Pull time recorded against your projects into Xero Payroll

Now live in the UK, our new integration between Xero Payroll and Xero Projects integration lets you pull time recorded in a project directly into Xero Payroll. This reduces the burden on your employees as they only need to enter their time in one place, and it also makes it really easy for business owners, their administrators or accountants to ensure they’re paying staff the right amount.

Your employees can record their time against a given project from their mobile, tablet or computer. Then, when it’s time to process payroll, your payroll administrator can copy time recorded to projects directly to the the timesheet in Xero Payroll.

Assign sales credit notes to projects

Ever invoiced a customer and then find that you need to return part of the sale? With the new credit notes integration for Xero Projects, when a credit note is issued you can apply the amount to a chosen project. This then automatically updates your project financials so that you will see the invoiced amounts net of any credit notes applied. Learn more on Xero Central. And, very soon we will be introducing this functionality to supplier credit notes so that your project costs always accurately reflect what you are spending.

Assigning costs to projects

Not quite a new feature but a great way to ensure you’re making the most of the platform. Any costs you incur can easily assigned to a project from the bill or during bank reconciliation. Save yourself the double entry of entering costs to a project and simply pick them up from your existing bills or payments. Learn more on Xero Central.
