ADP Payroll to Xero: Automated Journal Entry Guide

ADP's Xero integration is limited. Most firms using ADP for payroll and Xero for accounting have to manually create a journal entry after each pay run. PostBooks automates this workflow.

How PostBooks connects ADP to Xero

  1. Download the ADP GL report. Export the General Ledger report from ADP as CSV.
  2. Upload to PostBooks. PostBooks maps ADP GL codes to your Xero chart of accounts.
  3. Export to Xero. PostBooks generates a Xero manual journal or syncs via the Xero API.

Frequently Asked Questions
