Accounting today. A Xero connection next.

Your venue needs product, pack and purchase-cost detail. Your accountant needs a reliable bill record. StockLens already exports purchase-ledger costs as CSV; a live Xero connection is planned and is not available yet.

Available today: capture and export

Photograph or upload supplier invoices, review the extracted details and product matches, and export received purchase costs from the purchase ledger for your accountant. This export is a general CSV for review, not a Xero bill-import template or an automatic accounting sync.

Planned: pick up bills already in Xero

The proposed first connection would let an authorised manager select a Xero organisation and retrieve its supplier bills and available attachments. This would bring invoices already held by your accountant into a review queue, without requiring a second manual upload.

Planned: match before creating anything

Compare supplier identity, invoice reference, currency, dates and totals against StockLens invoices. Suggest a link when the evidence agrees; flag ambiguous matches, missing bills and amount differences for a person to resolve. Existing Xero bills should be linked rather than recreated. An accounting match would not approve stock quantities or confirm that a delivery was received.

Planned: keep exceptions visible

Show the source bill, last successful check and any connection or matching problem. Handle credit notes and changed or voided bills separately. The first release is intended for retrieval and reviewed linking; creating bills in Xero, payment reconciliation and two-way sync require separate implementation and testing.
