The data sync between the systems typically occurs within 10 minutes of an event occurring either in Parakeet or Xero (highlighted in BOLD).
The only event which runs at the end of the business days
Note:
* For Bills paid via Bank account, the event is marked as 'PAID' after it has cleared by the banks, which can take up to 3 business days.
Therefore, although Parakeet has collected the payment, if the status is marked as 'CLEARING' in your Parakeet portal, then it will NOT reflect in Xero until it is marked as PAID.
