What payroll items do I need to map to Xero?** Depending on your company's practice, you can either map your payroll items by Net Salary or Basic Salary:  - Net salary is a common and simpler method.

If I want to record net salary in Xero in separate accounts i.e. Directors' salaries & staff salaries, how do I map?** You can set tracking categories in Xero, and select mapping by departments in Swingvy. Connect each tracking category to each department set up in Swingvy. Set directors to be under the "Management" department or a separate department you have set out in Swingvy. Once these are set in place, net salary and other payroll data will be created in bills according to departments.   **9. I would like to map claims to Xero, but we use the “direct payment” option in claims instead of “through payroll”.

Only those claims items that integrate and connect to payroll will be able to map to Xero.   **10.
