Before connecting freshOps to Xero, we need to ensure you have some setting in place in Xero from a Timesheet perspective.
Firstly: Provision/Activate Xero Payroll
If you are NEW to Xero, please make sure you Click on the Payroll Menu to provision/activate Payroll for Xero.
2: Tracking Categories and Options
[Optional]
While it's not mandatory, freshOps Site Tracking means we can seperate all the Sites that your team service and map them to Xero Tracking Options. To learn more visit Setup Tracking Categories in Xero. If you have them already, we will need to use one of the Tracking Categories for all your Sites you service. If you have these in place, the freshOps Payroll Wizard will help you map these in the Setup Site Tracking.
If you don't have Tracking Categories setup, freshOps can also help you create the Tracking Categories and Options right within the freshOps Payroll Wizard.
