eXconnect now offers status-based syncing for purchase invoices to Xero. By specifying an invoice status (e.g., 'Confirmed') thid will trigger the invoice to be sent to Xero as a bill. This feature allows backoffice teams to manage inventory updates upon receiving items (using an interim status like 'Received') without the invoice immediately appearing in Xero. The accounts team can then finalize any pricing or discount details before changing the status to initiate the final sync, providing better control over the bill creation process.
Setting up status-based purchase invoice sync is easy:
- In eXconnect, go to Setup > Documents Mapping.
- Scroll down and look for "Purchase Invoice Status for Xero Sync."
- Click the "Status" dropdown and choose the status (like 'confirmed')
> The invoice is now ready to become a bill in Xero. - Click Next to save your preference
