Instead of MYOB Greentree
Paying for MYOB Greentree modules you never open? Own the job side outright.
Enterprise DNA builds your version around how your shop quotes, books time and bills, brings your Greentree customers, suppliers and stock items across, and runs it for you. Your accounts stay in the accounting system you choose.
MYOB does not publish MYOB Greentree pricing. It is quoted privately, through MYOB and its partners, depending on the licence model, users and modules you take.

What the quote covers
A Greentree quote prices an ERP, not a job board
Greentree comes as a menu of more than 80 modules across finance, payroll, distribution, CRM and manufacturing. A jobbing shop leans on a handful of them, and the price is shaped by the full licence arrangement around those few.
No number until you talk to sales
MYOB lists no price for Greentree. The first step is a call with an expert, and the figure arrives as a quote for your business.
Maintenance on top of the licence
One way it is sold is a licence paid up front, with ongoing maintenance charged as a share of that licence cost on an ongoing basis.
Every user counted
Other options charge per named or per concurrent user each month, so the estimator, the store and the workshop manager each show up on the bill.
Modules chosen from a long menu
Job costing, manufacturing, inventory and the reporting layer are separate pieces to scope, and what you leave out today is a fresh conversation later.
A server and a desktop client
Greentree runs on your own premises or dedicated cloud infrastructure, mostly through a desktop application, and someone keeps that running and upgraded.
A partner for every change
Setup, new reports and changes to how jobs flow usually go through an implementation partner who knows the product.
What the workshop gets
The jobbing part of Greentree, owned by you
Jobs
The whole floor in one answer
Ask what is open and you get every job with the date the customer was promised, the cost booked so far and what is holding it up.
- check Late jobs counted against the original promise, never a quietly moved date
- check Material short for each job, next to the order that covers it
- check Jobs with no hours or material booked for a week flagged as gone quiet
- check Job travellers printed for the bench, so nobody needs a desktop client on the floor
Costing
Margin while the job is still running
Timesheets, issued stock and outwork land on the job as they happen. Margin and WIP are something you ask for on a Tuesday, not a month-end report.
- check Cost against a fixed price, flagged at 80% so there is still time to act
- check WIP across every open job that no invoice covers yet
- check What each customer's work really earned after materials, labour and outwork
- check Progress claims and retentions tracked to the day they fall due
Stock and buying
Purchasing tied to the jobs that need it
Stock levels, purchase orders and suppliers sit beside the jobs, so a late delivery shows up as the job it is about to hold up.
- check Items through their reorder level listed with what is already on order
- check Overdue purchase orders named against the jobs waiting on them
- check Heat numbers recorded against steel issued to structural work
- check Which supplier's lead times keep putting promise dates at risk
Ownership
Change it by asking, not by raising a ticket
Plain records in a database you own. A new field, a renamed status or a different costing rule is something you describe, not a partner engagement.
- check Customers, suppliers and stock items brought across from Greentree's Excel exports, test run first
- check Quotes, invoices and job cost reports with your logo and colours
- check Free and open source: no module list, no per-user charge, no maintenance percentage
- check Use the same records from the office, the workshop laptop or home

Switching
How to switch from MYOB Greentree
In practice, the move is a staged export, field mapping, test import and parallel check, with the history you choose to bring setting much of the work.
- 1
Decide what moves
Job Shop takes over the job side of your operation, including quotes, jobs, hours, stock, purchasing and job costing. Decide which records and how much history you need for that work. Keep your general ledger and payroll in an accounting system. If you run several companies or currencies, plan carefully because Job Shop is not a replacement for Greentree's multi-company accounting.
- 2
Export your records
Use Greentree's Data Export form for customer, supplier, inventory and sales analysis information. It writes to a file that opens in Excel. You can also export Explorer search results to Excel. Export the job records your account makes available, and check with MYOB Greentree if you are unsure what can be included or which format to provide.
- 3
Map and test the data
Greentree's export columns are its own, so match them to the fields Job Shop uses before loading records. The import accepts CSV, so confirm that your export is in a supported format with MYOB Greentree. Start with a test run, not a live changeover, and use the results to correct the field mapping before bringing records across.
- 4
Check results and run both
Review what the test import flags, including records that do not map, and compare the imported counts with your Greentree records. Check that the job information your team needs is present and correct. Then keep both systems running side by side for a short period, using that time to check the new records and confirm the team can work from them.
- 5
Switch off Greentree
Once the records and day-to-day job work have been checked, choose a cutover point and stop using Greentree for the job side. Make sure your accounting system remains in place for the ledger and payroll. Keep the Greentree data available according to your own record-keeping needs, and direct the team to use Job Shop for the work you have moved.
Where the real effort goes
The real work is usually mapping Greentree's columns to your fields and rules, then deciding how much history to bring across. Some records may not map cleanly, so the test run and count checks matter. If you have Enterprise DNA install and run Job Shop for you, Enterprise DNA does the mapping and import work with you.

Questions
Instead of MYOB Greentree, answered
Greentree also runs our ledger and payroll. What happens to those? expand_more
This takes over the job side: quotes, jobs, timesheets, stock, purchasing and job costing. The general ledger, payroll and tax belong in an accounting system. Plenty of shops our size use Xero or MYOB's small business products for that, and Enterprise DNA can link it so invoices drafted here flow into it.
We run several companies or currencies in Greentree. Is this a fit? expand_more
Probably not for the whole group. Greentree handles multi-company and multi-currency accounting, and this does not try to. It suits a single workshop, or one division of a group, that mainly needs its jobs, hours and costing done well and would rather own that part.
How do we get our records out of Greentree? expand_more
Greentree can export customer, supplier and inventory details to files that open in Excel, and Explorer search results export to Excel with the Export button. Those files use Greentree's own column names, so Enterprise DNA maps them, brings them across with a test run first, and checks the counts match before anything goes live.
Our team is used to Greentree screens. What do they use instead? expand_more
They ask in plain English, from the office or a laptop at the bench, and printed job travellers go out to the floor. If a screen genuinely helps, such as a simple timesheet page on a phone, Enterprise DNA builds it into your version.
Is the free version really free? expand_more
Yes. It is open source under the MIT licence. No user count, no maintenance percentage, no account with us. You pay Enterprise DNA only if you want it built around your shop and run for you.
