MyDocSafe document
management for Xero

MyDocSafe document management for Xero lets you automatically create client portals whenever you create a client in Xero. Creating a client in Xero means adding an invoice to a contact. When that is done, MyDocSafe will automatically create a portal in your chosen portal group and invite your client to it.

If you are using MyDocSafe Proposals and choose Xero as an invoicing method, we will automatically create one-off or repeating invoices in Xero in draft mode.

4. Invoices

You can automatically create invoices in Xero whenever you onboard, renew or bill a client through MyDocSafe Proposals.

To use this option you need to click on Proposals and install the module if you have not yet done so and then configure your services, services categories, assign them to appropriate Xero accounts and define VAT values. Here is how to do it:

Step 4.a.

From the top navigation menu click on Proposals -> Settings. If Proposals have not been installed, you will be asked to do so

Step 4.b.

In Proposal Settings, go to Services and then Categories. Add your Categories. If your Xero account has been connected you will be able to assign appropriate accounts and VAT values. If those options are not available – it means that your Xero account has not been properly connected.
