The way you create clients and contacts differs depending on whether you use MYOB Practice with or without MYOB AE/AO.
The information in this tab only applies if you have MYOB Practice without MYOB AE/AO.
When you take on a new client, you can create a client record for them in MYOB Practice, so their information and file details are all within easy reach. The database consists of clients and contacts, all of whom have some level of interaction with your practice.
You need to be an MYOB Administrator to create clients, but any staff in your practice can create contacts.
- Select Contacts > Contacts list.
- On the right side, from the Create drop-down, select Contact.
- To create a contact, in the Create contact window, select General and to create a contact, select Client.
Complete all the details.
Make sure to enter a Client code if you are creating a client. This will be helpful if you have clients with similar or identical names. You can search for a client by name or code in most lists.
Click Create.
After creating the client or contact, you can click the email address to create a new email with your device’s default mail application. If you’re accessing the client’s details from a phone, or have software such as Skype on your PC, you can click the phone number to quickly make a call.If the client’s AccountRight or MYOB Essentials file is listed on the Transaction processing page, you can now link this client to their file. Learn more.
You can also add a client from the Transaction processing page. Click Link/Create client for a file and in the dialog that appears, click create a client. Some of the client's details will be prefilled using information contained in the MYOB Essentials or AccountRight file.
- Select All clients from the left side.
- Click the Code to open the client details.
- From the right side of the page, select Edit. The client information will now have editable fields.
- Update the details and click Save.
You can't delete/inactivate clients or contacts at the moment, but we're working on adding this feature in a future release.
To remove a client file from the Transaction processing page, remove them as a user from their file. See Requesting access to a client file.
The information in this tab is for users on the MYOB Partner Program who have MYOB Practice without MYOB AE/AO.
When you take on a new client, you can create a client record for them in MYOB Practice, so their contact information and file details are all within easy reach.

Want to remove a client file from the Transaction processing page? You'll need to be removed as a user from their file. See Requesting access to a client file.
- Click Clients in the side navigation bar, and then click Create client.
- Select the client type – whether they’re an individual, company or other organisation.
- (Optional) Assign a code to the client. This comes in handy when you have clients with similar or identical names. You can search for a client by name or code in most lists.
For example, if you have two clients named Mark Webber, you can assign them unique codes, such as MW1 and MW2 to distinguish them. Enter the client’s name and contact details.
After creating the client, you can click the email address to create a new email with your device’s default mail application. If you’re accessing the client’s details from a phone, or have software such as Skype on your PC, you can click the phone number to quickly make a call.

You can also add a client from the Transaction processing page. Click Link/Create client for a file and in the dialog that appears, click create a client. Some of the client's details will be prefilled using information contained in the MYOB Essentials or AccountRight file.
The information in this tab only applies if you have both MYOB Practice and MYOB AE/AO.
The contacts you've set up in your MYOB AE/AO desktop software will appear automatically in the Contact list in MYOB Practice. This includes each client’s phone number, address, IRD number, family group and associations details you entered in MYOB AE/AO. If you change these details in AE/AO, they will automatically sync with MYOB Practice.
You can't create or edit contact and client details directly in MYOB Practice; you need to make the changes in AE/AO. If you want to link an MYOB Essentials or AccountRight business to a client who doesn't appear in MYOB Practice, you need to create the contact in AE/AO first. If your AE/AO contacts or clients aren't appearing in MYOB Practice, check that contact migration is turned on.
Once you've got your clients in MYOB Practice, you need to set up their tax-related Compliance settings. If later on you need to change these tax-related settings, you can update them directly in the MYOB Practice Compliance settings.
