Please note the following for Xero Timesheets :

  • Only times submitted via the Time Select Type will calculate in Xero Timesheets
  • Hours Worked will not sync to Xero
  • Only field Types with Dropdown Select & linked Data Sources will link to Xero Earnings Rates & Tracking Categories
  • If there are multiple Dropdown Select Options in the Form, Xero will select the first option in each Form or Subform
