When a vendor name is edited in either Airwallex or Xero, the change will 2-way sync into the other platform. This allows bills coded with vendors in Airwallex to always remain 2-way sync with Xero while mapping to the corresponding Xero Contact. You can view the sync status of your vendors in the ‘Sync’ column of the Vendor Management table.
Edits made to other vendor information besides the name do not sync. For example, edits to Contact information and Payment information, Accounting automation rules, and Attachments will only reflect in Airwallex. Similarly, if these fields are updated in Xero, they will not sync into Airwallex.
New vendors created in Airwallex are synced into Xero as a new Contact with the same name. No other information besides the name will be synced into Xero.
New vendors created in Xero are imported into Airwallex through either of the following two methods: (1) When a user selects ‘Import from Xero’ on the Vendor Management home, and (2) When a user selects ‘Import bills from Xero’ on the Bill Pay home and there are bills containing new vendors.
