Control Parameter Maintenance

Confirm that 'Use Legacy Disbursements Export' is No.

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.

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.

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