Xero integration
Xero integration for FF&E project invoicing
Connect ffespec to Xero and send project invoices as drafts for accounting review. Keep customer references, quantities and line prices with the invoice.
Prepare the project invoice, then review it in Xero
ffespec’s invoice integration sends a project invoice to the connected Xero organization as a draft. The transfer includes the customer contact, invoice number, project reference, dates, currency and invoice lines. Each line carries its description, quantity and unit price.
This gives your accounting workflow a review point before an invoice is finalized. Review the customer, account coding and tax treatment in Xero, particularly when your project contains different supply or service items.
How the invoice handoff works
- 01
Connect the workspace
Configure your workspace’s Xero connection in Settings → Integrations. Confirm the selected organization and sales account before using the invoice transfer.
- 02
Prepare an invoice
Add a customer name and at least one invoice line. Review descriptions, quantities, unit prices, invoice dates and the project reference.
- 03
Send and review the draft
Send the invoice to Xero, then review the resulting draft there. ffespec records the Xero invoice reference and the transfer time after a successful response.
What to check before relying on the integration
- The workspace needs an active Xero connection and a valid sales account.
- Invoices require a customer name and at least one line item.
- Line amounts are sent exclusive of tax. Xero applies the configured account’s tax treatment; review the resulting draft.
- Sending an invoice again uses its stored Xero invoice reference when available. Check the existing document before transferring further changes.
- Sending a draft does not by itself collect a payment or confirm that a customer has paid.
This page describes the invoice-to-Xero handoff. A draft transfer should not be treated as automatic reconciliation of all accounting activity.
Common questions
Are invoices immediately authorized in Xero?
No. The integration sends invoices with draft status so they can be reviewed in Xero.
What happens if Xero is disconnected?
The transfer reports that Xero is not connected. Reconnect the workspace in Settings → Integrations before trying the transfer again.
Can I use schedules and procurement without connecting Xero?
Yes. The Xero connection is used for the accounting integration. You can evaluate the schedule, RFQ and client-review workflows separately.
