Ideas for improving the Xero Payroll APIs

You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

  • When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
  • You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
  • To see ideas you have already voted on, select the "My feedback" filter and select "My open ideas".

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

If a similar idea already exists, you can support and comment on it.

If it doesn't exist, you can post your idea so others can support it.

  1. be able to overwrite timesheets via the API

    There is no way to delete Approved timesheets or revert them to Draft through the API. Sending a timesheet that already exists returns a message from Xero saying that the TimesheetID needs to be supplied as the timesheet already exists. Supplying the TimesheetID then returns a message saying that the timesheet is not in Draft. Another option would be to let the user revert multiple timesheets to Draft (in a similar way to how they can approve multiple timesheets at once).

  2. Filter list of Timesheets by Status and/or Modification Date

    I want to retrieve a list of unprocessed timesheets.

    In the Australian Payroll API you can filter the list of timesheets you retrieve by modification date, so you don't get 1000s of historical timesheets.

    However, in the New Zealand Payroll API this is not possible.
    Please add the ability to filter the list of timesheets by either status or modification date.

  3. Webhooks for timesheets

    It would be great to have webhooks for timesheets. Same for leave requests (requested by others).

    This allows us to create a better experience by having to know if a timesheet has been marked as paid and etc and allowing us to prevent any further edits and etc. Additionally, you may have different personas that may edit directly on Xero itself so it would be important to receive those hooks when it happens.

  4. Filter UK timesheets by date

    Unfortunately, UK timesheets API doesn't support filtering by date. That means in order to update a timesheet the client needs to page through every single timesheet in history! It's completely unworkable.

    Please add timesheet filter by date!

  5. Employee should be able to write a description of their day in their timesheets

    Instead of the basic rate or overtime rate box, it would be helpful to have a breakdown of their day. Where they've been and how long for.

  6. Start and End Times for Timesheets API

    Allow timesheet API post start and end times for timesheets. This is possible via the Xero app, but not via the API and we have a number of users wanting to load the data in this way rather than being limited to the number of hours.
