If your business uses Xero for invoicing and you have the Xero integration set up in Traffio, you can now apply Tracking Categories & Tracking Options to Invoice line-items in Traffio before pushing the Invoice across to Xero.

Xero allows you to have a maximum of two Tracking Categories within your account. You must first create these Categories within Xero.

Getting Started

  1. Navigate to Billing on the left tab bar

  2. Select Invoice Cost Centres

  3. Click on your Xero Cost Centre

  4. Under 'Xero Specific Settings' 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 allows you to set a Tracking Category & Option for Depots and Projects. Then when an Invoice is created, these will be added as columns to the Invoice's line-items when the Invoice is pushed to Xero.

For Depots

  1. Navigate to My Company on the left tab bar

  2. Select Depots

  3. Click on a 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, either 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 left tab bar

  2. Select Projects

  3. Click on a Project

    1. 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 tracking categories & options applied will come from the Invoice Cost Centre which is linked to the booking's depot.

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