  1. It indicates you can do this for Invoices by setting the “Accept” value in the http header to “application/pdf”. I want the same functionality for the Paystubs/Payslips

  2. 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).

  6. Please provide a way to fetch payslips by employee id.

    Either adding a payslips element to Employees or providing a Payrolls API will do.

  7. After creating an unscheduled payrun via the Payroll AU API when you get the payrun it returns an array of payslips where the employee id and payrun id do not exist (the only fields returned are FirstName, LastName & UdatedDateUTC). If you then proceed into the xero admin (in the browser) and view the payrun you can then click to include an employee. Returning back to the API if you retrieve the payrun again the employee id and payrun id are then set for that employees payslip entry.

    We also tried creating approved timesheets for employees before the unscheduled payrun…

  8. In terms of what you have done around the Invoices paging, but now including all the line items, Do you have any plans to do something similar with the Payroll/payrun endpoint? Eg at the moment, I can get a payrun with a list of payslips on them, but I then have to make a call for each payslip to get the details of the payslip.

    If I have a PayRun with 100 Payslips, using the C# Wrapper, certainly, I have to make 100 calls to get all the details from the API, so that I can get the EarningsLines and…

  9. This applies to Payroll AU API (but possibly opthers).

    Currently, payslips include LeaveEarningsLines that allow you to see how much leave was paid out to an employee as wages.

    However, this is missing the crucial LeaveTypeID. This makes it impossible to pull a payslip and identify which leave the user actual took.

    It then forces you to look at LeaveApplications but there is no direct link between the two to help youj identify which leave relate to which payslip line.

    This needs to be added in order to allow reconciling.

  10. It would be nice to be able to hook into the leave events, requested, accepted, rejected etc.

    My use case for this is automatically adding leave requests to a calendar, and updating existing ones when their status changes.

  11. Implement the API for the input of Deduction Pay Templates in the UK API. This will allow automated bulk import from systems generating external deductions. Ideally, do this on a multi-employee basis, so that a single call will allow for the update of multiple employees. This feature appears to be available in NZ & AUS APIs already.

  12. Xero lets you define public holidays, assign them to holiday groups, and assign a holiday group to an employee. I'd really like to be able to:

    • Retrieve the list of holiday groups and holidays defined for each.
    • Include the name of the assigned holiday group for each employee when retrieving the list of employees.

  13. Also known as a group certificate, in Australia at the end of financial year employees need to be given a payment summary.

    To my knowledge this is not yet possible in Xero API. It would be great if this was added.

  14. 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.

  15. The basic method to terminate an employee is to set their termination date. However to re-instate an employee requires accessing the web-interface and choosing the re-instate button.
    As far as I can tell, this only removes the termination date from the employee record. It should be possible to remove that value in the API to allow re-instatement easily.

  16. In the Xero UI, under Accounting > Reports > Payroll > Superannuation Accruals/Payments sections, I can run reports for super contributions but this information is not available via any of the Xero APIs. There must be an underlying API call to retrieve this information and display this report in the UI - it would be good to have the same information available as an API.

  17. It's recently become possible to view all leave application irrespective of their state, but it's only possible to create leave requests in with a "scheduled" status. It'd be very useful if the API could be used for an employee to create a leave request.

  18. Ability to set deduction entries (either fixed amount or percentage) in payslip. Currently, the only option is to amend the pay template of the employee which means it may automatically roll onto the next pay run.

    When approving a timesheet, we would like to set deduction items for that pay calendar which pull through similar to timesheet line entries, but unique for that pay calendar. Eg. an employee would have a fixed amount deduction one month, but not the next.

    This could be part of the timesheet or the payslip, but ultimately determined by the pay calendar of the employee.

  19. We have numerous users in the UK who wish to update payslips just like we are able to do in NZ/AU - the GET request exists already, but no POST request is available (it is enabled in the NZ version which looks identical). Can we please enable it?

  20. Like AU payroll api, UK payroll api should also have POST end-point so that applications can automatically post payroll information rather than entering them manually.
