Approximate time to complete - 4 minutes

Before exporting from Xero payroll please note the following:

Your user role determines what you can export. If you can’t access the feature in Xero, you can't export it.
The export includes all transactions by default (up to a maximum of 500). You can export by status, or add a search to filter transactions into groups if you have more than 500 to export.
Each transaction line item is listed as a separate line in the exported CSV file. This keeps the file consistent with the format needed to import invoices and bills back into Xero.
You need to have entered a SUN number into the 'Bank Reference' field in the 'Organisation tab' of your payroll settings in Xero. If you don't have a SUN number to hand, then you can enter 000000 instead.

You can access the Payroll settings in Xero by clicking the dropdown menu in the top left of your screen and then clicking 'Settings'. Once you have done that, you can find the 'Payroll settings' on the right-hand side of your screen.
You will need to set up each employee to be 'Paid by electronic transfer' on Xero payroll. Please follow these steps:
- Click on 'Payroll' at the top of your screen.
- Click on 'Employees' and then click on an employee
- Click on 'Payment method' on the left-hand side
- Where is says 'How will X be paid?', click 'Electronic transfer' and enter their bank details
