Questions, answered

Will it apply the codes in Xero without my approval?

No. WebRun only suggests and logs. You approve or override each category in the review sheet, and apply them to Xero yourself.

How accurate are the suggestions?

Very accurate for repeat vendors - it learns from their past account codes. For brand-new vendors it makes its best guess and flags those for closer review.

What if I override a suggestion?

Note your preferred code in the Override column. WebRun learns from your corrections and improves suggestions for that vendor in future runs.
