Everything you need to understand KalkuleX.

KX Lite gives each user a reusable Xero-to-Excel workspace, with supported Xero relationships already established and natural-language guidance for finding the right information. KX Suite includes those foundations and adds integrated reporting, consolidation, planning, product, sales, purchasing, inventory, production, permissions and other ERP capabilities around Xero.

KalkuleX is software for people who keep their books in Xero and do finance work in Microsoft Excel. It helps them prepare reports, combine companies, check results and repeat the work without rebuilding it each time. KalkuleX does not replace Xero.

Choose KX Lite when each person needs a focused, reusable Xero-to-Excel workspace. Choose KX Suite when a growing SME needs broader ERP capability around Xero—including product groups, enhanced sales and purchasing, planning, inventory, production, approvals and organisational control—without replacing the Xero ledger.

Yes. Separate users can begin with KX Lite, and a growing organisation can adopt KX Suite when central control and broader capability are required.

During the free beta, connection growth is limited by KalkuleX’s approved Xero developer tier. Every connection still depends on the user’s Xero permissions and Xero’s platform allowances. Any customer limits will be stated before wider release.

Yes. KX Lite provides the focused Xero-to-Excel foundation. KX Suite includes those relationship-aware data, Excel, reporting and control foundations while adding integrated finance and operational modules around Xero.

No. Your books stay in Xero. KalkuleX helps you prepare, analyse and report on the information, but it does not create a second set of books.

No. Reporting and reusable Excel work are important foundations, but the product range extends into consolidation, GL Cross-Match, audit intelligence, close and workflow, receivables, purchasing, controlled Xero actions, inventory, production, planning, workforce and operational finance. The breadth and level of central coordination differ by product.

KX Lite brings the Xero data you are allowed to use into Microsoft Excel. Supported relationships between Xero records are already established, so you can choose useful outputs without understanding relational databases or writing joins. A natural-language helper suggests relevant source information for you to review. You can then save the report and refresh it later.

Both can bring Xero data into Excel, and KX Lite connects independently. KX Lite also links related records, combines companies, keeps each row’s source clear, saves the report setup and refreshes it later. KX Ai sees only the worksheet information you provide; it cannot sign in to Xero or change your books.

Yes. An organisation can install KX Lite for multiple users. Each user has an independent standalone workspace and signs in with their own authorised access. KX Lite does not add central user administration, shared permissions or networked workflow control; those organisational controls belong to KX Suite.

No. It describes how each installation operates, not a limit on how many people may use KX Lite. A business may deploy multiple independent KX Lite installations across its organisation.

Yes. KX Lite can combine data from several Xero organisations in one Excel result and show the source company on every row. Beta access remains subject to the connections available under KalkuleX’s approved Xero access tier.

KX Lite can prepare reports for daily and regular finance work, combine several companies, match different account lists with GL Cross-Match, collect supporting documents and refresh saved reports whenever the underlying information changes. It shows the expected KX Credit price before any credits are used.

Yes. Microsoft Excel remains the working and analytical environment. The workbook, its authorised source context and the reusable KX definition stay connected so the result can be reviewed and refreshed without rebuilding the same export each time.

The meaningful core experience is intended for Excel on Windows, Excel on Mac and Excel for the web. iPad support depends on the Excel APIs and usable workspace available for the required workflow. A Windows-only local service is not intended to be mandatory for core product access.

You can still use existing workbook content offline. You need an internet connection to sign in, retrieve or refresh Xero data, check permissions and run KalkuleX processing. Offline data is not presented as current.

KX Suite is an ERP bridge between standard Xero and a larger ERP replacement. It keeps Xero as the accounting system of record while adding integrated finance and operational capability, including richer product structures, enhanced sales and purchasing, planning, consolidation, inventory, production, permissions, approvals and controlled workflows.

It is intended for growing businesses that need more structure, control and functionality than standard Xero provides but cannot justify the expense, complexity or business disruption of moving to systems such as NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics 365 or SAP Business One.

Yes. KX Suite includes the KX Lite Xero-to-Excel foundations: supported Xero relationships, natural-language source guidance, reusable workspaces, multi-company work, GL Cross-Match, evidence and visible KX Credit estimates. It then extends those foundations into integrated finance and operational modules.

Networking is only one part of KX Suite. Its primary purpose is to bridge the functionality gap between standard Xero and a full ERP replacement. It adds product groups and master data, enhanced invoicing, purchase orders and supplier bills, planning, consolidation, inventory, production, operational modules, permissions, approvals and controlled Xero actions around the Xero ledger.

KX Suite is designed to cover reusable Excel data workspaces, financial and management reports, executive reporting, report groups, subgroups and custom subtotals, cost centres, company groups, multi-company consolidation, mappings and eliminations, budgets, forecasts, cash flow, receivables, purchasing, close workflows, exceptions and audit intelligence. The benefit is a traceable management view across companies and operating structures without replacing Xero as the accounting system of record.

Supported workflows are intended to prepare sales invoices, customer credits, supplier bills, purchase orders, manual journals and approved adjustments. Every write pathway must remain narrow and permissioned: prepare, validate, review, approve, confirm, write, read back, reconcile and retain an audit record. Xero authority and supported APIs remain the ceiling.

KX Suite is designed to connect product groups and master data, units, suppliers, pricing, tax and account mappings, replenishment, purchase orders, stocktakes, multiple warehouses and stock locations, kits, bills of materials, work orders, material movements, work in progress, production costing and related adjustments. The benefit is that stock and production decisions can be reviewed alongside budgets, approvals, accounting effects and operational evidence.

Use the KalkuleX contact form and select KX Suite. Tell us which limits in standard Xero are creating work for your team and which finance, product, sales, purchasing, inventory, production or operational capabilities matter most.

KX Credits pay for the processing needed to prepare work you choose, such as a Xero-to-Excel report. KalkuleX shows the expected credits and price before anything runs, so you can approve it or change your selections.

The KalkuleX product range does not use ordinary monthly access fees, per-seat pricing or annual contracts. KX Credits are added when needed and applied to approved work. Product-specific purchase, setup and optional support terms are stated before commitment.

Tell us about one real finance task, your version of Excel and the Xero organisations available for testing. We review compatibility and contact suitable applicants with the next steps. Applying does not automatically provide product access.

Yes. KalkuleX shows the companies, dates and columns selected, along with the expected KX Credits, before any credits are used. You can approve each report or set a maximum credit amount for routine work.

No—the choice is yours. If you do not set a limit, approval is required for each item of work. When you are comfortable, you can set a maximum KX Credit amount per query that you are willing to pre-approve. For example, with a 50,000 KX Credit limit, any query estimated at or below 50,000—including a query estimated at 4,900 KX Credits—can proceed automatically under that saved approval. A query estimated above 50,000 must stop and ask for your specific approval. You can change or remove the limit, and every estimate and KX Credit transaction remains visible and recorded.

No. The limit controls only whether a fresh KX Credit approval is needed for the estimated processing. It does not expand a user’s permissions or bypass any separate review, approval, confirmation or authority required to write information to Xero.

Yes. Larger packs provide more KX Credits for each dollar because the bonus-credit percentage increases with the pack size. The current Pricing page shows every approved pack, its included bonus credits and its effective price so you can compare the exact value before choosing.

No. A subscription normally charges for continued access or seats over time. KX Credits are applied to approved processing and work. The software is positioned around available capability, work completed and value enabled rather than seat rental.

The work does not start. You can choose fewer companies, dates or columns, or add more KX Credits before trying again.

No. A user’s Xero authority remains the maximum access available for that company. KalkuleX may restrict access further, but it does not broaden Xero permissions. Missing, expired or unclear authority is treated as denied access.

No. Users authorise access through Xero’s sign-in and consent process. KalkuleX does not ask users to provide their Xero password to the product.

No. KX Ai never receives Xero credentials, uses a Xero API client or calls Xero. KX Ai may analyse worksheet information deliberately shared with it and prepare suggestions or commentary, but KX Ai-assisted information is not eligible for a Xero write. No administrator can override this boundary.

No supported write workflow should bypass its required authority and approval controls. A write must be prepared, validated, reviewed, explicitly approved against the exact version, confirmed, executed, read back, reconciled and recorded. The product must also prevent duplicates and preserve recovery information.

The selected company is authoritative. Company-scoped data, lookups and permissions must reload for that company, and late responses belonging to the previously selected company must be discarded so information is not shown in the wrong context.

Governed workflows are designed to retain the user, company, time, selected scope, decision, outcome, source references, before-and-after references where applicable, and the relevant application or rule version. Saved results should reopen without silently rerunning paid work.

No. You choose the companies, dates, transactions and columns needed for the job. KalkuleX retrieves only that work and follows Xero’s availability and rate limits.

KalkuleX should identify whether information is unavailable, not loaded, outside the user’s permission, not applicable or genuinely zero. It does not invent values to make a screen appear complete.

No. KalkuleX supports management reporting, finance analysis, reconciliation, traceability, obligation planning and evidence preparation. It does not provide a statutory audit opinion, legal or tax certification, or statutory accounts production.

Yes. Some lenders allow an applicant to authorise a connection to accounting software so financial information can be assessed digitally. The information requested and the assessment method vary by lender. KalkuleX does not connect to, represent or predict the decision of any lender.

Lenders and government authorities increasingly work with structured digital information, direct software lodgements or third-party data matching—not only reports prepared after the event. Clear, current and explainable underlying records make it easier for a business and its advisers to understand what that information supports before it is required externally.

No. KalkuleX helps authorised users review information, retain source context, identify exceptions and investigate matters requiring attention. Accuracy still depends on the underlying records, appropriate reconciliation and the judgement of the business and its professional advisers.

KalkuleX can help users maintain clearer, more current and more reviewable accounting information. That can make it easier to understand and support the financial position presented by the records. KalkuleX does not guarantee eligibility, approval, borrowing capacity or lending terms.

No. KalkuleX does not send information to a lender or government authority merely because a customer uses the product. Any external connection, lodgement or disclosure must occur through the relevant authorised process and with the required permission.

No. Xero can provide useful organisation details, but ownership, voting rights, tax relationships, consolidation treatment and similar conclusions require facts and professional judgement. KalkuleX keeps those decisions with authorised people and does not infer them merely from a country, organisation type or ledger entry.
