# Setting up Tracking Categories in Xero

Xero tracking categories help you filter your reports when you manage a network of locations in Nexudus. All you need to do is create a tracking category in Xero. Nexudus adds tracking options as you transfer invoices from the different locations in your network.

1. Log in to your Xero Account.
2. Click **[Accounting > Advanced > Tracking Category](https://go.xero.com/Setup/Tracking.aspx)**.
3. Click on **Add Tracking Category**.
4. Add a tracking category name in the **Tracking Category Name** field.

          Your tracking category name must be one of the following to allow the connection between your locations and their corresponding tracking options:

          

- Location
- Space
- Site
- Center
- Centre
- Building

1. Click the **Save** button.

You've successfully created a tracking category for your network. Every time you transfer invoices from a new location, a matching tracking option is added in Xero.
