Revenue Types

To do this click on the Configuration tab and then select Revenue Types

Select the edit folder next to Revenue Type and enter the accounting code created in Xero for this Revenue Type. Repeat steps for each Revenue Type.

Note: Once you have setup your Revenue Types you will need to check POS Items and price levels are all associated with the correct revenue types and Taxes

Tender Types

Tenders are the methods in which you except payment from your clients and could include cash, eftpos, bank transfers etc. Each payment associated to a Tender Type in SimplySwim must be associated with a Xero account for eg. Cash Tenders in SimplySwim would normally be linked to a Cash on Hand Xero account, Eftpos/Credit Card tenders in SimplySwim would normally be linked to a Eftpos Clearing Xero account and Bank transfer tenders in SimplySwim would normally be linked to your Xero trading bank account etc.

Once the appropriate accounts have been created in Xero you will need to match the accounting code to the Tender Types in SimplySwim.

To do this click on the configurations tab and then select Tenders. 

Next select the Edit folder next to the appropriate Tender Type and then add the Accounting code from Xero in the Accounting Asset Code text box. Then select Add Tender to save.

Repeat these steps for each Tender Type.
