GST Types Maintenance

The tax codes in Xero use a name only, rather than a name and description. Therefore all the Workbench export files use the GST Type Description, rather than GST Type Code. If Xero can't match the tax description when importing a file, the tax code is left blank and must be completed before being able to approve the transaction.
Below is a list of the standard tax codes used in Xero.

Description	Tax Rate
BAS Excluded	0.00%
GST on Expenses	10.00%
GST on Income	10.00%
GST on Capital	10.00%
GST Free Capital	0.00%
GST Free Expenses	0.00%
GST Free Exports	0.00%
GST Free Income	0.00%
GST on Imports	0.00%
Input Taxed	0.00%

Tracking Options

Xero allows the use 2 user definable tracking categories. The use of these is optional. Each tracking category is given a name and a list of valid options. The options for each category must be mapped from Workbench using a field out of the Jobs table or Description from the JobTypes table.
Where tracking options are being used the following control parameters must be completed, to determine the mapping.

Parameter Name	Valid Value
XERO TrackingName1	Must be exactly the same as the Tracking Name of Category 1 in XERO
XERO TrackingName2	Must be exactly the same as the Tracking Name of Category 2 in XERO
XERO TrackingOption1	Must be a valid field name on the Jobs or JobTypes Table. Must Prefix Jobs fields with j. and JobTypes fields with t.
XERO TrackingOption2	Must be a valid field name on the Jobs or JobTypes Table. Must Prefix Jobs fields with j. and JobTypes fields with t.

Where the tracking name or tracking option provided can't be matched the field is left blank and must be selected manually in Xero.
