Viewing and approving a draft invoice in Xero

Once the draft invoice has been created, you can open it in Xero to review and approve it.





Important notes
  1. The GST is applied by Xero, not Kindo.
    The GST option selected in Kindo only controls whether GST is shown on the purchaser's receipt.

  1. GL codes must match between Kindo and Xero.

  2. If a GL code does not match, you can update it directly in the draft invoice in Xero.

  3. If manual updates are required, update the GL code in the Payable Catalogue in Kindo to prevent future mismatches.

  4. Each invoice line will always show a quantity of 1.00.

  5. The unit price shows the total amount for that ledger code.
You can check the invoice total against your weekly or daily Kindo reports, or reconcile it directly to the bank deposit.
If you have more than one invoice for the same time period, all invoices can be reconciled in Xero against the single Kindo deposit.

Once you have reviewed the draft invoice and confirmed the details are correct, approve the invoice in Xero.
