Products/Items can be synced both ways between DEAR and Xero. However, DEAR does NOT support Xero Inventory accounts and product tracking. For items to be exported from Xero to DEAR, they must NOT be tracked by Xero Inventory. 


Users will need the Integration: Accounting - Xero permission in order to use this feature.

  1. Go to your Xero account to check the items. In Xero, navigate to Business → Products and Services.
  2. Choose the relevant product and click on Edit Item.

NOTE: If the items are being tracked in Xero, you will need to untrack them. Check this Xero article, Convert a tracked inventory item to untracked, for help with this step. You may not be able to untrack items that have previously been tracked and used in transactions. These items may have to be deleted and re-created.
