Connecting your Xero account will allow you to sync your financial data between both systems. Xero will sync the following financial modules:

  • Clients

  • Client Groups

  • Invoices

  • Quotations

  • Inventory Items

  • Payments

Some financial modules sync differently to others. Read about the known Xero caveats here
