Xero

Pull payment status

Payments recorded in Xero against sales invoices update what has been paid in CMap. Fully paid invoices are marked as paid automatically, so project teams see real cash status.

Why it matters

No double entry. No loss of control.

CMap runs your projects; Xero runs your books. Everything moves between them as a draft, so your accounts team stays in charge of what posts.

No double entry

Invoices, expenses and bills are entered once in CMap and transferred to Xero in batches, in a couple of clicks.

Accounts stay in control

Everything arrives in Xero as a draft. Your finance team reviews and approves before anything posts: CMap never posts to your ledger.

Project-true reporting

Xero tracking categories map to CMap project fields, keeping project-level analysis intact in your accounts.

Real cash visibility

Payment status flows back to CMap, so project managers see what has actually been paid without asking finance.
