Before connecting freshOps to Xero, we need to ensure you have some settings in place in Xero from a Timesheet perspective.
​

If you are NEW to Xero, please make sure you click on the Payroll Menu to provision/activate Payroll for Xero for the first time.

[Optional]

While it's not mandatory, freshOps Site Tracking means we can separate all the Sites that your team services and map them to Xero Tracking Options. To learn more, visit Setup Tracking Categories in Xero. If you have them already, we will need to use one of the Tracking Categories for all the Sites you service. If you have these in place, the freshOps Payroll Wizard will help you map these in the Setup Site Tracking.

If you don't have Tracking Categories set up, freshOps can also help you create the Tracking Categories and Options right within the freshOps Payroll Wizard.

[Optional]

If and once you've completed the above, navigate to Xero Settings>Payroll Preferences>Timesheet Categories and select the Xero Tracking Category that you've created that represents all your Sites.
