If you're using jobs & cost centres in MYOB AccountRight Live, you’ll be able to bring in the job and cost centre data into Fathom for divisional analysis and reporting. This will help you to further filter your results to gain more detailed insights from your jobs and categories.

Import Jobs & Cost Centres from MYOB

To import the job & cost centre data for a company:

📝 Note: You have the option to not include inactive jobs/categories to help stay under the 20 job and cost centre maximum.

After selecting the jobs and cost centres for import, click on Confirm selection’, then Import to start the import process.

What is ‘Unclassified’ data?

'Unclassified data' in Fathom represents the difference between the data for the entire company, and data that has been assigned to your jobs & cost centres. You may have unclassified data in Fathom if there is data in your financials that has not been attributed to a job or cost centre or if you have not imported all of a company’s jobs & cost centres.

Learn more about unclassified data and how the amount is calculated in our ‘Unclassified Data’ article.
