Hand invoices to your accounting software
Openhood connects to Xero or MYOB so the invoices and payments you create here flow through to your accounting software. The connection is a bridge: Openhood hands the sale across, and your accounting software remains the system of record.
A bridge, not your books
Openhood is not a general ledger and does not replace Xero or MYOB. It has no journals, bank reconciliation, or BAS. It pushes invoices and payments to your accounting software and reconciles what comes back. Keep doing your accounting, reporting, and BAS in Xero or MYOB.
Connect Xero or MYOB
Your accounting mode is one of None, Xero, or MYOB. You connect a provider through its standard sign-in, then choose the company file or organisation the data should land in.
- Open Accounting settings and choose Xero or MYOB.
- Sign in to the provider and authorise Openhood.
- Select the company file or organisation that should receive your invoices and payments.
What flows across
When you finalise an invoice, Openhood queues it for the connected provider. Payments you record queue the same way. The work happens in the background, off the path of finalising or sending, so a provider being slow never holds up your workshop.
Invoice lines are pushed as tax-inclusive customer amounts. Your accounting software applies the tax component using its own configured tax code. Customers are matched to existing contacts before a new one is created, so the bridge does not guess between duplicates.
Reconciliation and limits
Openhood also reads back from the provider on a schedule. If a payment was settled in your accounting software, the bridge records it here and marks the invoice paid. It only applies safe changes. A mismatch or a voided remote invoice is paused for you to decide, never silently overwritten.
If a sync needs attention, such as a reconnection or a conflict, the job pauses and surfaces the reason rather than retrying blindly.
History brought in during setup is read-only. Imported past invoices are kept separately and never touch your live invoice numbering or payment records. A large back-catalogue is routed to support-assisted migration rather than pretending a multi-day import is nearly done.
