Xero Validation Error: Invoice not of valid status for modification (Inventory)

Error

Xero Validation Error: Invoice not of valid status for modification

Applies to: ConnectWise Manage, Xero

How can this happen?

• An inventory adjustment or inventory transfer has already been synced (existing) in Xero as a $0 invoice which cannot be modified.
• A Xero API issue could have caused an unexpected sync failure that prevented the record to be batched successfully. 

Solution

1. Create a manual batch to remove the transaction from the Accounting Interface > Unposted Procurement. (Recommended if the record posted correctly in Xero)
2. Edit the Adjustment or Transfer in Xero so that it is not $0 and Re-Sync the record.
