Existing Xero Account | Section 3: New Xero account required

Creating a new Xero account

Please submit a ticket to the Evolution team to advise that you require a new Xero account and we can guide your through the setup process to ensure it's correctly setup.


Migrating Xero payroll from existing to new Xero account

If a new Xero account is required, there may be a need to transition payroll from an existing Xero account to the new Xero account.


Suggested Options for when to move Payroll:

  1. Move Payroll around conversion or Go-Live Date: Transition payroll data to the new Xero account during the NetSuite migration go-live date.

  2. Move Payroll when convenient in the future: Transition payroll data to the new Xero account at a convenient time after the go-live date.

  3. Move Payroll at the end of the financial year: Transition payroll data to the new Xero account at the end of the financial year to simplify financial reporting.


Actions required in the new xero account to move payroll:

1. Setup Payroll Settings:

Configure payroll settings including earnings, leave, super funds, pay calendar, etc.

2. Setup Employees:

Enter employee information including opening earnings, tax, super, leave, etc. balances.


Payroll move process:

1. Coordinate and complete between 2 Pay Cycles:

  • The payroll move process must be coordinated and completed between two pay cycles to ensure a smooth transition.

2. Payment for Two Xero Files:

  • This means that you  will need to pay for two Xero files while both accounts are active during the transition period.
