Previously by default, Talenox's integration to Xero split the bills pushed over according to Pay Items.

However, with this new update, we are now able to split the bills pushed over to Xero according to several options available:

  • Pay Items

  • Employees

  • Cost Centres

This new feature allow users of the Talenox <> Xero Integration flexibility in deciding how they'd like for their bills to be showing in Xero.


Setting Up and Selecting Split Bills Category

Head to More > Integrations > Xero > Split bills by and select how you'd like to your bills to be split and showing in Xero:


Splitting Bills by Pay Items

Bills split according to Pay Items will show up in Xero according to the Exporting Groupings you have enabled in Xero Integration page in Talenox:

When you head into each bill (e.g. Gross Salary), the line items will be split according to the selected "Group line items by" option in the Xero Integration page:

In this example above, the option of "Employee" was selected for the grouping of line items in each bill:


Splitting Bills by Employee

Bills split according to Employee will show up in Xero according to the names of the employees with payroll processed in Talenox for the payroll month you are pushing over:

When you head into each bill (e.g. Anakeen Cloudwalker), the line items will be grouped by Pay Items (Exporting Group enabled in the integration page in Talenox):


Splitting Bills by Cost Centres

Bills split according to Cost Centres will show up in Xero according to the Cost Centres set up and assigned to employees with payroll processed in Talenox:

When you head into each bill (e.g. Establishment B_MYR), the line items will be grouped by Pay Items (Exporting Group enabled in the integration page in Talenox):


Setting up Contacts for each Category of Bills Split Selected

For you to have more control over the naming of Contacts in the 'Bills' section of Xero the export to Xero, you can choose to set-up the following Contacts for each category:

  • Bill Split By Pay Item - Contacts can be set up (refer to this guide here to learn how to do so).

  • Bill Split By Employee - does not require Contacts to be set up.

  • Bill Split By Cost Centre - does not require Contacts to be set up.


Hope this guide helps with your Xero Integration Set-up in Talenox!
