Stop re-keying invoices
Finalised invoices and credit notes upload as they are raised, with your product and nominal code mapping applied.
Xero and Breww
Brewery stock journals, posted into Xero.
Breww goes further than uploading invoices. It posts the journals behind them too, so raw materials, work in progress, finished goods and cost of goods sold stay right in Xero without your bookkeeper rebuilding the stock walk every month.
Included in your plan, with no per-integration fee.
What brewery finance teams use it for
Invoices and credit notes, as they are finalised
Raw materials, WIP, finished goods and COGS journals
Payments and customer balances read back in
Batch costs landing in the right period
Eight things you can do with Xero
What the connection handles day to day.Let the stock walk post itself
Raw materials move to work in progress, then finished goods, then cost of goods sold, without anyone rebuilding the journey at period end.
Chase payment from one balance
Payments recorded in Xero come back to Breww, so your sales team and your bookkeeper are looking at the same outstanding figure.
See batch costs in the accounts
Other batch costs, WIP losses, stock adjustments, cleaning and maintenance each land in the account you mapped them to.
Accrue for goods not yet billed
Supplier invoices and goods received carry what arrived as well as what you were charged, so received-but-unbilled stock can be accrued correctly.
Keep products aligned
Breww can sync products with Xero as well as mapping each product to the account codes your finance team already uses.
Choose draft or approved documents
Xero is the one Breww accountancy connection that can create documents as drafts, giving your finance team a review step before approval.
Catch a sync failure as work
Errors arrive with an occurrence count, the document that caused them and a suggested fix, so your team knows what needs attention.
What moves, and which way
Two-way, and more than invoices.Finalised sales invoices and credit notes
Uploaded as they are finalised, with your product and nominal code mapping applied.
Supplier invoices and goods received
What arrived and what you were billed, so received-but-unbilled stock can be accrued without a separate note.
Payments and allocations
A payment recorded in Breww goes across with the invoices it was allocated against, so nothing is marked paid in one system only.
The stock journals
Raw materials to WIP to finished goods to COGS, posted automatically rather than rebuilt by hand.
Batch and production costs
WIP losses, stock adjustments, other batch costs, cleaning and maintenance, each to its own account.
Payments taken in Xero
A payment entered on the Xero side comes back to Breww, so however it was taken there is one outstanding figure.
Credit note allocations
A credit note applied to an invoice in Xero comes back allocated the same way, so what a customer actually owes matches on both sides.
Customer balances and statements
Breww compares its own totals with Xero and uses the difference to keep the account in step, rather than letting drift compound.
Sync errors, as work to clear
A failure comes back with the document behind it, how many times it has happened and a suggested fix, so your team knows what needs attention.
