TABLE OF CONTENTS

Select the Invoice Document to Send


To send an Approved Invoice to Xero, open the Integrations page in Precoro and select the corresponding type in the Documents to Send field. Choose the Xero Document Status from the list of available: Approved, Awaiting Approval, and Draft. The Approved document from Precoro will obtain your chosen status in Xero.

Save the settings you have selected.


How the Invoice Is Sent to Xero


Once the Invoice document has received the status Approved in Precoro, it is automatically sent to Xero.

In Xero, the document will receive the status you have set on the Integrations page in the Xero Document Status field.



The Invoice document in Xero can have the following statuses:

  • Draft — available only if you start creating an Invoice via Xero. 
  • Awaiting Approval — all approved Invoices in Precoro will have this status in Xero. 
  • Awaiting Payment — an Invoice gets this status in Xero after a person in charge approves it.
  • Paid — assigned after an Invoice was received and paid.
  • Repeating – in case you wish to schedule a repeated payment.

Editing or Revising the Invoice 

 

The changes you make in Precoro can only be applied to those Invoices that have not yet been approved and have the Awaiting approval status.

If you make changes and send them to the already approved Xero document, they will not be imported.


You can Edit or Revise an Invoice in Precoro using the standard system logic. To send the made changes to Xero, please use the corresponding button:

Invoice Cancellation


To cancel an Invoice in both systems, go to Precoro and Cancel the selected document there.

In Xero, the document will be deleted automatically.




There is no particular stage for Canceled Invoices in Xero. They are simply deleted and are not displayed at any other stage anymore.
