Planyard + Xero

The Xero integration for Planyard is mainly used to send project manager approved bills from subcontractors or vendors to accounting. The data that is sent to accounting includes the original cost documents (picture of a receipt from your phone, invoice PDF from the vendor, delivery note, etc) and the corresponding totals approved in Planyard.

If you have assigned accounting accounts to your budget items, then the line item totals will be grouped and added up on the accounting account level so that the accountant has one step less to do. If you want to assign the accounting accounts to the budget line-items already in Planyard, see how to do it here.

If you have a working connection to Xero, then every time a user in your organization logs in, the following data is fetched from Xero and also created in Planyard:

  • Chart of Accounts
  • Contacts

When you create a contact in Planyard, it will also be sent to Xero so that the two systems are up to date.

Planyard + Xero = no more surprises

Without real-time cost tracking, it’s easy to mistake being busy for being profitable. We needed a system that told us which projects were actually making money before it was too late. With Planyard’s seamless integration with Xero, every purchase order, subcontractor payment, and invoice flows directly into our accounting system—giving us instant financial clarity without manual data entry or reconciliation headaches.

Intuitive Planning - a perfect partner to Xero

We love how simple, intuitive and powerful Xero is but were having difficulty finding a project management add on that was equally intuitive and powerful, until we discovered Planyard. Planyard has transformed how we view our projects and ensures the finance team, project managers and the subcontractors have a clear view of the project finances. The support is exceptional and Planyard team are always available to give us a hand or listen to suggestions for new features. The Xero integration is extremely fast and reliable :)
