FieldPulse offers a two-way integration with Xero to automatically sync your customers, quotes, invoices, payment records, and invoice items between FieldPulse and Xero to make end of year accounting easier. Leverage FieldPulse's integrated invoicing system and leave the accounting work to Xero.
Once you've connected FieldPulse with your Xero account all your existing Xero data can automatically be imported into your FieldPulse account. Creating or editing customer, invoice and payment records in the office or on the job will automatically be reflected in Xero and FieldPulse, so no more double entry.
Important information before syncing:
All Xero Contacts Suppliers and Customers sync to FieldPulse as customers.
Customer records must have either a first name, last name, or company name entered in Xero. A phone number and a unique email address is preferred but not required.
Xero Contact Groups sync to FieldPulse as a parent customer and will be displayed as “Group: Primary Person.”
Ensure Tax Rate is set up in Xero even if you do not charge tax because FieldPulse pulls tax rate from Xero.
What is a Two-Way Sync?
Customers, line items, quotes, invoices and payments created, edited, or archived in FieldPulse will be automatically created, edited, or archived in Xero. Also any contacts, line items, quotes, invoices and payments created, edited, or archived in Xero will be automatically created, edited, or archived in FieldPulse.
