Stock On Hand values
When you first integrate Unleashed and Xero, the SOH value within Unleashed does not export across to Xero. Therefore, the initial SOH value needs to be manually adjusted via a stock journal entry directly into your Xero account; this manual adjustment needs to occur against the default Stock On Hand account selected within your Unleashed | Xero Configuration Setup.
