FAQ: Xero Categories Aren't Importing/Showing in Expensify
First, make sure you've enabled all the categories you want your employees to use at Settings > Policies > Group > [Policy Name] > Categories. If a category is disabled, your employees will not be able to add the category to an expense.
Second, make sure your expense categories have imported from Xero, and have not been manually created in Expensify.

Lastly, go to Settings > Policies > Group > [Policy Name] > Connections and click Sync Now to ensure all the Xero categories are imported.
