Customize sale invoices sync to sale ledgers
TradeGecko’s Xero integration allows you to split your sales invoices across multiple sales ledgers. You can customize default settings to send sales invoices to a ledger based on:
| Settings |
Result

Example

Invoices will be sent to Xero’s ledger for each Company. This is the default option.

|
|
Variant SKUs in the invoice

Each variant in the invoice will be mapped to its Default Sales Account assigned to.
|
A customer buy a red T-shirt & a blue T-shirt. Red T-shirt invoice will be sent to Xero’s ledger for Red T-Shirt. Same for blue T-shirt
|
|
Sales channel the invoice originated from
|
Customize sending invoices to different sale ledgers in Xero based on each of the sale channels.

Assign Sale invoices to ledgers based on each Sale Channels
If you’re selling on multiple stores, TradeGecko offers the option to assign the sale invoices to different sale ledgers in Xero. For example, if you have a B2B store and a B2C store (e.g. Shopify), you can choose 1 ledger for B2B invoices and another ledger for B2C invoices.
Send Sale Invoices in daily batches
If you have high volume of orders per day and constantly hitting Xero limit, TradeGecko has an option to send invoices in a daily batch for each sale channel. If you turn on this option, instead of sending invoices instantly when an order is paid, we will collect the invoices throughout the day and send them as a batch to Xero. You can choose the time when the invoices batch is sent to Xero.
When batch invoices is on for a channel, payments sync will be turned off between TradeGecko & Xero by default. You will need to mark the payment as paid manually in Xero & TradeGecko. If you want the payment to be marked as paid automatically, you can turn on the Batch Payment option on your Xero Sale Channel Settings. We will clear the payments at once for all invoices in the batch. The payment clearance will happen after daily batch invoices are sent to Xero.
Note
Invoices created on TradeGecko before the integration cannot be synced over to XERO. Please contact us if you need historical invoices to sync over to XERO.
