Xero File-based Interface in Idealpos

Idealpos can interface to Xero Accounting Software, providing a direct transfer of reconciled sales, payments and supplier invoices to Xero. General Ledger accounts in Xero are linked to Sale & Purchase Categories in Idealpos, along with other POS Functions. Sales and banking figures from each POS terminal are consolidated in the ‘End Sale Period’ function by performing an ‘End of Shift’ at each POS terminal.  Once the banking figures are reconciled, the consolidated sales and banking totals are then sent directly to Xero.  Supplier Invoices are also sent to Xero.

 

Before you Begin

Warning!

We strongly recommend that you seek professional advice from your Accountant or Bookkeeper before using this module. 

Linking the wrong General Ledger Accounts in Idealpos can result in data being transferred incorrectly.

 

Our Xero Accounting Interface has been designed so that you do not have to re-create your selling or inventory items in Xero.  Instead, Idealpos transfers sales and purchase data to Xero in Categories. This interface does not support the transfer of individual stock items to Xero; therefore ‘Cost of Sales’ journals for sale transactions are not sent to Xero.
