What data is synced between Planyard and Xero

Estimated reading: 1 minute

Once the Xero integration is active, Planyard automatically syncs key financial and project data to ensure consistency across platforms. Here’s what’s included in the data exchange.

  1. Approved costs
    • All approved cost documents in Planyard are sent to Xero.
    • Each entry includes a reference back to Planyard, so you can easily trace and review the original document.
  2. Chart of accounts
    • Planyard imports your Xero chart of accounts.
    • When setting up a project, you can assign each budget item in Planyard to the appropriate Xero account.
    • This ensures that all costs are correctly categorised when sent to Xero.
  3. Tracking categories
    • Tracking categories from Xero are synced with Planyard.
    • You can assign these to your Planyard projects to help segment and track costs in Xero.
  4. Contacts
    • Contact data is synced in both directions.
    • Planyard pulls contact details from Xero and sends contact info back as needed during cost document submission.

Note: All data transfers happen automatically once the integration is enabled—no need for manual exports or uploads.
