Ready for your accounting system to go live?

Ensure you've double checked the following:

1. Connect your accounting system in its section of `Settings > Profile and terms`, then select `Test connection` and check it names the right organisation.
2. Choose the account every bill is coded to: `Xero Account Code` for Xero, or the account option of MYOB or QuickBooks Online.
3. Under `Milestone sync points`, tick when a milestone's bill is created: when the milestone is approved, when the contract is executed, or both.
4. For Xero or MYOB, enter a `Sync error email address`, so someone hears when a bill fails to sync.


Your organisation can connect one accounting system at a time. Labels that name `Milestone` and
`Contract` use your organisation's own term if you've renamed it.
