Whether an invoice has been paid comes back from Xero with the balance, so the statement beneath and the ledger can never disagree. Supplier documents and the Xero connection itself are estate work, on global Invoicing.

The old buckets are what the reminder ladder is about.
Reminder ladderCreated and issued are different states; only one reaches a customerLevel 2 due
Issue level 2: Second reminder
Issuing lands on the account history with a name, a time and the note. A payment arriving from Xero drops the account out of this ladder on its own.

Opening balance £26,371.09 plus 1 invoices totalling £1,442.47 less payments received gives £27,813.56, which is the balance Xero holds for this account. Payments are the balancing figure in this simulation, which is stated here rather than hidden so nobody mistakes the statement for a real ledger extract.
