I suggest you ...

PUT/POST tracking categories and options

Be able to create tracking options via the API. Also when creating invoices via the API allow the creation of tracking options within Xero's existing tracking groups if they don't exist.

    No ETA on when we might be able to do this yet, but definitely something we want to get to – keep voting and let us know of specific use cases you might have – they are always useful when we look at scoping development.

        Any update on this? We are adding the category in order to assign expenses to specific customers, but I need a way of populating the tracking category from an external source which has the list of all our customers.

        We are currently developing a Line of Business (LOB) application which handles large scale contract (date based) calculations around invoice line items. We are intending to use Xero for ALL accounting and will be relying on the use of Xero Categories for Cost Centre and Profit Centre reporting.

        The initiation point of a Xero Category would be on our side of the API in the LOB application and the ability to either PUT or POST Categories (in addition to GET) is essential.

        Critical for our upcoming implementation!
