When you start using Brite, you may have already raised invoices in Xero or Quickbooks, or in a different/old accounting system.

Therefore, if you have set up an accounting integration with Brite, while you are onboarding your current bookings, you will want to record some invoices and payments in Brite but not create a corrresponding invoice or payment in Xero or Quickbooks.

Non Accounting Entry (NAE)

We have created a setting to allow you to do this which we call Non Accounting Entry (NAE). This feature allows you to raise invoices and payments in Brite, that will not post to Xero or Quickbooks.

To enable this setting, go to

>> Settings

>>> Integrations

>>>> Xero or Quickbooks

You will see the Non Accounting Entrry setting on this page. Turn to Yes to allow you to use it in bookings.

Using the NAE setting in bookings

When you have NAE enabled, you will see an additional switch when you are recording payments/invoices - called NAE. So if you do not want the invoice/payment to be recorded in Xero/Quickbooks, you should set NAE to Yes (ie it is a non accounting integration entry).

WARNING - TURN OFF NAE WHEN NOT IN USE

We recommend that you only use the NAE setting during initial setup when you are onboarding current bookings. It is best practice to turn the NAE setting to OFF in settings once you are up and running to avoid any errors. Once you have all your current bookings in the system, you will want everything to be posted to Xero/Quickbooks.
