Reconciling Sales Invoices in Xero

When reconciling Supply’d sales invoices in Xero, the process depends on the type of payment:

  1. Invoice Payments & Cash on Delivery (COD): These payments are made directly to you (e.g., bank transfer or cash). In Xero, you’ll manually match the payment to the corresponding invoice to mark it as paid.

  2. Credit Card (CC) & Online Payments via Supply’d: These payments are collected through Supply’d and automatically recorded in the clearing account in Xero. Supply’d sends you a weekly payout (already excluding their fees), which you'll reconcile against the clearing account.

    To fully balance the clearing account, you’ll also need to manually create a bill for the Supply’d fees and reconcile it in Xero.

By following this process, you ensure all Supply’d sales invoices are accurately tracked and reconciled in Xero.


Disconnecting from Xero

If you would like to disconnect from Xero you can do so by clicking on your company name in the top right, then select Settings. Select Integrations from the Settings menu, then Xero from the Integrations menu (as above).

Click on the 3 dots in the top right-hand corner. Select Remove Integration.
