Send supplier bills to Xero or MYOB, checked first
Written by Autonome. Updated 5 November 2026.
How do I get supplier bills into Xero without keying them in?
Let Autonome read them for you. Each bill that lands in your accounts inbox (Microsoft 365 or Gmail) or a Company Files folder is read, the supplier's ABN and GST registration are checked with the Australian Business Register, and a draft bill appears in Xero or MYOB. You look it over and approve it. Nothing goes into your books until you do.
The check is the part that saves you money. If a supplier's ABN has been cancelled, or they've charged GST without being registered for it, the bill is held instead of drafted, you're told why, and an email asking the supplier for a corrected invoice is written for you to send.
- Every ABN and GST registration checked with the ABR before the bill is drafted.
- Bills with a problem are held, with the email to the supplier already written.
| Step | What Autonome does | Waits for you? |
|---|---|---|
| Read | Picks out the supplier, date, lines, GST and total | No |
| Check | Looks up the ABN and GST registration with the Australian Business Register | No |
| Stamp | Stamps the PDF ABN VERIFIED when the ABN is active (in PDF Studio) | No |
| Draft | Creates a draft bill in Xero or MYOB, or holds it and writes the email to the supplier | Yes, you approve it |
Trying it on your own bills
Start the 14-day free trial and connect Xero or MYOB through its own sign-in page. Then forward one supplier bill to your accounts inbox, or drop it into Company Files. A few moments later the draft is waiting in Approvals with the ABN check beside it. If you'd rather not connect anything yet, look around first with sample data and no card.
Working on an invoice in Autonome PDF? It notices when a file looks like a tax invoice (it looks for the words "Tax Invoice" and a valid ABN, on your computer) and offers to set this up for you.
Questions
Does Autonome need my Xero or MYOB password?
No. An Owner connects Xero or MYOB once, through Xero's or MYOB's own sign-in. Your team uses the Gadget without ever seeing that connection.
Will it pay or post bills by itself?
No. It only creates drafts, and bills with an ABN or GST problem don't even get that far. You approve every one.
What does the ABN check actually look at?
Whether the ABN is active on the Australian Business Register, and whether the supplier is registered for GST. If they charged GST and aren't registered, you'll see how much GST is at risk on that bill.
Can it check ABNs for leads as well as suppliers?
Yes. The Inbound Lead & ABN Enricher checks a new lead's ABN and GST status and adds a note to the HubSpot contact after approval.
