# Why Xero to Logistaas

> Why finance teams automate Xero payment receipt into Logistaas with duplicate-safe create_payment.

Manual re-keying from Xero into Logistaas creates **timing drift** — finance thinks cash is recorded, operations cannot trust payment state.

## Problems this flow targets

- Payments recorded in Xero but missing in Logistaas until someone copies them.
- Duplicate payments when staff retry after an ambiguous error.
- No audit trail tying a Logistaas payment back to the Xero event.

OnDraft automates the receipt path with explicit serials and idempotent success on duplicates.
