# Record a credit note from Xero in Filmo

> Records a credit note created directly in Xero as an externally issued mirror in Filmo, and updates it from Xero (content, refunds and voiding). Documents sent by Filmo are skipped; a Xero draft waits for approval. A line with a compound tax or fixed-amount discount, an ambiguous contact or a duplicate number makes the step fail with the reason.
