Porosi × Xero

The order changes. Your Xero invoice can change with it.

Review the wholesale order in Porosi, create the invoice in Xero, send it, and keep eligible corrections attached to the same linked record.

01 Before the invoice

Xero should receive the order your team approved—not the message your customer happened to send.

Porosi gives the order desk the commercial checkpoint before accounting: the right customer, final products, quantities, prices, tax, notes and delivery context in one record.

  1. 01
    The account is known.

    The approved trade customer and invoice email stay attached to the order.

  2. 02
    The final lines are clear.

    Substitutions, changed quantities, prices and delivery fees reflect what the team will fulfil.

  3. 03
    The finance state is deliberate.

    Create the Xero invoice as Draft for review or Approved for the next step.

  4. 04
    The result comes back.

    Invoice reference, sync activity, email state and Xero updates remain visible in Porosi.

The ownership linePorosi owns the wholesale order. Xero owns the accounting record. The link keeps both understandable.

02 One invoice lifecycle

From reviewed order to the books—without losing the operational context.

The Xero connection is not a one-way export button. Porosi keeps the team oriented before creation, during delivery, and when finance status changes later.

03 The Xero control room

See the connection, invoice setup and recent activity without leaving Porosi.

The Xero workspace brings the operational controls together: organisation connection, invoice readiness, creation status, email delivery, tax setup, branding, COGS journals and recent finance activity.

  2. 02Invoice readiness

    See whether account, tax and invoice settings are ready before an order is sent.

  4. 04Action queue

    Bring issues to the top and keep invoice, email, credit-note and Xero update activity beneath them.

04 Set the finance behaviour

Decide what Xero receives—and what happens immediately after.

These are working preferences in the Porosi Xero workspace, not a generic connector checklist. Choose a control to see the operational decision it governs.

Invoice creation

Keep a review gate—or create the approved invoice.

Draft leaves the accounting record in Xero for finance review. Approved moves it into the authorised path and can unlock automatic invoice delivery.

  • One tenant-level preference
  • Visible before the first invoice
  • Protected by readiness checks
05 Correct after invoicing

Invoiced is a checkpoint. Not a dead end.

An invoice should not force your team to duplicate the order or rebuild the accounting record when a legitimate wholesale correction arrives.

Invoiced alone does not lock an eligible Porosi order. Fix the item, quantity, price or delivery fee, save the change, then update the existing linked Xero invoice from the same order.

  • The same order
  • The same Xero invoice
  • One visible correction path

06 After invoice creation

The connection keeps working after the first invoice ID appears.

Creation is only one moment. The real operational value is keeping finance activity understandable when contacts, emails, credit notes, payments or connection health need attention.

08 Xero questions

What finance and operations teams ask first.

Bring the invoice process you use today. We will map the Xero connection against the customer, tax, email and approval decisions behind it.

Does Porosi connect directly with Xero?

Yes. Porosi connects a supplier’s Xero organisation to the order workflow. The connected workspace covers invoice creation and supported updates, invoice-email delivery, credit-note activity, payment-status continuity, account and product mapping, connection health and recent sync visibility.

Can invoices be created as Draft or Approved?

Yes. The Xero workspace lets the supplier choose whether new order invoices are created as Draft or Approved. Approved invoices can use the automatic email route; Draft invoices stay in Xero for finance review.

Who sends the invoice email?

The supplier can choose Porosi email with the Xero-rendered PDF attached or Xero’s own email delivery. Automatic sending requires an approved invoice and a valid invoice email on the customer account.

Can we change an order after it has been invoiced?

Eligible invoiced orders remain editable. Save the correction in Porosi, then use Update Xero Invoice to apply it to the same linked invoice. Paid, part-paid, voided, deleted and cancelled states remain protected and do not expose the update action.

Does Porosi handle Xero credit notes and payment updates?

Porosi includes connected credit-note workflows and listens for supported Xero invoice updates so payment and finance status can remain visible beside the operational order record.

Does Porosi replace Xero?

No. Porosi is the wholesale ordering and operational layer. Xero remains the accounting system; Porosi gives it a clearer reviewed order and keeps the linked finance action visible to the supplier team.

What needs to be configured before launch?

The rollout confirms the Xero organisation, sales-account and tax mappings, customer and item identity, invoice state, email sender, branding theme, COGS preference and exception ownership. Representative orders are tested before a wider launch.
