Xero Accounting

Notes
This article is for customers who use the Interface between iPayroll and Xero Accounting and want to automatically post your GL to Xero when you confirm a pay.
The GL accounts will also need to be set up in iPayroll.
Idea
Customers that do not want to use the Interface or can't due to their accounting settings in Xero can upload a file to post to Xero.
