Pay Clearing Account 

Xero Bills that you pay using pay.com.au will be displayed in your Pay Clearing Account in Xero. Please wait for your Pay Clearing Account to show your bills as ‘Reconciled’. This will occur automatically once the payment is executed and will take less than one day. 

IMPORTANT: Manually updating this status to ‘Paid’ in Xero will mean that we are unable to automatically reconcile your payments. 

Why are my payments not reconciling in Xero?
