Why?

Billable Time Tracking: Agents can associate timesheet entries from resolved tickets directly with draft invoices in Xero. Once a ticket is closed and the timesheet finalized, agents can click the “Create Invoice” button to generate a draft invoice in Xero.

Contact Matching: If the ticket requester’s company name or email matches a contact in Xero, agents can link the ticket to an existing invoice. If no match is found, a new contact will be created automatically in Xero using the requester's name.

Automatic Population of Timesheets: When creating or editing an invoice, the timesheet from the current ticket is automatically populated on the draft invoice screen. Existing entries from other tickets are read-only during edits.

Inventory Item Association: Agents can link each timesheet entry to authorized inventory items. If an inventory item is selected, its unit price and applicable tax rates are automatically applied. If no item is linked, agents must select an "Account" name for those entries.

Draft Invoice Management: After filling in the necessary details, clicking “Create” links the draft invoice to the Freshdesk ticket. Agents can view the invoice name and status directly on the ticket details page. Admins must approve these invoices in Xero before they are sent to customers.
