XERO87 Export Error in Xero Integration

If you see the error:

XERO87 Export Error: Missing or invalid bank account. Please confirm an active bank account has been selected in the Expensify configurations before exporting.

This means the bank account selected in the Workspace is not valid or no longer exists in Xero.

Xero requires a valid, active bank account for certain export types.

Why the XERO87 Export Error Happens in Xero

The XERO87 error typically indicates:

• The destination bank account selected in the Workspace is missing in Xero.
• The bank account has been deleted or made inactive in Xero.
• No bank account has been selected in the Workspace settings.
• Xero validation failed because the bank account cannot be found.

If the bank account cannot be validated in Xero, the export fails.

This is a bank account configuration issue, not an authentication or category configuration error.
