The situation

Staged billing makes gaps harder to see

Simpro is strong precisely because it models complex work: quotes become projects, projects carry cost centres, and billing happens progressively. That richness is also what makes an incomplete commercial picture hard to spot. A job with two invoices against it looks handled. Whether those invoices cover the completed value is a different question.

Xero, for its part, records exactly what was issued. It has no view of how much operational work sat behind each invoice, so it cannot tell you that a third stage was never raised.

RegentOps compares the completed operational value with the qualifying invoiced value and reports the difference for review — as a question, not as a debt.

What is compared

Simpro records against Xero records

  • Simpro jobs and projects

    Completion state, customer, and job value read read-only from your own build domain.

  • Xero invoices

    Canonical status handling: draft noted, voided and deleted excluded, authorised and paid treated as effective billing.

  • Customer resolution

    Simpro customers are linked to Xero contacts. Ambiguous pairs are presented for confirmation and the decision is stored.

  • Completed-with-no-invoice

    The primary deterministic finding. High confidence, because absence is unambiguous once the customer is resolved.

  • Partial billing

    Where some invoicing exists but falls short of completed value, the shortfall is reported at lower confidence for human judgement.

Cost centres, labour rates and supplier bills are not used to decide whether revenue is at risk.

Worked example

Project completed. Total operational value £12,600.

  • Final stage may not have been raised.
  • Or the project value may have been revised after billing.
  • Either way, a commercial decision is required.

Illustrative example. Not customer data. RegentOps describes this as commercial exposure requiring attention, never as money owed.

Positioning

Simpro and Xero already talk. This is a different job.

The existing Simpro to Xero connection moves financial documents between the two systems reliably. That is a transfer function: when an invoice is raised, it appears where it should.

Reconciliation is an audit function. It asks whether the set of invoices in Xero accounts for the set of completed jobs in Simpro, and reports the residue. Nothing about that competes with either product — it simply cannot be answered from inside either one.

If your operational system is ServiceM8 instead, the equivalent page is ServiceM8 Xero reconciliation. The wider commercial pattern is covered on revenue leakage software.

Simpro and Xero: common questions

Does RegentOps replace Simpro?
No. Simpro remains where quoting, jobs, projects, scheduling and cost tracking live. RegentOps reads that record and compares it with your accounting data.
How does progress invoicing affect reconciliation?
Project work is often billed in stages, so a job's invoiced total may legitimately differ from its value at any point. Reconciliation focuses on completed work with no qualifying invoice at all, and value differences are reported as a separate, lower-severity category.
Which Simpro build does it connect to?
The connector authorises against your own Simpro build domain, so multi-company and regionally hosted builds connect to the correct instance.
Does it use Simpro cost data to decide what is at risk?
No. Supplier and labour costs are not treated as money at risk. A completed job with no qualifying invoice is a billing question, decided on job and invoice records alone.
What about jobs still open as projects?
Open work is not raised. Only jobs recorded as complete, with a resolved customer and an elapsed grace period, are evaluated for a missing invoice.
Can RegentOps write back to Simpro or Xero?
No. Both connections are read-only. Every corrective action is taken by your team in the system that owns the record.
