Push to Xero didn't send everyone

Short answer

If Xero was busy or unavailable, Roux Roster tries again by itself. Anyone still not saved is listed in Not saved to Xero, with a reason. Push again with only those people ticked.

Open in Roux Roster

What you see

  • The message after the push says how many people were not saved.
  • A Not saved to Xero box shows at the top of Timesheets. It has one line for each person: their name and the reason.
  • The box stays until you click Close or push again. It also goes if you leave the page, so note the names first.

People under Held, not included in the push window, or listed after Skipped or Left out in the message, are different. They need a fix before they can go. See If someone is held or not saved.

Why it happens

Xero limits how many requests it accepts each minute and each day, and it is sometimes unavailable for a short time. When that happens, Roux Roster waits and tries again by itself. If Xero still won't take someone, Roux Roster lists them so nobody is missed without you knowing.

ReasonWhat to do
Xero was busy (rate limit). Not saved. Push again.Push again for those people.
Xero was unavailable. Not saved. Push again.Wait a few minutes, then push again. You can check Xero on our status page.
Xero's daily limit was reached. Not saved. Push again later.Push again later, for example the next day.
Ran out of time before this person. Not saved. Push again.Push again for the people who are left.

Any other reason is Xero's own message about that person. Fix what it says, then push again.

Push again for the people not saved

  1. On Timesheets, click Push to Xero.
  2. Pick the same payroll file and pay period as before.
  3. In the list of people, tick only the people from Not saved to Xero. Untick everyone else.
  4. Click Push to Xero.
  5. Check the message. If no Not saved to Xero box comes back, everyone was saved.

If it keeps happening

  • Push fewer people at a time. A smaller push finishes sooner and makes fewer requests to Xero.
  • If the reason is about the Xero connection, see Xero says it needs reconnecting.
  • If it still fails, send us a message with the pay period and the reasons you see.
