Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Eloope Xero sync work?

After connecting your Xero organisation, Eloope automatically pushes approved expense reports into Xero as bills. Each sync includes line items mapped to your Xero chart of accounts, and supplier contacts are created or matched automatically.

What data gets synced from Eloope to Xero?

Eloope syncs expense amounts, dates, descriptions, category-to-account-code mappings, tax rates, and vendor/supplier details. Bills appear in Xero with fully itemised line items, so your finance team can reconcile and pay without re-entering data.

Can I map Xero tracking categories in Eloope?

Yes. During setup you can map Eloope departments and cost centres to Xero tracking categories. This ensures every synced bill carries the correct tracking information for departmental reporting and budgeting inside Xero.

Does the Eloope Xero integration work with Xero Payroll?

The integration focuses on syncing expenses as bills and purchase records. While it does not write directly to Xero Payroll, reimbursement amounts exported from Eloope can be used alongside your payroll runs to ensure employees are paid back accurately.
