Xero
From Release Version 2.15, Hevo has stopped supporting Xero as a Source. As a result, you will not be able to create Pipelines for this Source. However, the existing Pipelines will continue to ingest data.
Xero is an online accounting software that provides business owners with an understanding of their cash flow by highlighting details such as bank balances, outstanding invoices, upcoming bills, and expense claims.
You can use Hevo Pipelines to replicate the data from your Xero account to the Destination system. For this, you must authorize Hevo to access the account’s data.
One Pipeline can be associated with only one Xero account. However, each account can include multiple organizations.
Note: Xero imposes limits on the number of transactions of different types that a company may process in a given amount of time. Hence, it is not a suitable choice for businesses with a high volume of transactions.
Prerequisites
-
An active Xero account from which data is to be ingested exists.
-
You must be logged in as an Adviser or a Standard user to access all the data in your Xero account.
-
You are assigned the Team Administrator, Team Collaborator, or Pipeline Administrator role in Hevo to create the Pipeline.
Configuring Xero as a Source
Perform the following steps to configure Xero as a Source in Hevo:
-
Click PIPELINES in the Navigation Bar.
-
Click + CREATE PIPELINE in the Pipelines List View.
-
In the Select Source Type page, select Xero.
-
In the Configure your Xero account page, do one of the following:
-
Select a previously configured account and click CONTINUE.
-
Click + ADD XERO ACCOUNT and perform the following steps to configure an account:
-
Log in to your Xero account.
-
In the drop-down, select the organization whose data you want to access.
Note: Xero allows you to select only one organization at a time. You can add more organizations in the subsequent steps.
-
Click Allow access to authorize Hevo to access the selected organization’s data.
-
-
-
In the Configure your Xero Source page, specify the following:
-
Pipeline Name: A unique name for the Pipeline, not exceeding 255 characters.
-
Select Organizations: One or more organizations whose data you want to ingest.
Note: You must individually authorize Hevo on each organization you select.
To add more organizations, click + Add another Organization and repeat Steps 6 and 7.
The organization(s) you added are now available for selection in the Select Organizations drop-down.
-
Historical Sync Duration: The duration for which you want to ingest the existing data from the Source. Default duration: 1 Year.
Note: If you select All Available Data, Hevo ingests all the data available in your Xero account since January 01, 2010.
-
-
Click TEST & CONTINUE.
-
Select the check box next to the objects you want to replicate to your Destination.
-
Proceed to configuring the data ingestion and setting up the Destination.
Data Replication
Default Pipeline Frequency | Minimum Pipeline Frequency | Maximum Pipeline Frequency | Custom Frequency Range (Hrs) |
---|---|---|---|
15 Mins | 15 Mins | 24 Hrs | 1-24 |
Note: The custom frequency must be set in hours, as an integer value. For example, 1, 2, 3 but not 1.5 or 1.75.
-
Historical Data: The first run of the Pipeline ingests historical data for the selected objects on the basis of the historical sync duration specified at the time of creating the Pipeline and loads it to the Destination. Default duration: 1 Year.
-
Incremental Data: Once the historical load is complete, data is ingested as per the ingestion frequency in Full Load or Incremental mode, as applicable.
Archived and Deleted Objects
Hevo tracks the archived and deleted records using the Xero status
property. For the archived or deleted records, Hevo sets the is_deleted
column to True in the ingested data and the Destination.
Note: Hevo does not set values for ARCHIVED
or DELETED
records in the hevo-generated tables for line item objects such as Credit Note Line Item, Invoice Line Item, and Purchase Order Line Item. This is done because fetching data from Xero and populating it for the parent objects and the corresponding line item objects leads to increased costs. Hence, Hevo sets values for ARCHIVED
and DELETED
records only for the parent objects such as Credit Note, Invoice, and Purchase Order.
Hevo identifies the ARCHIVED
and DELETED
records from the Xero status
property and replicates that information for the following objects:
Object Name | Event Type Tracked |
---|---|
Account | ARCHIVED |
Credit Note | DELETED |
Invoice | DELETED |
Payments | DELETED |
Purchase Order | DELETED |
Schema and Primary Keys
Hevo uses the following schema to upload the records in the Destination:
Data Model
The following tables (objects) are created in the Destination when you run the Pipeline:
Note: Hevo generates line item objects for some of the Xero objects that contain a list of items having their own attributes for easier querying and replication.
