-
- - Xero organization: Select which Xero organization your Expensify workspace is connected to. Each organization can only be connected to one workspace at a time.
- - Chart of Accounts: Your Xero chart of accounts and any accounts marked as “Show In Expense Claims” will be automatically imported into Expensify as Categories. This cannot be amended.
- - Tracking Categories: Choose whether to import your Xero categories for cost centers and regions as tags in Expensify.

-# Step 4: Configure advanced settings
-
-The following steps help you determine the advanced settings for your connection, like auto-sync.
-
-
- - Under the Accounting settings for your workspace, click Advanced under the Xero connection.
- - Select an option for each of the following settings:
-
- - Auto-sync: Choose whether to enable Xero to automatically communicate changes with Expensify to ensure that the data shared between the two systems is up-to-date. New report approvals/reimbursements will be synced during the next auto-sync period. Once you’ve added a business bank account for ACH reimbursement, any reimbursable expenses will be sent to Xero automatically when the report is reimbursed. For non-reimbursable reports, Expensify automatically queues the report to export to Xero after it has completed the approval workflow in Expensify.
- - Set Purchase Bill Status: Choose the status of your purchase bills:
-
- - Draft
- - Awaiting Approval
- - Awaiting Payment
-
- - Sync Reimbursed Reports: Choose whether to enable report syncing for reimbursed expenses. If enabled, all reports that are marked as Paid in Xero will also show in Expensify as Paid. If enabled, you must also select the Xero account that reimbursements are coming out of, and Expensify will automatically create the payment in Xero.
- - Xero Bill Payment Account: If you enable Sync Reimbursed Reports, you must select the Xero Bill Payment account your reimbursements will come from.
- - Xero Invoice Collections Account: If you are exporting invoices from Expensify, select the invoice collection account that you want invoices to appear under once they are marked as paid.
