How to Link AutoCount Cloud Accounting with MyInvois Portal

Introduction

This guide explains how to link AutoCount Cloud Accounting with the LHDN MyInvois Portal for Malaysia e-Invoice submission. You will set up AutoCount as an intermediary and ERP in MyInvois, configure e-Invoice settings in Cloud Accounting, maintain the required tax information, and complete the TIN ownership validation before submitting your first e-Invoice.

Before You Start

Before linking AutoCount Cloud Accounting with MyInvois, make sure the following are ready:

MyTax Account

Make sure you have already registered your MyTax account and can log in successfully.

Company Linked to MyTax

Your company must already be linked to your MyTax profile so you can access the company as an authorised representative.

MyInvois Company Profile

Make sure you can access your company’s profile in the MyInvois Portal. The setup must be performed under the company taxpayer profile, not your personal profile.

AutoCount Cloud Accounting Access

Make sure you can log in to your AutoCount Cloud Accounting account book before starting the e-Invoice setup.

Open Settings and go to the e-Invoice / e-Invoicing settings. Enable the e-Invoice function before maintaining the tax information.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if AutoCount shows “TIN ownership is not validated”?

Open the TIN ownership validation link provided by AutoCount Cloud Accounting. Enter the Client ID and Client Secret 1 generated when you registered the ERP in MyInvois, then click Submit.

No. Based on the setup shown in this guide, you only need the Client ID and Client Secret 1 to complete the TIN ownership validation.

If a product uses the default Classification Code configured in your e-Invoice settings, you can use the default code. If the product belongs to a different classification, update the correct Classification Code in the product’s e-Invoicing settings.

After submitting the invoice, check its e-Invoice Status. You may need to click Refresh while MyInvois processes the submission. Once the status changes to Valid, the e-Invoice has been successfully validated.

Preprod is the testing environment used in the tutorial to demonstrate the MyInvois setup process. For actual e-Invoice submissions, use the live MyInvois environment.
