Common Xero sync errors in Re-Leased — causes and resolutions for archived account codes, archived contacts, invalid tax types, and credit note allocation issues.

Updated over a week ago

This reference covers the most common sync errors between Re-Leased and Xero, their causes, and how to resolve them.

Error Message

Cause and Resolution

Account code has been archived or deleted

Cause: An invoice was created in Re-Leased using an account code that has since been archived in Xero. When the invoice attempts to sync, Xero rejects it.

Resolution: Choose one of the following: update the invoice in Re-Leased to use a valid Xero account; void the invoice in Re-Leased; reactivate the account in Xero; or unlink the record from the Sync Results page if the invoice is no longer needed in Xero.

Account code has been archived or deleted / Account code is not a valid code for this document / The Tax Type Code cannot be used with account code

Cause: The account or tax type has been archived in Xero (or was archived during Re-Leased onboarding) and is no longer valid.

Resolution: The invoice will be reset to Draft. Then: update the invoice or credit note to use a valid account or tax; unarchive the account or tax in Xero; void the invoice or credit note in Re-Leased; or unlink it from the Sync Results page.

The contact with the specified contact details has been archived. The contact must be un-archived before creating new invoices or credit notes.

Cause: The contact was archived or merged in Xero. If merged, a current version exists.

Resolution: In Re-Leased, navigate to the tenancy and open Tenancy Details. Clear the name in the Xero Invoice contact field and retype it to match the current version of the contact in Xero.

This allocation is linked with transactions that cannot be found within Re-Leased

Cause: A credit note was created with an issue date before the sync date.

Note: For this fix to work, the invoice must be fully paid.

Resolution: (1) Find the invoice the allocation relates to in Re-Leased. (2) Make a payment on the invoice equal to the allocation amount. (3) Run a sync. (4) On the Sync Results page, unlink both the new failing outgoing payment and the failing incoming allocation.


If the issue persists after working through these steps, contact Re-Leased Support. See also: Unlink and Relink Records and Managing Your Sync Results.
