NOTE: If a product in your Xero account contains multiple units of a product in your Bowimi account, use our “Case Size” column to reflect that. For example, the product in Xero could be called “Absolut Vodka 70cl x 6” and in Bowimi could be called “Absolut Vodka 70cl”. In this case you’d match these two products with each other and put the number 6 into the “Case Size” field. -
Once done, head back to the “Actions” modal in the previous step and choose “Match Entities”.
