To configure your MyTrucking account to correctly work with Reckon there are a number of settings to make. To ensure the options are available to select, the data is exported from Reckon and imported into MyTrucking.

To export the required files go to Files - Utilities - Export - Lists to IIF Files

The following window opens where you can select each list (each file needs to be downloaded separately):

The four following files each need to be downloaded from Reckon:

When the list is selected and OK is clicked the file will be downloaded. Please take note of the file name and location so that it can be found later.

Note for Reckon Hosted: The hosted version of Reckon runs on a remote server, so an additional step is required to download the file from the remote server to the local computer.
Click on the download icon to select the file and save it to your local directory.

The downloaded IIF files can now be imported into MyTrucking. 

Go to Account - General Settings and scroll down to the import buttons:

The files downloaded from Reckon can be imported by clicking on the corresponding button, clicking Choose File and browsing to the file location where it was saved.

The Items List file is imported from the Product page.
Go to Account - Products and click on the Import IIF Items file button.

The import process will attempt to match the Items in Reckon to the products defined in MyTrucking.
If you would like any Items from Reckon that are not matched to be created as products, tick the box on the pop-up window. This will create New Products in MyTrucking.

The Class list is used when you track your vehicles using the Class feature in Reckon.
To enable this feature in MyTrucking go to  Account - General Settings and tick the Track Vehicles tickbox.

You will now be able to match your Vehicles in MyTrucking with the Classes set up in Reckon.

On the Accounts - General Settings page scroll down to set the fields as required.

Select the preferences you require for your invoices.

Remember to click SAVE once completed.

If you link your Items from Reckon to the Products in MyTrucking, you will have ticked the Link Items on Product page checkbox in the steps above.

Go to Account - Products and you will see a column titled "Reckon item". For each product in MyTrucking you can select the Item that the product is related to.
The available Items have been imported from Reckon in the Item List IIF file.

If you have created your products based on your Reckon Items they will already be matched. 

When you edit a client in MyTrucking you have the option of setting an individual payment term for each client.
You can also select which is the preferred invoice delivery method (Email, Print or None). The default is set to Email.
