Why do I receive the error: "Please create the following accounts in Xero" when integrating the general ledger to Xero?

This feature is available on all PaySpace editions.

The error "Please create the following accounts in Xero"  indicates that the GL account number recorded on the system does not exist on Xero.

To resolve the error, create the account number on the Xero Chart of Accounts screen or correct the numbers on the General Ledger Parameters screen to match with those recorded on Xero.
