What gets exported to Xero?
When a bill is exported from Float to Xero, the following fields are synced:
- Vendor name
- Invoice number
- Bill date and due date
- Line items (description, amount, tax)
- GL Code
- Tax Code (if applicable)
- Payment status and payment date
When are bills exported to Xero?
Float exports unpaid bills to Xero automatically once they are approved and moved to the Unpaid tab on the Bill Pay page.
- Bills in the Draft and Approvals tabs will not sync
- When a bill payment has been completed and the status updates to "Payment Sent", the bill status in Xero will be updated to paid
- If a bill is marked as paid, the bill status will not update in Xero. You would need to manually update this in Xero
How to verify that a bill was exported?
To confirm a bill was exported:
- Navigate to Bill Pay > All Bills or Payments > Complete
- Scroll to the desired bill > In the "Sync" column, the Xero logo will be blue after it has synced
- Hover your mouse over the Xero logo in the Sync column to see the sync confirmation message "Synced to Xero"
