Use the payment type mapping panel to select which Xero bank account payments entered in Synergy will be transferred to. The mapping for Xero Bank Accounts is done on Payment Type to allow you to send different types of invoice payments to different banking area in Xero.
Payment Type mapping is used by the Payment Export from Synergy to Xero. If payments are imported from Xero, this table is hidden as the mapping is not required when importing payments into Synergy from Xero.
Match the Synergy Payment Type to a Xero Bank Account by:
- Open the 'Mapping' screen of the Xero Connect Wizard.
- Check what Synergy payment types are shown in the 'payment type' column.
- Select a Xero Bank Account for the first Synergy Payment Type.
- Repeat step 3 for each Synergy payment type in the list.
Click the image above to view the Payment Type Mapping panel.
The Synergy Payment Types shown in this panel are ones assigned to existing Synergy payments. If a payment type has been setup in Synergy Default Data, but not yet assigned to an actual invoice payment, then it is not shown in the list. This filter has been applied to Synergy payment types to ensure any new payment types that are interface from Xero on the 'Payment Import' are also shown to be mapped to a Xero Bank Account. If using the Xero Payment Import, a blank payment type record can be created in Synergy. This will happen if the 'Reference' field on the Xero payment is left blank. Make sure you assign a Xero Bank account to all the Synergy Payment Types shown in the list, as they are all used on Synergy Payments.
The Xero account column shows all accounts within Xero > Chart of Accounts, which are either a Bank Accounts type, or are another account which has been marked as 'enable payments'.
Tips:
- Using a payment type for the first time? Make sure to link it to a Xero Bank Account, as this will be the first time the payment type has been shown in the Xero Connect Wizard.
- Learn more about how payments are transferred to Xero in the Payment interface settings.
