What details do we send to Xero for Line Item invoices?

Great question! When you export a Line Item invoice from Lightyear to Xero we export the
  1. Product Codes
  2. Description
  3. Quantity
  4. Unit Price 
  5. Accounts/Tax Rates/Categories



Results based on line item formatted document and with the optimal Software Settings activated in Lightyear as below

  3. Unit Price will actually be line amounts
  4. Accounts/Tax Rates/Categories
