How to configure Xero sync settings

The Xero configuration page lets you manage your connection, map categories to your Xero chart of accounts, and adjust sync settings.


How to access Xero configuration

  1. Click Settings in the sidebar.
  2. Select Xero.
  3. Click the Configure button (available from the actions menu at the top right).

What you can configure

Connected organisation

  • Shows which Xero organisation is connected.
  • Click Disconnect from Xero to remove the connection.

Category mapping

  • Shows how many Budgetly categories are mapped to Xero accounts.
  • Click Edit categories to update the mapping. Each Budgetly category maps to an account in your Xero chart of accounts.

Important: Transactions without a category cannot be synced to Xero. Make sure all your active categories are mapped.

Sync settings

  • Configure how transactions are synced — review-then-sync or fully automated.

Reconnecting to Xero

If your Xero authorisation expires, the Xero page will show a Re-connect button. Click it to re-authorise Budgetly’s access to your Xero organisation.


Switching Xero organisations

To sync with a different Xero organisation, contact support. If no bank account has been set up yet, you can click Reset Xero integration to start fresh.
