Introduction to Xero Ledger Integration

The automation engine in FYI provides the ability to import and AutoFile batches of reports from your client’s Xero Ledger. With a single click, all reports are automatically named and filed in FYI according to practice preference. If the amounts in the ledger change, simply re-run the batch to create a new version of the reports in FYI.

Reports that can be automated include:

• Profit and Loss
• Balance Sheet
• Bank Summary
• Trial Balance 

Configuring the Client Ledger Report automation

Configuring the Client Ledger Report automation is a one-off step, completed by an FYI Administrator. The administrator can determine:

• The reports to be included in the batch
• The naming convention for each report 
• Filing information such as Cabinet, Category and Year 

 Connect to each client

Once the automation has been configured, each client in FYI can then be linked to the appropriate Xero Client Ledger, using Xero Authentication. Refer to Linking an FYI client to a Xero Ledger.

• This is a one-time configuration creating a permanent link
• As a future enhancement this linkage will allow for categorisation of documents based on the client's chart of accounts 

Running Client Ledger reports

Generating a batch of Client Ledger Reports can be triggered with a single click in FYI. The reports will automatically be run, named and filed by Client. 

From the Client - Processes tab for the relevant client, click Run.

The reports that are produced, are accessed from the Clients - Documents tab in your Client Workspace.
