# When assigning an account code for new items, why is the Xero code I want not appearing?

This is usually due to the account **Type** set in Xero for the account code you want to assign.

ServiceM8 only syncs with **Sales** or **Revenue** account types in Xero. You will need to either change the account type in Xero to Sales/Revenue, create a different account with one of those types, or choose an existing Sales/Revenue account for new items.
