Important Points To Note / Purchase Order Sync Rules

Purchase Orders are sent to Xero automatically when connected to Xero and when created on the purchase order page on Klipboard.

  • Purchase Orders sent to Xero are sent using the status they are created. For example, if you create a Draft Purchase Order on Klipboard a Draft version of that Purchase Order will appear on Xero. As the status and any details of that Purchase Order are updated on Klipboard it will automatically update on Xero.

  • Once sent to Xero, any changes made to the Purchase Order in Klipboard will sync to Xero and update accordingly.

  • Purchase Orders that are created in Xero are not sent to Klipboard, therefore always create your Purchase Order on Klipboard.

  • All Draft Purchase Orders from Klipboard sync to Xero as Approved.

  • All Sent Purchase Orders from Klipboard sync to Xero as Approved.

  • All Overdue Purchase Orders on Klipboard sync to Xero as Approved.

  • All Part Delivered Purchase Orders on Klipboard sync to Xero as Approved.


  • All Delivered Purchase Orders on Klipboard sync to Xero as Approved.

  • Klipboard does not sync file attachments to/from Xero.
