Planning Your Integration Implementation

Preparation Phase

After purchasing the Procore + MYOB Advanced Construction integration, this phase includes:

Receive the Welcome Email & Program Kick-Off Call
Procore assigns your account to a Integration Implementation Specialist, who sends a Welcome Email to your company's designated ERP Implementation Contact. The email contains a selection of dates/time for scheduling your Kick-Off call. Please reply back to either confirm or suggest a time that works for the required members on your team.
Prepare for the Kick-Off Call

  - Cost Code Format
  - ProjectID
  - ProjectTemplateID
  - VendorID
  - CustomerID
  - ProjectTaskID

After the implementation is complete, you can begin using the integration. You can also contact to your Procore Integration Implementation Specialist for the next 30 days.

Change Management & the Accounting Approver Role

When your integration is activated, you're organisation will gain access to a new tool in Procore: the ERP Integrations Tool. In this tool, you will manage the flow of information between Procore and MYOB Advanced Construction.

Using this tool to manage integrated data will be the most significant difference between Procore with and without the MYOB Advanced Construction Connector. You will have to provide your Integration Implementation Specialist with a list of the users who will have access to this tool, called accounting approvers, and the specific integration features that each user should manage (e.g., one accounting approver may be allowed to send commitments and progress claims to ERP, and another may be allowed to only send commitments).

For more information on the accounting approver role, see What is the accounting approver role?
To see the integration features for which you can allow/decline access for accounting approvers, see the up-to-date Feature Map in the MYOB Advanced Construction About Page.

In addition to the accounting approvers, you may also choose to give users at your organisation access to the ERP Integrations tool in a view-only capacity.
