Syncing Stopped

When your Xero syncing stops as a Practice Admin log into your Xero settings, and an alert should appear with the reason for the syncing failing.

Custom Item: 'XXXXXXX'. Error: Item Code must not be more than 17 characters long.

This error is due to a Non-MBS item which has been created being too long in character length. Currently the maximum length for an item to be synced to Xero from Clinic to Cloud is 17 characters including spaces.
