Information on troubleshooting and resolving known issues & error messages in the Xero integration.

Updated over a month ago

This article is to assist in troubleshooting any known issues with the Xero integration and help determine the appropriate steps to resolve them.


Plan Limitations

Certain Xero plans have limitations that can impact the integration between Xero and Auxo Workshop. For example the Xero Starter / Early / Ignite plans have a monthly limit of:

  • 20 Invoices (customer Accounts Receivable invoices)

  • 5 Bills (creditor Accounts Payable invoices)

πŸ“ Note: The invoice date (not the creation date) is used to determine which month an invoice was entered.

If you exceed these limits, you may see an error notification in Auxo Workshop shortly after generating a transaction that exceeds these limits stating:

"Unable to upload invoice {invoice number} to Xero. You have reached the limit of invoices you can approve."

To resolve this issue you may need to consider upgrading your Xero to a higher plan without these transaction limitations.

Other Xero Limits

According to resources in the Xero community forum at central.xero.com and within the developer documentation, Xero recommends staying within the following limits for optimal performance:

  • 1,000 sales invoices (based on 10 line items per invoice)

  • 1,000 purchase bills (based on 10 line items per bill)

  • 2,000 account transactions

  • 2,000 bank statement lines

  • 1,000 lines per statement


Inconsistent Paid / Unpaid Status Synchronisation

If you make changes to an invoice in Xero, these changes are not automatically updated in Auxo Workshop. If a change made in Xero alters the transaction total, this can cause issues with the synchronisation of the Paid/Unpaid status of invoices in Auxo Workshop, as the invoice amounts (and possibly corresponding payments) are no longer in sync.

We recommend you avoid making changes to invoices created by Auxo within Xero, in particular, avoid making changes that alter pricing and totals.
