Common Sync Fault Messages

Unable to sync Invoice. No valid contact for the invoice

Please see this article 

This document cannot be edited as it has a payment or credit note allocated to it.

This error occurs when an invoice is created in Autotask with the same invoice number as an invoice in Xero and is trying to sync to Xero, but the invoice  is marked as paid or partially paid in Xero, and sync cannot proceed.

What does "Invoice not of valid status for modification" mean?

This is a Xero related fault, the error means that invoice number already exists in Xero for the invoice you are trying to sync from Autotask. To fix this issue you can change the invoice number already in Xero then try using the re-sync feature to pull the invoice down again.

A validation exception occurred - Account code xxx has been archived, or has been deleted

Invalid email address can't sync invoice

Autotask allows for non-compliant email addresses to be entered into the contact's details - this will cause a Xero validation exception. Please check the contact's email address. You may have to update this in Xero and allow it to re-sync back to Cloud Depot.

Organisation is not subscribed to currency

Although you are using multi-currency in Xero, you still need to add the currency you want to use.
In Xero, you can do so via Settings > General Settings > Currencies
