Import XML files into Xero, any schema
Xero accepts OFX and QIF for bank feeds in some markets. It doesn't accept generic XML for invoices, bills, or statements. If your platform only exports XML, your options are: convert to CSV manually, or find a tool that reads XML.
EntryRocket reads XML directly, whatever the schema, and imports the data into Xero.

Where Xero's XML support stops
Xero's XML story is narrow:
OFX is supported for bank statement imports in some markets
QIF is supported for older bank statement formats
Generic invoice or bill XML is not supported
E-invoicing XML (Peppol, UBL, country-specific formats) is supported only through specific network integrations, not as a file import
If your XML falls outside that narrow band, Xero's answer is to convert it to CSV first. Which means parsing the XML, flattening nested structures, and reformatting into Xero's CSV template. Every time.
What EntryRocket does with XML
Your reader parses the XML your system produces: root nodes, nested elements, attributes, namespaces, and all. It flattens the relevant data and maps it to Xero records.
Because the reader is built around your specific schema, it doesn't need a generic XML-to-CSV configuration layer. You send the file, your reader does the translation.
Three steps, then it's automatic
Send us a sample XML file
Send us a sample XML file and, if available, the schema or a description of the fields.
We build your reader
We build your reader in 2-3 business days, matched to your XML's structure.
You email files in
From then on, you email files in. Xero has the records within a minute.
Depending on your workflow, your reader can create:
- ✓ Invoices and bills from e-invoicing or ERP XML feeds
- ✓ Bank statement lines from XML bank exports
- ✓ Contacts from supplier or customer directory XML
- ✓ Manual journals from system integration XML
- E-invoicing formats (Peppol, UBL, FatturaPA, and regional variants) imported outside of a certified network
- ERP exports in proprietary XML from systems that don't have a Xero connector
- Bank exports in XML where your bank offers XML but not OFX or CSV
- Legacy system feeds that produce XML by default
- Government-filed data returned in XML and needed in Xero for reconciliation
Frequently asked questions
About importing XML files into Xero with EntryRocket.
View all FAQs →What XML formats do you support?
Any. Your reader is built around your specific schema, whether that's a public standard (UBL, Peppol) or a proprietary ERP export.
Do I need to provide a schema (XSD)?
It helps, but it isn't required. A sample file plus a description of which fields matter is usually enough.
What about e-invoicing networks like Peppol?
If your files arrive as XML through whatever channel, your reader can process them. If you need to participate in a certified Peppol network itself, that's a different product category.
Can it handle namespaces and nested elements?
Yes. Your reader handles namespaces, nested structures, repeated elements, and attributes.
