Every employee that will be using MYOB OnTheGo will require an unique my.MYOB login that is entered as part of their employee details in MYOB AE/AO.
Access to your onsite MYOB AE/AO server is required for MYOB OnTheGo. The MYOB AE/AO server must be running so that you can access information from your database(s).
