What happens if an internal FYI user is set up as a Client or as a Contact in Xero Practice Manager?

For practices integrated with Xero Practice Manager (XPM), emails may not auto-file if an internal FYI user has been added as a Client or as a Client Contact using their work email address.

This can occur where the internal user also uses the practice for their personal tax returns, is associated with the Client as a Contact, or where testing was previously completed in FYI or Xero Practice Manager (XPM).

Even when Include in AutoFile is enabled, emails will not auto-file while the internal user's work email address is linked to the Client or Contact record.

To resolve this issue:

  1. If the FYI user is also set up as a Client, update the email address in the Client record in Xero Practice Manager (XPM) to use their personal email address instead of their work email address.
  2. If the FYI user has been added as a Contact, remove the Contact from Xero Practice Manager (XPM), then add the Contact again using their personal email address.

Note: Changing the internal user's email address or updating the Contact will only apply to future emails.
