# Xero Tracking Categories

> Learn about Xero Tracking Categories in ServiceM8.

When you switch on the add-on for **Xero Tracking Categories**, you will see an extra tab when you create/open a job -- so you'll have the Job Details, Quotes & Invoicing, and the extra tab 'Custom Fields' for Xero Tracking Categories as shown below.

Xero has tracking categories that help identify invoices for reporting. This add-on allows you to set jobs with a tracking category in ServiceM8 that will be set to in Xero.
