# Filmo invoice draft approved in Xero → approve it in Filmo

> When the accountant approves in Xero an invoice that Filmo sent as a draft, marks it as approved in Filmo with the next number in its Filmo series and the date assigned by Xero, and writes that number to Xero too, without issuing it again. Documents originating in Xero do not trigger this workflow: they are recorded by “Invoice created and approved in Xero → record it in Filmo”. Any mismatch causes the workflow to fail with the reason and notify you.
