What does the Stellarise View for Invoices tell me about the sync process between Microsoft Dynamics 365 and Xero?

The Stellarise Connector View adds three new sections to the Invoice View: Stellarise Connector, Xero Details and Sync History. These three sections are described below.

Stellarise Connector

This holds the values that control how Stellarise Connector creates the invoice in Xero.

Field
Description
Stellarise Connector

The Stellarise Connector used to synchronise the invoice to Xero. If you have a single connection, this will be set automatically.

It's possible to install multiple Stellarise Connectors so you can manage the situation where there is a single Dynamics instance with multiple trading companies, each with their own Xero.

Invoice Type Sales Invoice, Purchase Invoice, Credit Note.
Line Amount Types

Exclusive or Inclusive. This refers to the Invoice Amount and whether or not it is inclusive or exclusive of Tax.

Branding Theme The Xero Branding Theme to apply once the invoiced has been synchronised.
Bundled product header only

If Yes, Stellarise Connector sends only the Product Bundle with the price and will ignore all related invoice lines in Microsoft Dynamics 365. If No, Stellarise connector sends all invoice lines from Microsoft Dynamics 365 to Xero. The Product Bundle will be created with quantity and price. The child lines will be synchronised as description only to Xero.

Send email from Xero If the email sending is enabled under Stellarise Connector Settings, the user can control the email sending for each invoice by using this option. When new invoice created the value from Stellarise Connector Settings will be copied to the invoice automatically.
