Rippling Payroll to Xero: Automated Journal Entry Guide

Rippling doesn't have a native journal entry integration with Xero. While Rippling offers powerful payroll capabilities, converting payroll data into a proper Xero manual journal requires manual effort — exporting the report, mapping each line to a Xero account, and creating the entry by hand each pay period.

How PostBooks connects Rippling to Xero

  1. Export the Rippling payroll report. In Rippling, go to Reports > Payroll and download the payroll summary for the pay period as a CSV.
  2. Upload to PostBooks and map to Xero accounts. PostBooks parses the Rippling format and maps each line to your Xero chart of accounts. Set the mapping once and PostBooks reuses it every pay run.
  3. Export or sync to Xero. PostBooks generates a Xero-compatible manual journal, or syncs directly via the Xero API.
