## Key facts

- AMPS creates invoices in Xero directly from jobs marked ready for invoicing
- Xero items and services are linked to AMPS with the correct account codes, so nobody has to remember prices
- Client data is synchronised with only the bare minimum stored in AMPS
- Xero is the standard accounting integration; a MYOB integration is available to Enterprise customers on request

Also known as: Xero accounting, Xero integration.

## Why it matters for inspection companies

Most NDT companies in Australia and New Zealand already run their accounts in Xero or MYOB. Job management software that re-implements accounting adds a second ledger to reconcile; software that integrates hands the invoice to the accountant's system with the job's references already on it.

## The AMPS Xero integration

Link Xero items and services to AMPS to ensure correct account codes, create invoices from AMPS to Xero in a simplified flow, and keep client data in sync with the minimum stored in AMPS. The purchase order and job references entered once on the job carry through to the invoice.
