The problem

Credit notes pile up. Entering them manually into Xero shouldn't.

Supplier credit notes come in batches. Returns need to be processed. Customer refunds need to be recorded. Each one means opening a file, finding the original invoice reference, checking the amounts, and creating the credit note in Xero by hand. It's low-value work that adds up quickly.

EntryRocket handles credit note imports automatically. Email the file, and the credit notes appear in Xero — linked to the correct contact, correctly coded, ready to allocate.

Where this fits

Common scenarios for importing credit notes into Xero

Credit notes are a necessary part of business but shouldn't consume unnecessary time. These are the situations where EntryRocket handles them automatically.

Retailers processing high volumes of returns and refunds

An e-commerce business processing dozens of customer returns daily. Each return needs a credit note in Xero. EntryRocket imports them in bulk from your returns system or marketplace export — correctly linked to the original customer and with the right tax treatment applied.

Supplier credit notes arriving in batches

Your suppliers send periodic credit notes for rebates, overcharges, or returned goods. Rather than keying each one into Xero individually, email the batch file and EntryRocket creates them all — with the correct supplier contact and reference numbers mapped automatically.

Businesses reconciling credit notes across multiple sales channels

Selling through multiple marketplaces or channels, each producing their own credit note reports. EntryRocket consolidates them into Xero so your books are always accurate, regardless of where the refund originated.
