Frequently Asked Questions
Does Nexus AP replace Xero for bill payments?
No, Nexus AP extends Xero by automating invoice capture, coding, and approvals. Approved invoices sync to Xero for payment through your existing process, so Xero remains your main accounting record.
Can I use Xero tracking categories with Nexus AP?
Yes! Nexus AP imports your Xero tracking categories and can automatically apply them to invoices based on vendor, amount, or custom rules. This eliminates manual categorization for every bill.
What Xero plans does Nexus AP work with?
Nexus AP works with all Xero plans including Starter, Standard, and Premium. Some advanced features like purchase order matching require Xero's business plans.
How does Xero AP automation work?
Xero AP automation with Nexus works in four steps: (1) Invoices are captured via email, upload, or API with AI extracting all data. (2) Nexus matches each invoice to Xero purchase orders and applies GL codes. (3) Invoices are routed through approval workflows based on your rules. (4) Approved invoices sync to Xero as bills, ready for payment. The entire process runs automatically — your AP team only handles exceptions.
Can Nexus AP handle multi-currency invoices in Xero?
Yes. Nexus AP supports multi-currency invoices and syncs the correct currency codes to Xero. Exchange rates are handled according to your Xero currency settings.
Is Nexus AP a Xero-certified app?
Nexus AP connects to Xero via the official Xero API using OAuth 2.0 authentication. The integration follows Xero's API guidelines for security and data handling.
