Xero provides the Tracking Categories feature to enable easier reporting by eliminating the need to add multiple account codes.

This help page outlines how to setup the tracking categories in Xero and configure them to work with your Unleashed account. For more information about how tracking categories are implemented in Xero, see Xero documentation.

Points to Note

• Tracking Categories are case sensitive. The tracking category you add in Xero must match the options available in Unleashed.
• If the Tracking Category you have selected in Unleashed has not been created in Xero, the Sales Invoice / Purchase Order exported to Xero will not fail, but the Tracking Category field will be blank in Xero.
• You cannot create / edit / delete any Xero tracking categories or category options from within Unleashed.
• You can only have 2 active tracking categories set up in Xero.
