Q. How do I run the cron job multiple times in a day?

php -q /home/username/public_html/whmcs/modules/addons/xero/cron.phpBy default, the cron will run all sync options you have enabled in the module. Alternatively, you can force a specific sync by appending one of these options:
- sync-xero-payments
- sync-contacts
- sync-invoices
- sync-payments
- sync-all (to force all sync methods to run regardless of whether they are enabled in the module or not)
php -q /home/username/public_html/whmcs/modules/addons/xero/cron.php sync-xero-payments
Q. Can I set a start date from which data moves over?
A. You can set starting invoice and transaction numbers.
Q. Can I control whether it passes all orders or just paid orders to XERO?
A. Yes, there is an option for this in v8+.
Q. How does the integration handle cancelled or refunded invoices in WHMCS?
A. There is an option for cancelled invoices to be voided in Xero, however, refunds must be handled manually.
Q. If an unpaid invoice is paid in Xero, can the module pull the payment from Xero into WHMCS?
A. That is correct, this is an option that can be enabled or disabled in the module. Payment confirmation emails can be triggered as usual.
Q. What sort of log files are there?
A. You can check the WHMCS Activity Log, all messages are prefixed with 'Xero: '. You can also enable the WHMCS Module Log feature to view the requests and responses made to Xero.

Q. Are Credits & Refunds Synchronised to Xero?
A. The module does not send refunds and credits to Xero, these need to be replicated manually in Xero - a notice will be shown in the UI so you don't lose track of these.
