Xero Accounting StrawberryThe Xero Accounting tracking categories nobody wants to work through
Hand a companion the outcome. It reads the Xero Accounting tracking categories, does the 38-operation version of the job, and stops for your click on anything that changes a record.
Open the tracking category. Check it against something else. Write the change. Move to the next one. That is the Xero Accounting afternoon nobody can hand off, and a companion does the whole pass and gives you back the batch, with nothing landing on a tracking category until you approve it.
What it can do is exactly what Xero Accounting exposes to an account you authorise and nothing beyond it: 38 operations, 19 reads and 19 writes. In practice that means it can create a payment, update a contact and create an or update contact, and work across the tracking categories, contacts and invoices.
The Xero Accounting API stops at Xero Accounting. A companion does not. The same run opens the customer's website, the supplier portal, the internal tool somebody built in 2019, because it is working the browser you are already signed into rather than calling in from outside it.
Where do the tracking categories come from?
19 of the 38 operations are reads.
Your account, not a guess at it: a companion can list tracking categories, list manual journals and list invoices, and the full list below is the whole list, with nothing inferred from Xero Accounting's documentation.
The tracking categories are what most of this inventory is about, alongside the contacts. A companion can hold all 38 of these operations and forty open tabs in the same pass, which is how an afternoon of Xero Accounting admin becomes a queue you review.

Which tracking categories wait for your approval?
All 19 write operations wait for you.
A companion can create a payment, update a contact and create an or update contact, and each one is staged on an approval card first: you see the tracking category, the field and the new value before it lands in Xero Accounting.
Nothing in Xero Accounting is sent, changed or deleted on your behalf without that click, and a rejected card leaves the tracking category exactly as it was. The gate is the same one on every surface, described at security.

What does the recurring tracking categories pass look like?
Yes.
Saved as a routine, the Xero Accounting tracking categories pass runs at the hour you pick: the Monday sweep, the overnight refresh, the Friday check. Keep Awake holds the machine awake for the length of a run, so a scheduled pass finishes with the lid closed.
The operations playbook catalogues the other recurring shapes of store admin, the Xero Accounting tracking categories sweep among them, and finished runs are published at real runs.
