Connecting Xero

Sync approved invoices to Xero safely, keeping Xero's own numbering and storing yours as the reference.

4 min read

Connecting Xero saves you re-entering invoices for the accountant. Mechanics Hub syncs invoices in a way that respects Xero's own numbering, so it does not clash with your ledger.

How the sync works

Connect Xero in your integration settings, then sync invoices across. Xero generates its own invoice number, and your Mechanics Hub invoice number is stored as the Xero reference, so the customer-facing number stays clear while your accountant's ledger stays tidy.

Sync errors are visible and can be retried, so nothing disappears silently.

  • Connect once in settings.
  • Xero controls its own invoice number sequence.
  • Your invoice number is saved as the Xero reference.
  • Sync issues are visible and retryable.

FAQ

Will this mess up my Xero invoice numbers?

No. Xero keeps its own numbering. Your Mechanics Hub number is attached as a reference rather than forced into Xero's sequence.
