TransPost Version History

Version 4.2.0.0 - Released August 2026

All four products now share a single version number.

Third Horizon Labs

TransPost is now published by Third Horizon Labs Pty Ltd, and the application carries the new branding throughout. The installers are signed under a new Third Horizon Labs certificate, which Windows will not recognise straight away – see Upgrade to TransPost 4.2.0.0 for what to expect and how to check the signature.

Exit codes from command-line runs have changed

Read this before you upgrade if you start TransPost from a scheduled task, a batch file or any other wrapper that checks the exit code. Nothing changes if you only run TransPost from its own window or leave the Windows Service to work the schedule.

Earlier versions always exited with 0 whatever happened, so a failed run looked exactly like a successful one. 4.2.0.0 reports the outcome instead:

Code 3 is the one to watch. A script that treats any non-zero code as a failure will start reporting an error every time a run finds nothing to import, which is a normal result. Treat 0 and 3 as success and 1 and 2 as failure, and send 2 to a person rather than retrying it.

This release also carries various bug fixes and refinements throughout.

4.2.0.0 keeps the per-file MYOB authorisation introduced in 4.1.1 and replaces it as the version to install. Earlier versions stop reaching online company files on 1 September 2026.

Version 4.1.1 - Released August 2026

MYOB authentication changes

MYOB are changing the way add-on applications such as TransPost obtain authorisation to reach online company files. In future each file is authorised individually, so the process has been rewritten at the TransPost end.

Earlier versions of TransPost stop working on 1 September 2026. To keep importing into online files you need to be on 4.1.1 before that date.

This is a new version, so there may be issues, but every transaction type has been tested to confirm that pre-existing import functions behave as they did before. If you find anything that does not, email support@transpost.com.au with the log file and, where relevant, an exported mapping and sample data file.

Version 4.1.1 - full details and download links

Version 4 - Released June 2023

New Features

• Deletion and updates. A new Action field on most mapping types. Action code D deletes a record where the data identifies it uniquely - by invoice number, card ID, unique customer name, job or item number. Invoices with payments cannot be deleted until the payments are; cards, items and jobs cannot be deleted once they have been referenced in a transaction, but they can be updated, including setting them inactive. Action code U updates every field the mapping supplies a value for. In TransPost Express, D is the only action code available.
• Updating sales and purchases. U adds item lines where line data is supplied; R replaces all item lines. Purchases can be updated the same way in TransPost Plus and Premier.
• Converting orders. Action code I converts a sales order to an invoice; in Plus and Premier, B converts a purchase order to a bill.
• Foreign currency in item and service sales and customer payments, and in Plus and Premier also in item and service purchases, bill payments and general journals.
• Stock location field in item sales, and in Plus and Premier in item purchases and inventory adjustments.
• Longer fields - invoice and order numbers, customers number and job number now match the lengths AccountRight permits.

Other Changes

• The separate Configuration & Activation program is gone. Configuring company files and managing your licence are options in the main program, so there is no longer a second program to run as Administrator.
• The licence expiry notice links straight to a web page where the licence can be renewed via PayPal, with a credit or debit card option. Paste in your licence serial - available under Manage License on the Start tab - and the expiry date updates automatically.

Classic AccountRight is not supported in version 4. If you still use it, do not upgrade past version 3.3.7.

Version 4 - full release notes

Version 3.3.7 - Released December 2019

The last release that works with Classic AccountRight (MYOB version 19 and earlier). Downloads are on Getting Started with Version 3.

Version 3.3.6 - Released May 2019

New Features

Customer Payment Allocation

In this version a payment can be allocated automatically over a number of invoices. If a Total Amount value is supplied without a specific invoice number that total amount will be allocated to pay off amount outstanding to invoices starting with the oldest until the total amount is allocated. Any surplus will be applied to the last applicable invoice which may wind up with a credit, but only if gthere are no more suitable invoices to apply it to. To allocate payments all that is required is to identify the customer, by either card ID or name and specify the total paid and the deposit account, which may be set as a default in the mapping. Optional extra fields are:

• Receipt Number - If available it will speed up the process for checking that the payment has not yet been processed. If not supplied AccountRight will generate one.
• Payment Date - We recommend this. Without it it will default to today but the process for checking that the payment has not yet been processed will be slower
• Customers Number - restricts the payment to be applied only to invoices with the specific Customers Number
• Invoice Date - restricts the payment to be applied only to invoices with that date
• Memo as for allocated payments, any text you wish to use to describe the payment

Transfer Money

This simple new transaction imports Transfer Money transactions. It is available only in TransPost Plus and TransPost Premier.

All that it requires is Date, From Account, To Account and Amount. Optionally TransferNumber, Memo and Category can be imported too.

Note: This feature is not available for Classic MYOB.

Activity Slips

Activity Slips have always been available for Classic AccountRight users in TransPost Plus and TransPost Premier. They can now also be imported into AccountRight Live.

Other Changes

When Importing Jobs, if no description is provided one is constructed out of the Customer name if applicable and the Job Number.

Miscellaneous Fixes

The following problems have been fixed:

• In TransPost Plus and Premier, importing Purchases of Items which were not sold now works.
• In Configuration & Activation, the Online Authorisation button would not reliably initiate the process of setting of a new Authorisation when an existing one already existed. This is a problem when the existing authorisation is already linked to a log-in which no longer has the requred permissions, as can occur when the original authorising staff member leaves the business.

  This is now fixed.

• If a license serial number is copy/pasted from an email, applications such as Outlook tended to add a space on the end which invalidated it. As this has been the source of many bewildered support requests, the registration process now strips such spaces off automatically.

Version 3.3.5 - Released December 2018

This release is intended to fix a number of problems that have been reported over recent months. We have also introduced some minor changes.

Changes

Updating Items with new Item Numbers

Item Update now includes a NewItemNumber field. This can be used to change an Item's ItemNumber in AccountRight Live, retaining all the Items history, just like going in and manually changing the code.

Note: This does not work with Classic AccountRight.

Line breaks within fields and numbering in Log references

When a line break occurring in the input file is within a quoted field the line break is treated as part of the data item rather than the end of the record. This deals with data exported from Excel where there are cells with multiple lines within them. The entire text, including the line break, will be passed on to AccountRight Live.

Note: Line breaks cannot be passed to Classic MYOB so they will be replaced by a single space.

If a line representing a single record spans a number of lines in the file because there are line breaks within field then the log will identify the position of the record within the file by its starting and ending line numbers.

Where a log message refers to a line number within a transaction each complete record counts once even if it was input across multiple lines of the file. Fields to be used as column headings will have line breaks replaced with - and the special characters '\,removed. Note: headings used in pre-existing mappings will be converted.

Conditional Tax Code - with tax or without

Many common sources of data, such as online eCommerce and Expense systems provide a tax amount column but not a tax code but AccountRight expects a tax code and will derive it from defaults associated with the account or item referenced. In an environment where line items may either carry GST or be tax free it is not always possible to rely on the default tax code from the account or item number.

We have introduced a special form of 'either or' tax code which specifies the tax code applicable if there is tax and the tax code to use if there is no/zero tax. It is primarily intended to be used in a mapping default and takes the form of two alternative tax codes sparated by ' or '.

For example setting the default tax code to GST or FRE will apply the tax code FRE if there is no tax and GST otherwise. In New Zealand the corresponding code would be S15 or Z.

Miscellaneous Fixes

The following problems have been fixed:

• TransPost Premier will now permit configuring files with different MYOB serial numbers. This is required when upgrading from Classic MYOB to AccountRight Live if the AccountRight Live license has a different serial number and files are being upgraded at different times.
• In TransPost Plus and Premier, Heading lines now work correctly in Purchases. Note: This feature is not available for Classic MYOB.
• A few users were getting the error "Unexpected error 3327 importing settinsg: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host" which turns out to be caused by local system security settings forcibly blocking the response to activation and registration. This has been addressed in versions 3.3.5.571 onwards.
• The Update option for Jobs now works. Existing Jobs can be updated in both AccountRight Live and Classic MYOB.
• Occasional a tax amount of -0.5 cents would appear on tax free items because there was a carry-forward tax rounding. This carry-forward rounding will now only be applied to items with GST.
• When importing SpendMoney transactions TransPost often identified a transaction as already imported because there was a vaguely similar one. It was previously just checking payment number, date, payee card and memo if present, any or all of which might not be sup[plied in the data. Now it checks more details including accounts and amounts before concluding that a transaction has already been imported.
• In TransPost Plus there were also similar issues with Receive Money which have also been fixed.
• When configuring a company file the User ID and Password field are for the User ID and Password for the company file itself but for online files they can be omitted as this is linked to the online login. This is frequently,understandably, misunderstood so if an email style user ID is entered for an online file a pop-up will appear explaining this.
• The file line numbers shown on the log after the file name should now be correct. Previously the numbering went off if there were lines with no data.
• When no data is inported an imported data file is not created in the daily Import Logs folder, which is as it should be, but a link to this non-existent file was still being placed on the log. Clicking on the link caused an "unexpected error' message which has been causing some confusion. This link is no longer created so the error message cannot occur. We hope that removing this distraction will enable users to better focus on the log messages which explain why the data was not imported.
• When an input file is locked by another application, usually Excel, TransPost cannot process so the Import to MYOB button is disabled. As it is not obvious that the cause is a locked file we have now added an explanatory pop-up that appears when a locked file is selected.
• Importing mappings would skip importing any mapping if one of the same name already existed. This made it necessary to delete mappings before importing updated versions. Now, if a mapping already exists there is now a prompt to choose between replacing the mapping or skipping the import.

Version 3.3.4 - Released August 2018

Upgrade to use TLS 1.2

The primary purpose of this release is to upgrade TransPOst to use TLS1.2 when communicating with AccountRight Live online as MYOB were ceasing to accept communication via TLS 1.0

Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6.2 is required for this release. Installing AccountRight Live installs MS .NET Framework 4.6.2. so most users would have it already.

To use any TransPost application to import data into an online AccountRight Live Company file from a computer that does not have AccountRight Live installed (Yes, you can do that!) you may need to install Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6.2 before upgrading.

Download and install Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6.2 from this link on the Microsoft .NET download site https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet-framework/net462

Also Fixed

For TransPost Plus and Premier the problem with importing timesheets for Employees who have Custom List data is fixed in this release.

Version 3.3.3.530 - Released 17 April 2017

New Features

These new import fields have been introduced wherever appropriate:

• CompanyName and LastName as independent fields. CoLastNAme will continue to be available where a single input could be either a company name or last name
• ShipCity, ShipState, ShipPostcode and ShipCountry will get assembled into the appropropriate address lines
• PayeeCity, PayeeState, PayeePostcode and PayeeCountry will get assembled into the appropropriate payee lines
• DiscountAmount will be converted into the discount percentage required by AccountRight
• IgnoreMinusSign set to Y in SpendMoney will suppress a minus sign in the Amount (useful for posting PayPal fees which PayPal outputs as negative)

Improvements

• Retry and timing changes to address timeout issues
• Refunds and Reversals - while negative numbers indicate an opposite or reverse transaction, TransPost now looks amongst all sales not just open sales to find the invoice for negative payments
• Changes to Tax code processing to improve retrieval of Tax Codes and calculations to extend Inc-tax, ex-tax and tax amounts for classic Myob where not supplied in the input

Version 3.3.2.479 - Released 6 September 2016

New Features

• IsPersonal field
• Heading and Subtotal lines may be imported on sale orders as well as invoices (AccountRight Live only))
• Set default payment method and notes based on Custoemr card when no input or default supplied by mapping

Version 3.3.2.473 - Released 5 March 2016

New Features

• Additional defaults retrieved from customer cards in AccountRight include DeliveryStatus (Invoice Delivery), Salesperson, Comment (sale comment) and ShipVia (shipping method))
• Heading and Subtotal lines can be imported on sale (AccountRight Live only))

Improvements

Every line in a transaction is validated before a transaction is rejected on an error. This means that all errors in long transactions are identified in the first run.

The log file now records the line number within a file ro whcih each message applies

The transaction number assigned to any transaction is now recorded in the import log with the imported data

Fixed

• TransPost will not attempt to process a file that is not readable. This is useful when running from a run schedule and files arrive slowly, e.g. downloaded via Drop box, as it effectively waits until it has landed.
• When processing payments using a numerical invoice number, it now looks up both the zero-padded 8 digit form and the unpadded format as the later may be imported into AccountRight Live.

Version 3.3.1.440 - Released 27 April 2016

New Features

• Amount paid can now be imported with a sale in AccountRight Live

• There is new error log which will only appear when a transaction fails to be imported

Improvements

• Additional defaults retrieved from AccountRight include Invoice Delivery and sales-person derived from the customer card.
• MYOB generated transaction numbers retrieved and reported in the import log file.
• Log Messages relating to specific line items contain the number of the line within the transaction
• Every detail line validated, and all errors logged, before rejecting a transaction.

  Most mappings will work the same but note that payments are not imported as part of a sale. Use the Customer Payment type to import payments as a separate step.

• Additional defaults retrieved from AccountRight to enable import of sales with minimal data. See here for details.

Fixed

• Now uses Base Selling Price correctly as default Price for Item Sales when used with AccountRight V 19 and older versions

  (In the previous version it was reversing Item 'Prices Are Tax Inclusive' when reading it in via the ODBC.)

Version 3.1.0.296 - Released 1 February 2015

New Features

• Works via API with AccountRight 2014.4 (including AR Live) (as well as the classic versions)

  Most mappings will work the same but note that payments are not imported as part of a sale. Use the Customer Payment type to import payments as a separate step.

• Export and import Mappings as XML files
• Line item prices will be retrieved from AccountRight if not supplied so to import Item Sales you only need Customer (name or cardID), Item Numbers and Quantities (and you can set missing Quantity to default to say 1)

Improvements

• Improved data file viewer, showing both raw data and grid view
• Error messages regarding errors in line item details identify the line number (handy when importing sales with many lines)

Fixed

• Item Sales now work with the MYOB ODBC NZ version. (Sorry bro, someone needed to tell us it was not working right. Now we know how different it is and have set up a NZ test file we can do better!)

Version 2.2.1.208 - Released 31 March 2014

Improvements

• Improved validation and error messages
• Invalid and missing values identified with clearer error messages

• Common warning messages from MYOB reporting that '... is blank ... default substituted' have been suppressed
• In their place invalid non-blank values are identified with an appropriate warning message and then treated as if blank<\li>
• When starting an import the path name of the Company file being updated is recorded in the log

Fixed

The following now work correctly:
