Electronic Supplier Invoices
Megabus has agreements with a variety of popular suppliers to have invoices electronically sent directly to the Marlin Supplier Inbox, negating the need to manually enter invoice details.
To enquire about the list of suppliers available for this service and enable electronic invoices, please contact the Megabus Support Team.
Once enabled, the Supplier Orders module will have an Inbox tab where supplier invoices will arrive and can be committed.
If a supplier requests your megalin address to set up electronic invoicing, it can be quickly accessed by selecting Help > About Marlin from the menu bar.
Marlin HR Payroll Journals
If Marlin HR is also being used for payroll, the journal entry created after each HR payrun can be sent directly to the Marlin journal inbox using megalink.
Once configured, Marlin Tyre and Mechanical Workshop Software's Journal Entry module will have an Inbox tab where these journals will arrive as drafts and can be committed to the general ledger.
Emails
Megalink email functionality will usually be configured by Megabus when Marlin is first set up, using the business's provided email details.
If the email address, password or the email relay server has changed, please contact the Megabus Support Team to update them within the Marlin system.
Some email providers (e.g. Gmail and Office365) now require two-factor authentication (2FA) and app passwords in order for third parties, including Marlin, to send emails using their email addresses.

If requested, Megalink SMS functionality will usually be configured by Megabus when Marlin is first set up.
To enable Megalink SMS functionality, please contact the Megabus Support Team.
There is a separate Inform guide on how to use the customer messaging function.
