Instead of MYOB Exo
Moving off MYOB Exo? Own your stock and order system.
Enterprise DNA builds your version around how your warehouse, sales desk and accounts already work, brings your Exo stock items, debtors and creditors across, and runs it for you. One rebuild, onto something you own outright.
MYOB does not publish a price for Exo. It is quoted privately and sold through MYOB partners, on a server you keep running yourself.

What Exo really costs you
With Exo, the price is only the start
Exo has no public price list. What owners carry instead is a set of costs around it: the server, the partner, the modules and, now, the question of what comes after it.
A server you look after
Exo is on-premise. The machine it runs on, its Windows and database upkeep, the backups and the remote access for staff off site are yours to pay for and yours to worry about.
A partner in the middle
Exo is licensed, set up and supported through MYOB's partner network. Licences, installation and implementation are arranged through a partner rather than by you.
A system made of modules
Finance, stock, CRM, job costing and service are separate parts of the system.
Payroll already on its way out
Exo Payroll licences stopped renewing in November 2025, and after October 2026 it runs no more pay runs. That piece has to move somewhere, whatever you decide about the rest.
A rebuild either way
MYOB Acumatica, the move partners offer, is a different system, and a partner who sells it describes the move from Exo as a full reimplementation of three to six months or more. If you are rebuilding anyway, the question is what you end up owning.
Your history in an old format
Years of stock movements, orders and debtor history sit in Exo's own database. Getting them out means grid copies and report exports, one screen at a time.
What you get instead
Stock and orders you can simply ask about
The warehouse
Every unit on the shelf has a reason
Stock on hand is built from movements: each receipt, dispatch, adjustment and count is recorded with why it happened. The number on the screen and the number on the shelf can be argued about, and settled.
- check On hand, committed, free and on order for every item at every warehouse, from one record of movements
- check An adjustment cannot be saved without a reason, and a stocktake count corrects the book to the shelf
- check One request builds the reorder run from reorder points, open orders and supplier lead times, grouped by supplier
- check Slow stock named in dollars: items held 90 days with no sales and nothing committed
Sales to cash
Short lines said out loud, invoices for what left
When an order cannot be filled, the shortfall is recorded with the purchase order that will cover it, or the fact that nothing will. Invoices are drafted only for goods that actually went out the door.
- check Each line priced from the customer's own price, their tier or the list, with the source of the price kept on the line
- check Shortfalls split into ones with a supplier date to quote and ones nobody has ordered yet
- check One request drafts the invoices for everything shipped, GST shown separately, due dates from each customer's terms
- check A customer price that has slipped under cost shows up as a loss with the customer's name beside it
The rules
Checks that read your records for you
The rules a New Zealand distributor works under are written as checks against your records, each with its source.
- check Hazardous lines carry the quantity your site is certified for, and the check compares the shelf to it
- check Credit accounts checked for signed terms of trade and a PPSR registration behind retention of title
- check Invoices checked against the taxable supply information rules, and prices against each customer's agreed list
- check Unpriced lines and stock adjustments without a reason flagged before they become a mystery
Owned
No server, no renewal, your name on the paperwork
Your records sit in a database your business owns, and the documents carry your brand, not the software's.
- check Your Exo stock items, debtors and creditors brought across, with opening stock recorded as a counted stocktake
- check Tax invoices, picking slips, purchase orders and customer price lists printed with your logo and GST number
- check Read-only dashboards of the warehouse and the money, in your colours
- check A new field, rule or report added by describing it, with no partner job to book

Switching
How to switch from MYOB Exo
In practice, the move involves exporting your Exo records, matching Exo's column names to the new system, and checking totals against Exo before you rely on the import.
- 1
Export your Exo records
Start with suppliers, customers, products and stock on hand. MYOB Exo help also describes exporting from search grids: choose the columns you need, copy them to a spreadsheet, and export reports to Excel where useful. Your Exo administrator may need to allow copying from grids. Check with MYOB Exo if you cannot access the records you need.
- 2
Load a test copy
Start with the import's test run on a copy of your records, not your live data. Load the suppliers, customers, products and stock on hand, then match Exo's column names to the fields the new system expects. The export layout will not match automatically. If you have Enterprise DNA install and run your version, they do this mapping on a copy first.
- 3
Check the import results
Review what the test run reports as unmapped or not included, and decide how to handle those records before relying on the import. Compare the imported totals with Exo. The documented import approach does not bring across open orders, customer price deals or sales history automatically. Plan how you will re-enter open orders and price deals, and choose what history you need.
- 4
Run both side by side
Keep Exo available while you use the new system for a short period. Compare the stock and order information you rely on, and check that the imported totals still agree with Exo. Use this time to identify missing fields or rules that need adjusting. Do not make the new records your sole reference until you are satisfied with the checks.
- 5
Switch off Exo
When the checks are complete and your team is ready, stop entering day-to-day stock and order activity in Exo. Wholesale for Claude Code covers stock, orders, purchasing, pricing and invoicing, not payroll or the general ledger. Keep using a payroll product and an accounting system for those jobs. If Enterprise DNA runs your version, it connects to the accounting system you choose.
Where the real effort goes
Most of the work is not copying the records. It is matching Exo's fields to your own setup, agreeing how your rules should work, and deciding which history to bring across or handle separately. Price deals and open orders need particular attention. If you have Enterprise DNA install and run your version, they handle the mapping on a copy and check totals against Exo before anyone relies on the import.

Questions
Instead of MYOB Exo, answered
MYOB has not switched Exo off. Why move now? expand_more
You do not have to. Exo Business has no announced end date. Owners usually start looking because payroll has to move, the server needs replacing, or a partner has put a multi-month migration in front of them. If you are going to rebuild anyway, it is worth seeing an option where the result belongs to you.
How do we get our data out of Exo? expand_more
MYOB's own help pages describe it. On most search screens, right-click the column header, choose the columns you want, then Copy to clipboard and paste into a spreadsheet. Reports can also be exported to Excel. Your Exo administrator may need to turn on the setting that allows copying from grids.
Will those spreadsheets load in as they are? expand_more
Not quite. The free version reads a different system's export layout, and Exo names its columns its own way. Matching them is part of what Enterprise DNA does when we build your version, always on a copy first, with the totals checked against Exo before anyone relies on it.
Does this replace Exo's general ledger and payroll? expand_more
No. This covers stock, orders, purchasing, pricing and invoicing. Your accounting system keeps the ledger, and payroll belongs in a payroll product. When we build your version, we connect it to the accounting system you choose so invoices land there.
Who maintains it once it is running? expand_more
If you run the free version, you do, with Claude Code doing the heavy lifting. If Enterprise DNA builds yours, we run it under the monthly retainer: changes, new reports and checks are asked for in plain language and done by us, not quoted as a separate job.
Rebuild once, onto something you own
Thirty minutes with Sam. We look at what Exo costs you today once the server, the partner and the modules are counted, what your team really uses it for, and what your own version would look like. If it fits, we build it. If not, the free version is yours to keep.
Wholesale for Claude Code is free and open source, published by Enterprise DNA.
