instance, selecting only the Frequently Used
profile settings will only show the most common configuration options needed in setting up a site.
Approaches to Setting up Profiles ‐ A layer‐by‐layer approach may be taken to setting the various
profiles. Normally only one type of filter would be applied at a time, and this would help determine
the approach taken to configuring the profiles. For example: Clear the search field and step through
all the Company profile settings, then all the User profile settings, and the Computer profile settings.
EXO Super User Training Manual Momentum Software Solutions Page | 37
Use a filter to set all relevant options in a specific area of interest. For example, set the Word filter to
“serial”, then step through the company profile settings, user profile setting, and computer profile
settings one‐by‐one to set all the options pertaining to serial numbers.
Perform a module search, and only have the Frequently Used commonality option selected. Then
step through the company profile settings, user profile settings, and computer profile settings one‐
by‐one to set all the most common options used in an implementation. A second pass could then be
done later on the Frequently Used options for more “finer” detail setting, or individual settings
located and set as needed.
Select the first Module in the module tree with no filter applied. Step through the company profile
settings, then user profile settings, and computer profile settings, to set the ‘Contacts’ settings one‐
by‐one. Then select the second Module, (i.e. Creditors), and do the same. And then repeat through
all modules.
Normally a layer‐by‐layer approach is taken, covering the main areas first and followed by a more
selective approach once the initial setup is complete. However, the method chosen is a personal
preference, and a combination of methods could be used to suit the situation.
More information relating to Profile Fields can be found at Appendix A on pg 81
EXO Super User Training Manual Momentum Software Solutions Page | 38
FORMS
Clarity Form Profiles
The Forms section gives various profiles access to different MYOB EXO Business forms. The Company
profile specifies the Clarity files for a selection of forms.
Note: Clarity forms and reports must be stored at the directory specified in the computer profile
options Directory for Custom Clarity forms (.CLR,.CLF and. FMT) or Directory for Standard Clarity
Forms(.CLR,.CLF and .FMT). MYOB EXO Business looks into the Custom Clarity Directory first before
going into the Standard clarity Directory.
User profiles configure a variety of user prompts relating to forms.
Computer profiles contain the following settings for each form:
Destination A form’s primary destination can be set to None, Printer, File, Viewer, Email or
Grid.
Email Option Tick this box to send a copy of this document via email, in addition to sending
a copy to the specified destination. All email options are conditional upon the "Email client"
profile setting being enabled for the user.
Output Device This is the file format that is used if the Destination is set to “File”. If the
Email Option is ticked, it is the file format of the attachment.
Commonly viewable graphics file formats are PDF and BMP. Text and spreadsheet options
are also available. If the email option is disabled and the primary destination is printer or
screen this option can be only printer or screen.
Printer Name This is the Windows UNC name for the printer. This printer must be one that is already
available to you in the Windows printer settings list.
Note: Clarity forms and reports must be stored at the directory specified in the computer profile
options Directory for Custom Clarity forms (.CLR,.CLF and .FMT) or Directory for Standard Clarity
Forms (.CLR, .CLF and.FMT)
MYOB EXO Business looks into the Custom Clarity Directory first before going into the Standard
Clarity Directory. User profiles configure a variety of user prompts relating to forms. Computer
profiles contain the following settings for each form:
EXO Super User Training Manual Momentum Software Solutions Page | 39
Field Description
Destination
A form’s primary destination can be set to None, printer, File, Viewer, Email or Grid.
Email Option
Tick this box to send a copy of this document via email, in addition to sending a copy to the specified destination. All email options are conditional upon the “Email client” profile setting being enabled for the user.
Output Device
This is the file format that is used if the Destination is set to “File”. If the Email Option is ticked it is the file format of the attachment. Commonly viewable graphics file formats are PDF and BMP. Text and spreadsheet options are also available. If the email option is disabled and the primary destination is printer or screen this option can be only printer or screen.
Printer Name
This is the Windows UNC name for the printer. This print must be one that is already available to you in the Windows printer settings list.
EXO Super User Training Manual Momentum Software Solutions Page | 40
CUSTOM BUTTONS
MYOB EXO Business allows you to add user‐defined buttons to the toolbars of certain windows :
These buttons can be used to add functionality to the relevant windows, for example, to launch an
external application or run a Clarity report. It is possible to pass parameters from the current
window to the application or report launched by the custom button.
The following EXO Business windows support custom buttons:
Contacts
Creditor Account Details
Debtor Account Details
Opportunities
Purchase Orders
Sales Orders
Stock Item Details
Works Orders
Note: The EXO Business Job Costing and POS modules also support custom buttons, as does the
Stock Requests feature of the Distribution Advantage module.
Setting Up Custom Buttons ‐ Custom buttons are controlled by User‐level profile settings (see page
51), which are set up in EXO Business Config.
EXO Super User Training Manual Momentum Software Solutions Page | 41
Each button has two profile settings: one that specifies the caption for the button and one that
specifies the command that should be run when the button is clicked. For example, to add a custom
button to the Debtors window, configure the settings:
Debtor custom button 1 caption
Debtor custom button 1 command line Both settings must be configured; if either setting is blank, the custom button will not appear on the
window’s toolbar.
Caption Setting ‐ The text entered for the “caption” profile setting of a custom button appears
when the mouse pointer is hovered over the custom button:
Command Line Setting ‐ The text entered for the “command line” profile setting of a custom button
specifies the command that will run when the button is clicked.
To run an external program, enter: “MyProg.EXE <LOGIN> <CURRENT>“
Where <LOGIN> passes the database connection details and <CURRENT> passes out the key field
identifier (most commonly the SEQNO) of the current record that you have loaded on the screen at
the time that you press the button.
Any parameter entered with the extension .CLR will assume that you want to run a clarity report and
will call Clarity directly. It is not necessary that Clarity.EXE exist to do this, for example:
“MYREPORT.CLR /S=SEQNO=<CURRENT>“
EXO Super User Training Manual Momentum Software Solutions Page | 42
STAFF
Menus
The Menu Designer lets you set up customised user menus for all MYOB EXO Business modules.
These menus, once defined, are then assigned to one or more staff members, possibly organised by
the company staff structure. By setting up different menu structure for different users, you can
restrict certain functions to those users with the authority to access them, and customize the
appearance of the EXO Business interface to suit the needs of the organization.
Dropdown Menu
Dropdown Menus determine the layout of the MYOB EXO Business menus. Each Dropdown Menu
listed in the Configuration Assistant defines the menus for all of the EXO Business modules. The top
level of each menu is restricted to File, Account, Transactions, Reports, Utilities, Setup and Help.
Below that, the menus are fully user‐definable, allowing the menus under the menu groupings to be
defined to meet a user’s specific needs.
A selection of Dropdown Menus are available by default. Two of them, EXO Business Master and
EXO Business Default, are provided as “maximum” and “minimum” examples of menu
configurations, and cannot be changed directly. Instead, they can be copied using the Copy Menu
toolbar button ( ) to form the basis of a new custom menu. All other default menus can be edited.
TIP: The dropdown Menu assigned to the current user is highlighted in green.
To add a new Dropdown Menu:
1. Select the module whose menu you want to edit from the Program box, then click New to
create a new menu.
The left‐hand pane holds the “blank” menu structure, showing the top level menu items File,
Account and so on. The right‐hand pane contains a list of all available menu procedures.
2. In the Name field, enter a new name for the menu, which will be referred to when assigning
the menu to users.
3. Enter some text into in the Filter field to filter the list of menu procedures.

6. In the Parameters field, enter any relevant parameters for the menu item.
7. Optionally select a shortcut key and icon for the menu item. This will appear on the shortcut
menu in the title bar of the module whose menu you are configuring.
8. Click OK to save the menu structure. A dialog will appear to give the opportunity to add the
option to other menu profiles:
Clicking Yes will provide a dialog box, allowing this option to be added to other menu
profiles.
9. Select the Menu Names required, or click Select All to add the menu item to all menu
profiles. Click OK to complete.
10. The menu item will be added as the last item in the menu branch. To move an item around
the menu structure, drag the menu item to a new position, or right‐click on the item and use
the Move Up or Move Down options.
11. To add a separator bar between menus, add the pseudo menu procedure “‐‐‐Separator‐‐‐“.
This will place a divider in the menu.
12. To add a sub‐menu, add a separator bar, but rename the caption to the sub‐menu header
required. The will form the branch of the sub‐menu, and individual menu items can then be
dragged and dropped onto this branch.
13. To delete a menu item, right‐click on it and select Delete, or Delete from Multiple Profile to
14. Once the menu is set up, click Save to save the changes.
Note: Giving a user the Menu Designer option should be done with caution, as this means they can
then grant themselves access to other parts of the system.
Export and Import options are available on the menu toolbar, which create text files that can be
manipulated (e.g. using Notepad) and re‐imported to create new menus. This mechanism can also
be used to move menus between EXO Business sites.
EXO Super User Training Manual Momentum Software Solutions Page | 44
Business Flow Menu
Business Flow Menus define the structure and appearance of the main section of each MYOB EXO
Business module interface. A Business Flow Menu can contain buttons, menus and links to user‐
defined functions, as well as graphical elements to customize the look and feel of the interface.
Business Flow Menus are optional. If no Business Flow Menu is specified, the EXO Business module
interface will contain only the main dropdown menu.
Default Business Flow Menus are available to mimic the appearance of the MYOB Premier and
MYOB Aurora One products, to provide familiarity for user migrating from those products. Default
menus can be copied with the Copy Menu button ( ) and used as the basis of a new menu.

7. Size and position the item using the CTRL and SHIFT keys.
To add a tabbed layout to a Business Flow Menu:
Two varieties of tabbed layouts are available: Standard and Enhanced. Enhanced layouts allow
transparency and mouse over effects; Standard layouts do not allow these effects, but are more
flexible with how tab buttons can be arranged.
1. Click on the MultiPage > Standard > Multipage or Multipage > Enhanced > Multipage item on
the Menu Designer Toolbox, then click anywhere on the WorkSpace to place it.
Tip: Standard MultiPages have a TabPos properly that lets you specify which side of the multipage
tabs will appear on. Enhanced Multipages can only have tabs at the top.
2. Size and position the MultiPage using the CTRL and SHIFT keys.
3. Click on the MultiPage > Standard > Tabsheet or Multipage > Enhanced > Tabsheet item on
the Designer Toolbox, then click on the MultiPage. Enter a name and optionally an image
then click OK. This adds a tab to the top of the MultiPage.
Note: Enhanced tabsheets allow more than one image to be specified. These images correspond to
the various states of the tab button, e.g. inactive, active, hover.
4. Repeat step 3 to add more tabs to the MultiPage.
EXO Super User Training Manual Momentum Software Solutions Page | 48
5. Click on a tab, then drag other items such as links and buttons onto the MultiPage. These
items will only appear when that tab is clicked.
6. Click on another tab. The items you added to the previous tab will disappear. Drag more
items to the MultiPage for this tab.
7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 for all tabs.
8. The tabbed layout works in real time on the Menu designer: click on a tab to view the items
that will appear on that tab.
To add a Dashboard interface to a Business Flow Menu:
A procedure called "Dashboard" is available in the list of procedures; dragging this procedure onto a
Business Flow Menu means that a Dashboard interface will be available when running the module.
The Dashboard can be customised and widgets can be added to it at run time. It is also possible to
add a working Dashboard interface that can be edited at design time:
1. Click on the Panels > Dock Panel item on the Menu Designer Toolbox, then click anywhere
on the WorkSpace to place it. A Dashboard interface appears on the WorkSpace.
2. Size and position the Dashboard using the CTRL and SHIFT keys.
Tip: To have the Dashboard take up all of the available area, set its Align properly to “Client”
3. Click on the Panels > Panel item on the Menu Designer Toolbox, then click on the Dashboard. This adds a panel and automatically converts it to a Dashboard widget.
4. Repeat step 3 to add more widgets to the Dashboard.
5. Click on a widget, then drag other items such as links and buttons onto the widget. Repeat for all widgets.
Special Procedures ‐ The “Task Scheduler” and “Dashboards” procedures can be “docked” in the
WorkSpace, so that they appear as part of the core EXO Business interface, rather than appearing in
a new window.
When dragging either of these procedures onto the WorkSpace, enter “D” into the Custom field for
the procedure to indicate that it is dockable. Enter “DR” to indicate that it is dockable and resizable.
The Align property should be set to "Client".
Menu Definition
A menu definition is a set consisting of a Dropdown Menu and a Business Flow Menu. Menu
definitions are associated with users at Staff > Users, and determine which menus will be used for
that user.
Tip: The definition assigned to the current user is highlighted in green.
EXO Super User Training Manual Momentum Software Solutions Page | 49
To set up a Menu Definition:
Click New to create a new definition, or Edit to alter an existing one.
1. 1. Enter a Name for the definition. 2. Select the Drop Down Menu for this definition. 3. Select a Business Flow Menu for this definition, or click Clear if you do not want to display a
Business Flow Menu. 4. Click Save to save the settings.
Profile Assignment
Staff
The Staff section of the Configuration Assistant and the EXO Business Config application is where
you set up customised menus, as well as records for users (staff members), computers and security
profiles.
The Users section is used to set up new staff members. This includes personal details (such as Job
Title and Phone details) and authority values (creditor invoice limits, purchase order limits). Users
are configured at:
The Staff > Profile Assignment > Staff section of EXO Business Config
The Staff > Users section of the Configuration Assistant
The Users section also manages login access to MYOB EXO Business (see page 24). The staff member
is assigned a Login ID, and a password managed with the Change Password button. The Account
Status setting shows and/or sets the status of the user’s account and password (Account OK, Locked,
or Expired).
The Users section is also where Profiles are associated with the user. Specifically, this is where the
user is assigned a User Profile (to define user‐specific settings), a Security Profile (to determine how
the user’s password is managed), and a Menu Definition (to associate a menu structure with the
user).
EXO Super User Training Manual Momentum Software Solutions Page | 50
Computer
Computer profiles store settings related to the computer hardware, or the computer’s location in a
workplace. These settings include form and report printer settings (because most printout
destinations are associated with where the computer is located in a workplace), hardware related
settings (such as EFTPOS terminal hardware), and mapped file directories. Computers are configured
at:
The Staff > Profile Assignment > Computer section of EXO Business Config
The Staff > Computers section of the Configuration Assistant
The Computers section manages the association of computer profiles to physical
workstations.
Note: User interface preferences such as customised ExoGrids and screen selection check boxes are stored in the user’s Window’s registry, to ensure they are unique per user. These settings will therefore ‘follow’ the Windows login. Computer (and user) profiles can be shared by more than one computer or user, and are therefore not suitable for this purpose. To assign a computer profile to a computer:
1. Alter the computer profile selection method by clicking the toolbar button (note that
changing this setting mid‐operation may result in having to delete and remap computer
profiles). Options available are:
GUID – the historical method where a unique identifier is stored within the computer’s
registry. This works fine if the Windows Login user is consistent, however this may not
be appropriate as network operating systems tighten security and workstations have
multiple users. This option will not work in a Terminal Services environment.
ComputerName, ClientName – two separate options which are relevant for some
operating systems, but not others. For instance, ComputerName is suitable for
Windows XP as uniquely identifying the workstation, but in some Terminal Services
environments the ComputerName is the main server and ClientName is the unique
username.
ComputerName + ClientName – a compound setting that is unique in most mixed
operating system environments, and is the normal suggested setting.
2. Double‐click on the appropriate computer name to assign a profile.
3. Select the required Computer Profile from the drop‐down selection.
The computer running MYOB EXO Business needs to be associated with a computer profile.
However, a computer cannot be assigned a profile until that computer runs an EXO Business
application, which then "registers" the computer with EXO Business, giving the configuration
applications a reference with which to associate a profile.
EXO Super User Training Manual Momentum Software Solutions Page | 51
To assist, EXO Business has a Company‐level profile setting Use Default Profiles, which if enabled,
will assign any new computer the default computer profile. If this setting is disabled, the user will be
prompted to select a computer profile the first time an EXO Business application is run on the
computer.
If a user regularly moves their notebook computer between offices (or maybe home and office),
then the computing environment could change radically. For instance, different printers could be
available or the preferred location to obtain reports from could change.
Security Profiles
The Security Profiles section controls options relating to login/password security. Security options include areas such as password complexity and how often the password must be changed. While
more than one security profile can exist, most sites generally will just alter the default profile. Security profiles are available at:
Profiles > Security Profiles and Staff > Profile Assignment > Security Profiles in EXO Business
Config
Staff > Security Profiles in the Configuration Assistant
Security profiles are attached to staff through the Staff > Users section.
Note: Security profiles do not control the user’s access to parts of MYOB EXO Business; user access is
controlled by User profile settings, combined with menu access.

QUICK INSERTS
Overview ‐ Quick Insert is method to facilitate importation of data and to enable rapid updates of
multiple records in a grid format, without the use of third party database explorer tools.
It is used by EXO to control the quick insert tabs of account groups and product groups etc, but it can
also be used to define Quick insert tabs with validation for user defined tables.
It is assumed that the operator is familiar with relational database technologies and the EXO
schema. If you are unsure of the effects of using these tools please ask your EXO implementation
partner for advice on its use.
The purpose of this section is to outline the standard configuration and demonstrate the
functionality to readers already familiar with the EXO relational database.

Choose from menu:
EXO Super User Training Manual Momentum Software Solutions Page | 56
ExoCfg> Utilities> Quick Insert> Tabsheets
EXO Super User Training Manual Momentum Software Solutions Page | 57
The tabsheet name ‘STOCK_GROUPS’ is used by the system to link the ExoCfg> Admin> Stock> Stock
Groups setup screen to the specified template name ‘STOCK_GROUPS.tem’.
If ‘Is active’ is selected, a ‘Quick Insert’ tab will appear in the ExoCfg> Admin> Stock> Stock Groups
setup screen:
If there is no valid tabsheet record for the ExoCfg> Admin> Stock> Stock Groups setup screen, i.e.,
there is no record, or the tabsheet name is incorrect, you will get a message informing you of this
EXO Super User Training Manual Momentum Software Solutions Page | 58
when selecting the ExoCfg> Admin> Stock> Stock Groups setup screen, so that you can add/correct
the tabsheet record:
It is intended that EXO will insert a tabsheet record as a setup screen is programmatically enabled to
a show a Quick Insert tab. It is desirable that EXO will provide a default template file for the setup
screen at the same time, but not necessary, as a template can be created by the end‐user (see
below).
Using a Quick Insert Tab:
Setup records can be quickly inserted/edited/deleted using the Quick Insert tab, as an alternative to
using the usual New, Edit, Delete options to change one record at a time:
Changes must be saved or cancelled before the user can move off the Quick Insert tab:

Preview the template, and then save it.
The template file is saved as readable text:
EXO Super User Training Manual Momentum Software Solutions Page | 67
This file can be edited directly, for example, adding an extra column:
<COLUMN=GROUPNO_INVALID,"CAPTION=Invalid Group No">
If templates are passed around and loaded on different databases, there is the likelihood of none‐
existent columns. Also, columns may be spelt incorrectly (if entered manually). If we save the
manual template edition above, and then edit the template within ExoCfg, we will see it in the
Invalid Columns list:
EXO Super User Training Manual Momentum Software Solutions Page | 68
On saving the template, the user will be informed of any invalid columns, but there is no harm
leaving them there, as they will simply be ignored when the template is loaded for use:

ExoCfg> Utilities> Quick Insert> Utility
The Quick Insert Utility lists all the templates:
Double click or press ENTER on a template to load it:
EXO Super User Training Manual Momentum Software Solutions Page | 71
Once a template is loaded, records in the template table can be inserted, edited and deleted, the
generator/identity can be set, the table can be purged, the data file can be loaded, and the template
options can be viewed and changed.
Gen/Ident:
After entering a new generator/identity value in the Value field (in the header), select the ‘Gen’ /
‘Ident’ option to save the value. The user will be asked to confirm the new value:
Values less than the maximum primary key / identity column value are not permitted:
Purge:
EXO Super User Training Manual Momentum Software Solutions Page | 72
The Purge option will delete all records from the table and reset the generator/identity value. The
user will be asked to confirm a purge:
Once a purge has occurred, the user must still Save or Cancel this action:
Options:
To view the template options, select the Options button.
EXO Super User Training Manual Momentum Software Solutions Page | 73
These options can be changed on the fly and have an immediate effect to the template (on selecting
OK), provided there are no unsaved changes, in which case the user is informed on entering the
Options screen (and the Ok button is disabled):
Data file options:
These options are used when loading a data file into the grid. The data file name specifies the file to
load when the Data option (see below) is selected. The ‘Purge records first’ option will purge the
table of all records before loading the data file. If the data file contains column names as the first
row, ensure the ‘Includes column names’ option is selected. This option is handy when the column
order may not be the same as in the template, or there are less columns in the file than in the grid,
in which case the template columns are reloaded to reflect this. Select the delimiter in the ‘Delimits
columns with’ option that is used in the data file to separate columns.
Clipboard copy / paste options:
If the user is copying / pasting data directly to / from the grid, ensure these settings are set
appropriately. If the ‘Copy column captions’ option is selected, a copy from the grid will copy the
column captions as the first row (handy for documentation purposes). The ‘Copy / paste column
names’ option can be used to copy the column names (handy when need to know the actual column
EXO Super User Training Manual Momentum Software Solutions Page | 74
name when creating the data file (see above)), and it can be used when pasting text from the
clipboard that includes the column names as the first row (in which case the columns are reloaded
(see above)). The ‘Columns delimited with’ option specifies how the text being copied / pasted is
delimited.
General options:
This list options that are not specific to the 2 sections above. If the ‘Update existing records’ option is
selected, and a record which already exists is being pasted to the grid (either from the data file or
directly from the clipboard), the record is simply located and updated, rather than giving a ‘unique
key violation’ error. This option assumes there is a single primary key column, and that it is the first
one in the column list.
Data:
The Data option is only enabled when there is a valid data file name specified in the Options screen.
If this option is selected, the table is purged (if the ‘Purge records first’ option is selected), the data
file is opened and its contents is copied to the clipboard, and then pasted to the grid as per the data
file options and the ‘Update existing records’ option specified (see above).
Save/Cancel:
The changes to the data grid must be saved or canceled before moving off the tab. Changes are only
applied to the database once the Save option is selected. To undo all changes (since the last Save or
Cancel), select the Cancel option.
Editing / Inserting / Deleting data in the grid
To edit a record, simply select the row / column and start typing. Lookup columns need the value to
be selected from a drop down list. Once in the lookup up column, either click the column again,
press the SPACEBAR or simply type the first letter of the value you want to select, to show the list.
Columns with constraints will validate when moving off the column, e.g., entering ‘n’ in the ‘Is
Active’ column will show the following error:
Pressing ESCAPE will undo the change just made.
EXO Super User Training Manual Momentum Software Solutions Page | 75
To insert a record, press the DOWN arrow and start typing in the new row just inserted. This row will
contain any defaults specified on the Column properties, e.g. ‘WELLINGTON’ (Branch No 2) for the
BRANCHNO lookup column. The row will only be posted once all required fields are set, e.g., if the
user arrows off the line before setting the active flag the following message will be shown:
If the user attempts to save invalid changes, the following message will be shown:
Multiple records can be selected at once (by holding down the Shift key and arrow up/down, or by
holding down the Control key and clicking the row with the mouse) and then deleted by pressing the
Control‐Delete keys and answering Ok to the confirmation.
Creating a data file
To create the ‘StockGroups.csv’ data file specified on the TEST_STOCK_GROUPS.tem template
(which does not yet exist in the Quick Insert data directory):
Load the template in ExoCfg> Utilities> Quick Insert> Utility, select the Options option, and select the
‘Copy / paste column names’ option, and select OK:
EXO Super User Training Manual Momentum Software Solutions Page | 76
Right click on the grid title and select the ‘Copy to clipboard’ option.
In Excel, select New and paste the text just copied to the clipboard, and resize the columns:
Remove the first row of captions, delete the PURCH_GL_CODE and PURCH_GLSUBCODE columns,
move the ISACTIVE column, and tweak the data:
EXO Super User Training Manual Momentum Software Solutions Page | 77
Save the spreadsheet as ‘StockGroups.csv’ and close it, ensuring that it is saved in CSV format
(readable from Notepad).
Data files can also be created with a Tab column delimiter, by copying cells from Excel and pasting
into Notepad. The data file ‘Delimits columns with’ options would need to be set to ‘Tab’, and the
data file name would need to point to this file:
Using the data file created
Reload the template in ExoCfg> Utilities> Quick Insert> Utility and see that the Data option is now
enabled:
EXO Super User Training Manual Momentum Software Solutions Page | 78
Select the Data option to load the data file:
Note that the original records have been purged. If this is not desired, press Cancel to cancel this
data load. Then select the Options option, unselect the ‘Purge records first’ option, then select OK.
Select the Data option again and note that the data file records have been appended:
EXO Super User Training Manual Momentum Software Solutions Page | 79
Select the Data option again and notice that nothing appears to change. The data file records are
actually be loaded, but they are simply locating the existing record and updating it. To illustrate this,
first save the changes, and then select the Options, unselect the ‘Update existing records’ option and
select OK:
