Step 3: Set up ‘Groups’ in Reap and match them with the spend category in Accounting Software
Please complete this step if you wish to sync all transactions as reconciled transactions in accounting software. Reap’s Groups feature organises your team members into ‘Groups’ (e.g. by department or location), which can correspond to your tracking categories.
If you have already set up ‘Groups’ in Reap, you may skip this step.

Step 4: Review and Sync Reap transactions to Accounting Software

Option 1: Sync as reconciled
(shown in the ‘Account Transactions’ section under the ‘Accounting’ tab in Xero)
Directly sync to the ‘Account Transaction’ section as a ‘reconciled’ transition with details like Xero.
Reap’s ‘Groups’ is equivalent to the spend category in Xero.
Mapping categories allows transactions to automatically select the correct chart of accounts and reconcile without redundant work, saving hours on your month-end close.
