Verified steps

  1. Complete the Xero OAuth 2.0 authorization code flow; after token exchange, call GET https://api.xero.com/connections to retrieve the list of connected tenants and their tenantId values.
  2. Store the tenantId for each authorized organization; all subsequent API calls require the Xero-Tenant-Id header set to the target tenantId.
  3. POST to https://api.xero.com/api.xro/2.0/Invoices with Content-Type: application/json, the Xero-Tenant-Id header, and a body containing Type (ACCREC for receivable), Contact with ContactID, LineItems array, and DueDate.
  4. Each LineItem must include at least a Description and LineAmount, and optionally AccountCode, TaxType, and Quantity/UnitAmount.
  5. The response returns the created invoice object including InvoiceID and Status; store InvoiceID for future operations.
  6. To approve a DRAFT invoice, issue a POST update with Status set to AUTHORISED.
