Switching from Xero to QuickBooks Online? Switching from QuickBooks Online to Xero?

You certainly can change the Xero or QuickBooks account that your A2X account is connected to! The connection can be changed from within the Settings > Connections page of A2X.

Here are some points to consider before proceeding with this change:

Accounts and Taxes Mapping

If you use the A2X default mapping, then this will need to be reset, so that A2X can re-create the accounts for you in the new accounting system's chart of accounts.

If you don't use the A2X default mapping, then you will need to ensure the currently mapped accounts in your A2X mapping are set up in the new accounting system's chart of accounts.

Bank Account Mapping

If you are switching from QuickBooks Online to Xero, you will notice there is no longer a requirement to map bank accounts within the Settings > Connections page of A2X - this is because we post invoices/bills to Xero, not journals.

If you are switching from Xero to QuickBooks Online, then you will need to map the bank account/s you have set up in QuickBooks. This can be completed via the Settings > Connections page in your A2X account.

If you are changing from one QuickBooks Online account to another QuickBooks Online account, then you will need to re-map the bank accounts from within the Settings > Connections page.

Cost of Goods Sold and Inventory Account Mapping

You will need to re-map the Cost of Goods sold and Inventory asset accounts from within the Settings > Cost of Goods Sold page in A2X.

Marketplace Tracking or Classes

Marketplace tracking or classes need to match the old accounting system and need to be re-confirmed within A2X from within Settings > Invoices.

Refreshing of Settlement Data

Once all account settings are updated/changed, it is important to refresh all of the settlements in your A2X account - this will ensure that all current settings are applied before you send settlements and cost of goods sold entries over to the new accounting system.
