# Syncing Invoices with Xero

## Before you start

Xero invoice syncing is controlled in Settings → Xero. Connect Xero and map tax rates and payment methods before turning on live syncing.

  1

### Open Xero settings

Go to **Settings → Xero** and confirm the intended organisation is connected.

    2

### Enable invoice sync

Turn on the integration and select **Sync Invoices**. Enable customer syncing if your workflow requires it.

    3

### Choose the trigger status

Use **Send Invoice To Xero When Status Is** to choose the invoice status that triggers sending.

    4

### Choose the Xero invoice state

Select whether new invoices should be created in Xero as Draft, Submitted or Authorised.

    5

### Map tax and payment methods

Match Repair Pilot tax rates and payment methods to the corresponding Xero values.

    6

### Save and review

Select **Save Xero Settings**. Review a synced invoice in both systems.

## What happens next

Invoices are sent to Xero according to the selected status and sync options. Review the first synced records in both systems.

## Common questions

**Does sync happen for every status?**
The Xero settings let you choose the invoice status that triggers sending.

**What Xero status will the invoice use?**
It depends on the Create Invoice In Xero As setting: Draft, Submitted or Authorised.
