Nursery accounting exports

Export invoices and credit notes from Blossom as a CSV file including Child Reference Codes, Account Codes, and exports compatible with Xero, Sage 50, and Quickbooks.


Child Reference Codes

You can add children’s unique reference codes which will match your accounting software. The codes are automatically populated by default unless manually edited by the user.

Where can reference codes be found?

For a specific child:

  • Children > select Child > General information (Edit) > Reference code is found at the bottom.

For all children:

  • More > Settings > Finance > Child reference codes > You can edit codes on this page.


Account Codes

All invoice items will include account/nominal codes that are compatible with various accounting software. These codes will be displayed in the invoice exports.

To view or change your account codes:

  • More > Settings > Finance > Account codes.


Exporting Invoices

Finance data can be exported as a CSV file for specific integration with Xero, Sage50, and Quickbooks, as well as a general export that includes all data.

  • Finance > Invoices > Export > select General (all data), Xero, Sage50, or Quickbooks > input date range > select a specific child or all children > select staff member whose email the export will be sent to > choose to export Invoices and/or Credit notes > Send Export.
