Purchasing Document types for Xero
Zudello captures both inventory and expense supplier invoices and creates the respective bills in Xero. Based on the document type selected, Zudello either matches the invoice line items to your inventory items in Xero and creates an Inventory bill or Zudello creates an expense bill with expense line items in Xero.
By default, Zudello has three document types configured for the Xero integration to handle your Purchasing transactions.
-
Expense Line-item - Expense invoices where stock is not being tracked. Typically represent expenses or services to your business. Zudello extracts expenses at the line level, sending the expense lines with coding to Xero.
-
Invoice - Inventory invoices where items supplied are matched to items in Xero. Zudello can also enable you to capture new items from the document and create them in Xero from the Invoice document type.
-
Credit - Supplier credits. So that credits process correctly, all values on the document should be positive, such as Quantity, Unit Price and Totals.
