To install RIO Finance and connect to Xero, you will need to complete some initial setup steps:

1. Xero Setup
2. Salesforce Setup

Xero Setup

Xero Requirements:

• Starter license or above

Private

To connect to a Private application, you will need to get your Xero Consumer Key, Consumer Secret, Private Key and Certificate Expiry Date.

1. Login to https://developer.xero.com/myapps/
2. Create or select the Private App you want to connect to
   • If you’re creating a new Private App, you will need to generate a Public/Private key pair. Xero has detailed steps and a quick walkthrough video to help you with this.
   • The Private Key can be opened with Microsoft Word, Notepad, or a similar word processing document. You will need this during the Salesforce Setup.
   • Note: Copy the section between the ——-BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY ——– and the ——-END RSA PRIVATE KEY———, and remove the spaces so everything is on one line. This will let you copy and paste it into our configuration page later.
3. Take note of the Consumer Key, Consumer Secret and Certificate Expiry Date, you will need these during the Salesforce Setup.
