FAQ
In this article, we'll review how you can edit or delete a transaction linked from Actionstep to Xero.
Overview
Once the link between Actionstep and Xero is established any invoice or payment created in Actionstep will be pushed to Xero. Actionstep and Xero maintain a link for this transaction. When these transactions are linked Actionstep will prevent users from making changes to these them. Therefore, in order to make changes to these transactions in Actionstep users will need to unlink them from Xero.
Unlinking Invoices and Payments
Go to Admin>Integrations>Manage (Xero)>Select the type of transaction that you would like to unlink.
Select the box that corresponds with the entry you would like to unlink and then select "Unlink from". This will unlink that item from Xero.
Unlinked transactions still exist in both Actionstep and Xero. This means that you will likely need to go into Xero to edit or delete the transaction there.
