Are invoices posted as final or draft?
As drafts by default. Your accounts team approves them in Zoho Books. You can switch a work order to post final invoices.
Does it read payments back?
Yes. Payments recorded against a synced invoice update the bill's payment status and ageing in Tatha Vastu.
Can we connect two Zoho Books organisations?
Yes. Each Tatha Vastu division connects to one organisation, each authorised separately.
Can we disconnect later?
Yes. Revoke access in Tatha Vastu or in your Zoho account. Invoices already posted stay in Zoho Books.
