Invoices on this accountOne invoice per order, raised the moment the rule allows
No invoices raised yetAn invoice raises itself when an order is fully shipped and goes straight into the Xero flow. Nothing is keyed twice.
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.

Opening balance £1,984.74 plus 0 invoices totalling £0.00 less payments received gives £1,984.74, 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.
