# Release Notes 2.127.0

# ✨NEW FEATURE

### XERO INTEGRATION

This update changes how invoices, transactions and booking costs are managed in TRIPS Web. Your day-to-day workflow will stay familiar, but there are a few changes to know about, and one action needed for your saved reports. The Xero Integration connects TRIPS Web with your Xero account, so you can create and manage client invoices from within TRIPS Web.

:::warning
Xero Integration will need to be configured before use of this feature can commence. If you're interested in learning more, please contact us to book a session with one of our Customer Success specialists, who will take you through the setup.
:::

To see how the feature works, read the guide here: [TRIPS Web - Services - Xero Integration](https://shared.outlook.inky.com/link?domain=go.pardot.com\&t=h.eJxljlFPgzAUhf_KwrNwKbSU7slkmby44EyWyJMp0BZc4S6luEzjfxee1Ph2cr7knO8zmJ0Ntpug8_4ybQEMRhfpWvRRgwMoICRmIkvAOOl7HMOl7UcTTrjkutwXD8NpMhVcPXUfVyCcUEoTwRl0kLxgdTJud5vd8xHRTtX766F_RFfe8kK_FcfzXD7R8TCHNLjbBOdVo5FODXLyyoXGYi0tONl0ykYd2laN9z989YvkDIJr3dCakzyrZd4kTCcqlkQLlcaKiGxxEmnOUsqyiKWM5Jyvb2p960eN_ydX3P6V-UX6hZCvb1U2YwU.MEQCID2XFTTscoCplwFHBWCdkMmciPI1PYBXVTWJQsoQYkZIAiAsFnmH111ZCV-hc48R6rYBEfO_A07XoeeRQFWUR-nCqA)

### ACTION REQUIRED: UPDATE YOUR SAVED REPORTS

Please update your saved reports before the next time you run a report:

1. Replace total\_cost with expected\_cost. The field has been renamed.
2. If you don't use the Xero Integration, add cost\_to\_invoice and remove invoice\_total. invoice\_total now only fills in when an invoice is created through the Xero Integration, so it will be empty for everyone else.
3. Optional: add actual\_cost to see any adjusted costs.

We also recommend updating any internal instructions that mention "Amount Asked" to say "Expected cost".

### WHAT'S NEW

• New Invoices and Transactions pages: one place to view and manage a client's invoices and charges, and one place to view, add and edit payments, including payments recorded by drivers in the driver app. Open them from the navigation menu or from the existing Invoices & Charges and Transactions tabs on the Client Profile.

• Prepay a booking: a new "Pay for a booking" option, on the Client Profile or from a booking's actions, lets you record a payment before the trip takes place. This is optional.

• Allocate multiple bookings to one transaction: a single payment can now cover several bookings. TRIPS will now warn you if the transaction amount doesn't match the total of all assigned bookings.

• New Prepayment column: shows on the All Bookings list and the client's Bookings tab, so you can see at a glance which bookings have been paid.

• Refund a booking: once a booking has been paid for, a new Refund action records the refund as a transaction.

For further details on the new prepayments and refunds, please view this guide → [TRIPS Web - Managing Booking Payments and Transactions](https://support.caremaster.com.au/articles/trips-web-managing-booking-payments-and-transactions-zv4rcBVgsY)

### CHANGES TO THE VERIFICATION PAGE

• "Amount Asked" is now called "Expected cost". Only the name has changed but reports will need to be updated.

• New "Actual cost" column. Use it only when the real cost differs from the expected cost. If you enter an Actual cost, that amount is used for invoicing.

• The "Invoice Total" column has been removed from the verification page. Invoices are no longer automatically raised as part of the Xero workflow.

• The “view transaction” link now takes the user directly to the transaction page to view the linked transactions details.

• Driver app payments for multi-stop bookings are now split correctly across every stop. Previously the full amount showed against the first stop. Nothing changes for drivers.
