FAQ's



Why does Classcard automatically include a rounding row on Xero invoices, and what is its significance for ensuring accurate payment processing and invoice reconciliation?
Ans: Due to a difference in the number of decimals that Classcard and Xero use to compute invoices, taxes, and discounts, Classcard automatically adds a rounding row in Xero to compensate for the difference. The rounding items are auto-mapped to the “rounding account” in Xero. It’s important that the final invoice amount matches in both systems; otherwise, it may result in payments not being transferred or the invoice not closing as fully paid.
