Use our Xero integration to post invoices straight from Current RMS to Xero and keep your organizations up-to-date between the systems.

What is Xero?

How does the integration work?

There’s four key parts to our integration with Xero:

  • Create links between organizations in Current and contacts in Xero
    When you create an organization in Current, a new linked contact is automatically created in Xero. And when you update an organization in Current, the contact in Xero is kept up-to-date!

  • Import and export organizations
    Use our import and export tools to import Xero contacts to Current or export Current RMS organizations to Xero.

  • Post invoices and credits straight to Xero
    Once integrated, there’s a new post invoice option on the invoice screen to post an invoice directly to Xero

  • Log payments in Current posted to Xero
    Use the take payment action in Current RMS to log payments received against posted invoices in Xero.

Do I need the integration with Xero?

You don’t need to use Xero to use Current RMS.

Current comes with some accounting functionality built-in: create invoices and credits – including part invoices – and log payments against them. For some businesses, this might be all you need. 

If you’re looking for advanced functionality such as bank reconciliation, customer account statements, expense tracking, or payroll, then you should consider an accounts package like Xero. 

Xero or QuickBooks Online?

We also provide an integration with QuickBooks Online, another cloud-based accounts solution. Interested in the differences between the integrations? Check out: Differences between the Xero and QuickBooks Online integrations
