Setting up General Ledger to Xero sync
Before You Begin:
Yet to setup General Ledger, follow Deel's tutorial on General Ledger setup or General Ledger Fast Setup. Should any errors be encountered in the process, see how to resolve it in the How to Handle General Ledger errors article.
Setting up General Ledger to Xero sync
✅ Step 1 – Initiate sync
Start by navigating to an approved Payroll cycle where the General Ledger has been generated and click on the “Sync GL” button.
✅ Step 2 – Sync with Xero
Select Xero from the list of integrations in the popup modal.
If Xero isn't connected to the entity, clicking 'Connect' will cause a redirect to Deel's App Store to establish the connection and then to the GL page for mapping.
However, if Xero is already connected, clicking on the 'Set up and sync' button will lead directly to the GL page. Map General Ledger values to Xero accounts and General Ledger values to Xero segments.
Click on the 'Sync to Xero' button to complete this step.
Note: All mappings will be saved for the next time you sync a payroll journal entry to Xero.
✅ Step 3 – Complete Sync
A pop-up will appear indicating that the sync is in progress. Once completed without any errors, a "Sync Successful" pop-up will confirm the successful completion of the process.
On Xero, you will see that the account with the correct amount has been setup on GL.
