Connected finance & systems

The order is reviewed. Now let it move.

Porosi connects the commercial record your team approves to the finance and systems work that follows—starting with a connected Xero workflow.

01 The Porosi position

Integration should begin with a decision—not an unreviewed basket.

A connector cannot repair a weak order. Porosi gives your team the operational checkpoint where customer, product, quantity, price, tax, delivery and amendment context can be understood before the finance record is created or updated.

  1. 01
    The customer is identified.

    The order stays attached to the approved trade account and the commercial relationship behind it.

  2. 02
    The final lines are understood.

    Products, quantities, substitutions, prices and notes reflect the version your team is ready to fulfil.

  3. 03
    The handoff is deliberate.

    Your people decide when the operational record is ready to become a finance or back-office action.

  4. 04
    The result remains traceable.

    Connection state, invoice references and exceptions can be followed without rebuilding the story from separate systems.

Porosi sits hereBetween the order your customer places and the record your business acts on.

02 Choose the handoff

One integration page. Three honest routes.

The right promise depends on the system. Xero is a connected Porosi workflow. QuickBooks is a planning route. ERP and API work begins with the record contract and the supplier’s existing process.

Connected

Keep the operational decision attached to the Xero action.

Review the wholesale order in Porosi, then use the connected workspace for invoice creation and updates, credit-note work, payment-status continuity and supported product workflows.

03 Xero, connected

Move the reviewed order into Xero without losing the story behind it.

Porosi’s Xero workspace is designed for the point after your team has checked the commercial record. It brings connection state and the finance actions around orders into the same supplier environment.

  1. 01Review the order

    Confirm the customer, final lines, pricing, tax, delivery and any changes before finance action.

  2. 02Prepare the invoice

    Choose the invoice state and email behaviour that fit the accounts process agreed for the tenant.

  3. 03Create or update

    Use the connected Xero workflow for the initial invoice and supported updates when an invoiced order changes.

  4. 04Follow the result

    Keep invoice references, payment status, last sync information and exceptions visible to the team.

Connected Xero workflow areas

  • Invoice creation & updates
  • Credit-note workflows
  • Payment-status continuity
  • Product & account mapping
  • Connection & sync visibility
04 Correct after invoicing

Invoiced is a checkpoint. Not a dead end.

Some wholesale workflows introduce lock-in periods or move exported orders beyond the editable queue. Porosi keeps eligible invoiced orders open for correction.

Invoiced alone does not lock the order. Fix the missed item, wrong quantity, price or delivery fee in Porosi, save the change, then update the existing Xero invoice immediately from the same order.

  • No duplicate order
  • No invoice rebuild
  • No re-keying the correction

05 QuickBooks workflow planning
Current position: workflow planning

Design the QuickBooks handoff around the finance workflow you actually use.

“QuickBooks integration” can mean very different things: QuickBooks Online, a desktop process, an import route, a draft invoice, an approved transaction or a human review step. Porosi starts by making those decisions explicit.

The goal is not to force a standard diagram onto your accounts team. It is to define what leaves Porosi, what QuickBooks should receive, who approves it and how the business handles a mismatch.

Plan your QuickBooks workflow
QuickBooks routeDecision sheet04 questions before build
  1. 01
    Which QuickBooks environment?

    Confirm the product, company structure and the process accounts uses today.

  2. 02
    What should be created?

    Define the target record, intended state and the trigger for release.

  3. 03
    How should records map?

    Set customer, product, tax, account and identifier ownership.

  4. 04
    Who owns an exception?

    Agree visibility, correction, retry and escalation before rollout.

06 ERP & API

Bring the system you already run. Start with the contract between records.

An enterprise handoff is more than an endpoint. Porosi scopes the source record, destination ownership, timing, identifiers, update rules and exception path around the supplier’s operating model.

Ownership

Decide which system is authoritative for customers, products, stock, prices, invoices and status changes.

02

Timing

Choose the event that makes an order ready and whether downstream changes are permitted after that point.

03

Identity

Map stable customer, product, tax and order identifiers instead of relying on names that can drift.

04

Recovery

Give the team a visible path for a failed mapping, rejected record or required correction.

08 Integration rollout

Bring five invoices—and the orders that created them.

That small sample exposes the decisions a generic connector diagram hides: account matching, line descriptions, tax, substitutions, delivery changes, credit notes, approval and who fixes an exception.

Porosi uses those real examples to agree the workflow before configuration and to prove the result before a wider operational release.

09 Integration questions

What the technical conversation should settle.

Bring the current order, invoice and exception path. Porosi will separate what is connected today from what should be configured, mapped or technically scoped.

Does Porosi connect with Xero?

Yes. Porosi has a connected Xero workflow covering invoice creation and supported updates, credit-note work, payment-status continuity, product and account mapping, and connection or sync visibility. Eligible invoiced orders can remain editable: save the correction in Porosi, then use Update Xero Invoice to apply it to the existing linked invoice. Paid, part-paid and closed invoice states remain protected.

What is Porosi’s current QuickBooks position?

Porosi currently positions QuickBooks as a workflow-planning route rather than claiming an available universal connector. The technical conversation confirms the QuickBooks product, target record, approval state, mappings, update behaviour and exception ownership before a solution is proposed.

Does Porosi replace our accounting software or ERP?

No. Porosi is the supplier-owned ordering and operational layer before the downstream finance or back-office record. Accounting software remains responsible for the books; an ERP remains responsible for the operational domains assigned to it.

What order data can be considered during integration discovery?

Discovery can consider order identity and status, the customer account, products, quantities, prices, discounts, tax, notes, delivery context, amendments and the fulfilment outcome. The final contract includes only the fields supported by the chosen workflow and receiving system.

Can Porosi work with an existing ERP or custom API?

ERP and API requirements can be scoped around the supplier’s current process. Porosi does not claim a universal plug-and-play connector for every ERP. Discovery defines the source and destination records, identifiers, ownership, timing, security, update rules and recovery path.

Can staff review an order before it reaches finance?

Yes. That review point is central to the Porosi approach. Staff can resolve customer, product, quantity, price, substitution, note and delivery context before the order is released into the next configured stage.

How do we test an integration safely?

Start with representative orders and their expected invoices, including at least one amendment or exception. Agree field mappings and ownership, configure the route, compare the resulting records and prove the correction path before a wider live rollout.
