Upload Bill To Xero (PART 1):
Transaction Details
This information should be pulled from the uploaded bill automatically but you need to double check this as it isn’t 100% accurate, especially the VAT “Tax” amount:
Supplier
Date
Total Amount
Tax Rate
Tax
Make sure that the ‘Tax’ Amount matches to the bill image
Its really important that the tax rate amount (£250 in the example above) matches to the bill image.
If it doesn’t, change the tax rate to “Extracted Amount” and enter the tax amount on the bill image.
Upload Bill To Xero (PART 2):
Destinations
Click the downward arrow to the right hand side of the Xero logo to reveal the following options:
Publish As: Purchase
Status: Awaiting Payment
Contact: Enter Xero Contact
Account Code: Enter Xero Account Code
Click “Publish“ and this will post the bill into Xero. Once you’ve posted the bill into Xero you’ll be able to match the bill to the bank, credit card or director account.
Troubleshooting
If you have entered the bills through HubDoc but they’re not showing on Xero you may have added the bill status as ‘drafts’ instead of ‘awaiting payment’.
To rectify this, go into Xero, click Business/Bills to pay/Draft - select all the draft bills and click ‘Approve"‘.
