Connection to Xero

Modified on Thu, 15 May at 1:04 PM

Xero is online accounting software that provides business owners with real-time visibility of their financial position and performance in a way that’s simple, smart, and secure.

To use this integration, you will need an account with Xero. Note that an accounting connection fee applies from Godo.

Capabilities

Godo can send invoice information from bookings to Xero.

Limitations

You can only connect one Xero account and organisation to one Godo Property account.
If you need to connect to multiple Xero accounts or organisations, you can use sub-accounts.
You can only send charges, not payments.

Set Up

Step 1: Connect Xero

Click the Connect to Xero button, log in, select the organisation you wish to connect to, and then click "Allow Access".

Step 2: Select the organisation

Click on "Get Codes" to access the organisation you have connected to in Xero.

Step 3: Enable the desired rooms

Set the rooms for which you want to use Xero to "Enabled".

How it works

The connection works by creating invoices in Xero from booking invoices.

Once enabled for a room, any booking in that room will have a "Send To Xero" button on the invoices tab.

  • The default for the reference number is a combination of the booking number and the Godo invoice number (if assigned). The field can not be blank, but you can change the reference if you want to.
  • The default for the "Due date" is one month from today. You can change the due date for a specific invoice when sending it.
  • The default for the "Status" is "Draft". You can change it if required.

Delete Invoices

Invoices can only be deleted within Xero

If an invoice is sent with the status "AUTHORISED" it cannot be deleted in Xero, only voided.

Common Errors

Xero will disconnect your connection after 60 days of inactivity.
You will need to go through the connection process again if this happens.

Disconnect

Disable the rooms for which you do not want to send invoice information to Xero, or click the disconnect button to permanently remove the connection.

 Your Xero account is connected to all of your properties in a Godo Property account. Clicking the disconnect button will disconnect all properties.
