Through XERO you can connect with other XERO users and automatically transfer data across
In XERO under General Settings->XERO Network you have a very long alphanumeric key which you send to a customer or a supplier who also uses XERO and is on the XERO network. Then you can send or receive invoices directly from or into your accounts receivable or accounts payable from that supplier or customer. This means you save time on data entry. If for example you owe me money, I raise an invoice and send it to you via the XERO to XERO network. You will receive an email notifying you of the invoice and it will sit in your accounts payable under the heading DRAFT, waiting for you to approve and eventually pay it. This is really good time saving feature.
Sometimes I have found users confused and they don’t look in draft for the invoice, so they manually enter it again, and there are now duplicates in the system. Or if I impatiently resent it several times, duplicate entries would appear under draft. So those issues are part of the learning process of the users understanding the auto-magic of online accounting software.
If you subscribe directly to XERO you do not receive your XERO invoices in this manner yet, but it is a suggested feature for the future.
