Important note: You cannot export to Xero Payroll in New Zealand or the United Kingdom due to Xero’s API limitations.
While having access to agent ledgers in Rex is great, it's even better if you have Xero. This will allow you to send commission pay runs directly to, and import deductions from Xero. You can get started by going to Admin > Financials > Agent Ledgers > Settings.
Please Note: You will need to configure your Xero account completely before setting this up. If you need help setting up your Xero account, the best people to speak to would be Xero. If you have issues with the Integration between Rex and Xero, contact the Rex Support Team by clicking Help > Contact Rex Support Team - or by emailing support@rexsoftware.com.au.
