Description

To create login accounts for the Datapel WMS, a USER CONTACT is required in Xero.

Detail Steps

1. Create a new USER.

Only minimal details are required, and all users will default to an Individual Contact type within the Datapel WMS.


Users will require a username and password to configure from within the Datapel WMS.

After a new User creation, please proceed with replication in WMS using the refresh mode or wait for the overnight replication.
