# Force created invoices as Paid/Authorized

Direct order invoices in Xero are marked as paid once they have a payment against them; it's not just a status -- it fully depends on a payment existing.

When you reconcile an invoice and match it against the actual deposit in the bank feed, that will mark it as paid/authorized.

However, if your accountant or bookkeeper needs to have them sent as 'paid' without prior reconciliation with your bank, you may force Reconcile.ly to do so.

Although we honestly don't recommend having this option enabled, we trust your accountant knows how to make good use of the option.
