Mapping or creating general ledger accounts and payment types to the Xero chart of accounts

Updated over 2 months ago

When setting up the Xero integration in Auxo Workshop, you’ll need to complete the Account Mapping process. This step links various figures, such as discounts, payments, and sales codes, to your account codes in Xero.

⚠️Important: We recommend you confirm the account mapping settings with your accountant to ensure you select the appropriate Xero account codes.

💡Tip - Take a screenshot of the Account Mapping screen and email it to your account to assist with confirming the appropriate Xero GL codes.
