The Xero integration allows ValuePRO users the ability to synchronise accounting functionality between ValuePRO and the Xero account system. This establishes a bi-directional capable link between the two software packages, allowing invoice and client information to be transferred from ValuePRO to Xero and payments registered to be transferred from Xero back into ValuePRO.
- Once a job has an invoice date set, this flags the system to create an Invoice in Xero.
- AccountingSyncDate is a database column that gets entered when the invoice has sync’d with Xero.
How It Works
The sync from ValuePRO to Xero will happen automatically as soon as the Invoice is generated on the job card. (Using the "Invoice" button or a date set to the invoice date field).
- NB: Sync is triggered when InvoiceDate is <= current date and InvoicePaidDate is blank.
Important: A job with an invoice date set will sync to Xero on that date, we recommend you make sure you have the correct ValuePRO defined Invoice date(DateInvoiced) field on all your Data Entry Templates. This will enable you to set the invoice date manually as well as check the date in the job.
Requirements of Xero Integration
This is for ValuePRO Master users with access to your company's Xero admin login.
You must have an existing ValuePRO instance and an active Xero account setup to log into Xero before proceeding.
Limitations of Xero Integration
Xero prefer their users to not share your Xero login details with third-party applications and we suggest you do the integration yourself so you do not have to share your credentials, also therefore ValuePRO does not have any fields to store your Xero credentials. The Xero integration will direct you to a special Xero page and prompt you to log in with your Xero credentials.
