Xero, connected.
Connected. Invoices, bills, contacts, aged debt
Yes. Market Run connects to Xero and is live today. It reads invoices, bills, contacts, the chart of accounts and the aged debt ledger, and it writes the invoices it raises back to Xero. Xero stays the book of record and the bookkeeper carries on in the software they already use.
What moves, and which way
| Direction | What |
|---|---|
| Comes in | Invoices and credit notes, so what is owed is known without retyping it |
| Comes in | Bills from suppliers, so the buy can be checked against what was charged |
| Comes in | The contact book, which fills in blanks on a customer record rather than overwriting it |
| Comes in | The chart of accounts and the trial balance |
| Comes in | Aged receivables and aged payables, as dated snapshots rather than a moving total |
| Goes out | The invoices raised from what the driver actually delivered |
What is true today
- Reading is live and has run against a real wholesaler's ten years of accounts.
- Every pull is stored as a dated snapshot, never as an overwrite, so a figure can always be traced to the day it was true.
- Writing invoices back is behind a switch, because a wholesaler decides when his accounts start receiving from somewhere new.
No screen here yet. We show the real screen once the connection is built for you, never a picture of something else.
Plainly
What comes next
- Payment reconciliation the other way, matching a Xero payment back to a chase, is next rather than done.
Xero, asked plainly
- Does Market Run replace Xero?
- No. Market Run sits beside Xero rather than replacing it. Xero remains the book of record and the accountant's own system. Market Run reads invoices, bills, contacts, the chart of accounts and aged debt from it, and writes back the invoices it raises from delivered quantities.
- Will connecting Xero change my accounts?
- Reading changes nothing in Xero. Writing invoices back is behind a switch that the wholesaler turns on when they are ready, so nothing is posted to the accounts until somebody decides it should be.
- How long does connecting Xero take?
- The Xero connection already exists and is authorised through Xero's own consent screen, so it is a matter of signing in rather than of building anything. The longer part is agreeing which accounts invoices should land against, which is a conversation rather than a development job.
