<Steps>
  <Step title="Access services">
    1. Go to the **Maintenance** tab → **Services**.
    2. You will see a global list of all services in the database.
    3. Select the service you want to configure.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Understand the accounting code">
    * On the service profile, locate the **Accounting Code** field.
    * The accounting code acts as a mapping code, linking Visualcare data to Xero.
    * For services, this maps the service to a Xero **Inventory Item**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Link the service to a Xero inventory item">
    1. Click the **Accounting Code** dropdown.
    2. Select the corresponding inventory item from your Xero file.
    3. Typically, the service code in Visualcare will match the item code in Xero.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Charge rate override">
    * Visualcare exports the charge rate to Xero for invoicing.
    * This means the charge rate in Visualcare will override the price listed in the Xero inventory item.
