You can do this by going to **Admin → Integrations → MYOB → Payroll Categories** and using the New Payroll Category button. Alternatively you can use the Generate Categories button to create these categories automatically but this means you will need to make sure that you have added the same categories into MYOB. Until these have been added, no rates will generate. ![](https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/aus-cdn.freshdesk.com/data/helpdesk/attachments/production/51116957414/original/uG9VsmoQvk00VA14X_sFcGM6xxbBKWaG0g.png?1691970283) * Once you have added these payroll categories, you will need to go to **Admin → Integrations → MYOB → Settings** and assign the payroll item assignments. ![](https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/aus-cdn.freshdesk.com/data/helpdesk/attachments/production/51024880515/original/u5EB70vRUSou8GPMPxQ7MLq1uAJp_xu_uA.png?1630281838) * If you would like to use categories, you will need to make sure that you have added these and linked them by going to **Admin → Integrations → MYOB → Categories**. You will need to use the New Category button to manually add them, then you will need to use the Service Org Links button to assign the categories to appropriate service organisations. ![](https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/aus-cdn.freshdesk.com/data/helpdesk/attachments/production/51024881409/original/L6VezK9NDK15daSPpM_o833D7Hh46SC8Eg.png?1630282193) ![](https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/aus-cdn.freshdesk.com/data/helpdesk/attachments/production/51024881542/original/OQt130dFrK8eKrdmmv5f6MYlRpPh_N70ng.png?1630282222) ![](https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/aus-cdn.freshdesk.com/data/helpdesk/attachments/production/51116958403/original/j9gi2iWfJPI5cPP4I1aHUWqiSbc7HwRP6Q.png?1691970483) ![](https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/aus-cdn.freshdesk.com/data/helpdesk/attachments/production/51024883241/original/rupBDR63RVI2Yyts0WB9auYKqpUlonul5g.png?1630282818) \ Adding a Job ID to the Payroll Export. A column is available to add a Job ID to your payroll export. This Job ID is derived from the code applied to a Service Organisation. Go to Admin > Service Organisations > Edit and update to suit. ![](https://support.caremaster.com.au/api/attachments.redirect?id=ee3d450c-0aad-42d8-a632-6ae5057966d1 " =499x159") You will then need to configure your Timesheet job ID Template and update the field. ![](https://support.caremaster.com.au/api/attachments.redirect?id=3f4c23a6-1af6-4246-bc00-c9c4300e9aee) This will then appear on your payroll export. ![](https://support.caremaster.com.au/api/attachments.redirect?id=62d650a3-0f0a-4b61-a5d6-d67c15317700) \ **Generate Payroll CSV File:** Once you have set up the payroll items and assigned them, you can now go to **Admin → Integrations → MYOB → Timesheets**. \ Select the payroll period you want to generate the file for and click on the Search icon. By default it will only show the first 15 workers, but you can change this if required. ![](https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/aus-cdn.freshdesk.com/data/helpdesk/attachments/production/51024883456/original/3kSpjnM5Ehl8_sCV0sP4uuRA8PFpAnjuLg.png?1630282897) If you have any unassigned rates in the settings section, it will let you know that the timesheets may include missing or incorrect payroll items.
