 Combining MYOB Customer Cards - Click here to expand...

If two TFS Clients (Client # 1 and Client # 2) are integrated to MYOB, these clients will have links to a matching MYOB Customer Card. In MYOB there is a feature called Combine Cards that is used to merge two Customer Cards into one. In the example, as one of the MYOB Customer Cards has been deleted, TFS Client #2 will have a link to a MYOB Customer Card that no longer exists and thus when TFS Integration is next performed, the TFS client with a non-existent link will be skipped. These skipped clients should have their TFS Integration Link set to N/A so they will be no longer be integrated. To modify the Integration Link, see Modifying the TFS Integration Link Field.
