First Full Data Sync
The first time you connect an MYOB AccountRight Live file to Bi4Cloud the Data sync pulls all historical data.
This is a FULL Sync. This Full sync may take a long time if your file is large.
Simple (Incremental) Data Sync
Thereafter Bi4Cloud does a Simple (Incremental) Sync, each night or when you manually click the green Refresh icon. The Simple Sync only extracts any new or changed transactions so where possible is looking for incremental changes.
This is much faster however can occasionally get unstuck. The cause can be imports of data or bulk edits of data or sometimes an add, update or delete is missed. In these cases you may then need to Force a FULL data sync.
When to Force a Full Data Sync
You should manually Force a Full Sync after you make major changes to your MYOB file e.g.:
- Upgrade MYOB file
- Export data and re-import (e.g. Customer or Item cards)
You should manually Force a Full Sync if your BI4cloud Reports have Data issues e.g. if you see:
- Duplicate Data
- Old Transactions Deleted from MYOB (Simple Sync cannot pickup deletions suggest you either credit out or $0 out transactions and not Delete them)
- Changes in MYOB records e.g. against Customer Cards etc. not picked up in BI4Cloud
How to Force a Full Data Sync

- Login to your Bi4Cloud account as an Admin User at my.bi4cloud.com
- Click the red setup button against the company you wish to sync in FULL.
- Tick the Force Full Sync checkbox
- Press Save (floppy disc Icon).
3. Click Refresh to start a new Full Refresh now or wait for the next overnight refresh to run as a Full Sync if you prefer it to run out of business hours.
4. Once the Full Sync is completed the Next sync will revert back to a Simple (Incremental), you do not need untick the box.
