Issue:

• Xero Bill Syncing error Contact name 

Environment:

• Clio Manage
• Xero

Additional Information:

n/a

Cause:

A separate version of the Contact exists in both Clio and Xero (i.e., it was not created as a result of the sync), but is not an exact match. 

Resolution:

Edit the Contact in Clio or Xero so that the first and last name (or company name) and the email address match exactly.
