Each entered staff cash or travel expense can be exported to Xero, to allow for the staff member to be reimbursed for the expense. View a list of all the staff expenses entered for the period, and select which of these should be sent to Xero.
Click on any of the green text in the list to open additional pop-ups to see more details about the data that is about to be sent for the staff expense to Xero.
Staff sent with the bill are matched based on the staff / contact name and unique ID combination (card ID in Xero). If a match for these details is not found then the sync will look for a contact with the same name. If a contact with the same name exists, then it is updated with the staff details from Synergy such as unique id number. If the name and unique id are not found then a new contact record 'supplier' type is created in Xero for the Synergy staff member so that the expense can be reimbursed.
