Method 1 - Standard Batching

Standard batching involves manually selecting invoices through the Process screen.  

1. From the Process screen, select the invoices you want to send across to Xero.

2. Click Create Batch.

3. Click Confirm to create the batch.

4. You will then be navigated to the newly created batch of invoices. Ensure the interface at the top right is set to Xero.

5. Click Export Analysis to send the invoices to Xero. (The invoice will be sent to Xero via the Xero API).

Once it has all been processed the User will be sent an email saying it was successful. (No CSV file is needed or produced).
