If your business uses Xero for invoicing and the Xero integration is set up in Traffio, you can now assign Tracking Categories and Tracking Options to invoice line items in Traffio before pushing the invoice to Xero.

Xero supports up to two Tracking Categories per account. You must create these categories within Xero first.


Getting Started

  1. Navigate to Billing on the sidebar

  2. Select Invoice Cost Centres tab

  3. Select desired Invoice Cost Centre (must have Xero as accounting package)

  4. Enable the Add Xero Tracking Categories to Invoice line items toggle

  5. Press Save

  6. Press Sync with Xero to import the Tracking Categories


Setting Tracking Categories & Options

Traffio lets you assign a Tracking Category and Option to Depots and Projects. When an invoice is created, these categories will be added as columns to the invoice line items when the invoice is pushed to Xero.

For Depots

  1. Navigate to My Company on the sidebar

  2. Select Depots tab

  3. Select desired Depot

    Note: The depot must be linked to an Invoice Cost Centre connected to Xero

  4. Under 'Xero Tracking Categories' select a category from the left dropdown

  5. From the right dropdown, select an existing Tracking Option or click the + button to create a new one and push it to Xero

For Projects

  1. Navigate to Clients on the sidebar

  2. Select Projects tab

  3. Select desired Project
    ​Note: The project's client must belong to a depot which is linked to an Invoice Cost Centre connected to Xero

  4. Under 'Xero Tracking Categories' select a category from the left dropdown.

  5. From the right dropdown, either select an existing Tracking Option or click the + button to create a new one and push it to Xero.


Creating an Invoice

Note: When creating a new invoice for a booking, the depot's tracking categories and options will be applied based on the Invoice Cost Centre linked to the booking's depot.

If the booking's depot or project doesn't have a tracking category or option set, you will see the following warning message(s).
