Seamless Xero integration

Homepage

Our integration with Xero works to further improve our clients’ payroll processes. Both systems work together to cut processing times and improve business efficiencies:

Connect CloudPayroll to Xero today to see a noticeable difference in time spent on your accounts.
CloudPayroll can send General Ledger Postings directly into Xero as authorised accounts payable invoices. Once the payments have been debited from the bank account, these invoices can be reconciled to the payments using Xero's Bank Reconciliation.
CloudPayroll can track your payroll costs to your chart of account codes, and you can also assign tracking categories to these codes.

Your General Ledger Postings will be automatically imported into Xero whenever you confirm a Payroll. These authorised Accounts Payable invoices will be created in Xero, and can be found under ‘Awaiting Payment’ ready for reconciliation:

Bank payment (net pay)
Gross payment (can be split by leave, ordinary time, allowances)
Superannuation Payable
Superannuation Expense
PAYG
CloudPayroll fees and GST on fees

To get the most out of the interface, you should set up cost centres in CloudPayroll that correspond to your Xero chart of account codes.

You can also set up any Xero Tracking codes, additional to the chart of account codes, that you use in CloudPayroll. Tracking codes are like cost centres and allow your chart of accounts to remain clean with no repeating groups required. After you connect Xero to CloudPayroll, when you go to add your chart of account codes to CloudPayroll, you will see the system draws down the tracking categories to be selected within the cost centre you create.

It's a simple once only, two-step process to set up the integration between CloudPayroll and Xero:

Log into your CloudPayroll account, go to ‘Setup > Interfaces’ and select the ‘Enable’ button next to Xero.
This will direct you to log in to Xero to select the relevant Xero account to connect with. The integration will then be set up and you will then be re-directed back to CloudPayroll.
