Improved validation before export

We added a validation check to help you spot cases when the export result doesn’t reflect what’s on the invoice.

What improved for you

  • You’ll now see a clear check in the document view when captured amounts and export amounts don’t match.

  • If needed, you can resolve the difference by changing the tax code or adjusting the amounts.

  • For now, exports are not blocked - the differences are shown for visibility only.

How it works

  • When reviewing a document, Datamolino compares the captured invoice amounts with the amounts that will be exported.

  • This includes totals and tax amounts based on the selected tax code.

  • If there’s a difference, it’s shown directly in the checksum widget inside the document view.

  • You can fix it by changing the tax code or editing the amounts.

  • If the difference is expected, you can export as usual.

Xero specific - Tax settings

Let Xero calculate tax (default)

  • Amounts are recalculated automatically based on the selected tax code.

  • The checksum widget helps you see the result before exporting.

  • This remains the recommended and default setting for most cases.

Send exact tax amount (for rounding issues)

  • Datamolino keeps the captured amounts as they are.

  • This is expected behaviour and is useful when small rounding differences exist between the supplier’s calculation and Xero’s calculation.

  • You can still export documents as before.
