1. Xero already offers a manual Pay Advance process, but this functionality is not exposed via API.

2. This feature is essential for our application, enabling employees in urgent financial situations (e.g., requiring funds for car repairs before payday) to apply for a pay advance through our app.

3. Once an employee submits a request, we intend to create the Pay Advance entry directly in Xero Payroll. Given the potential volume of requests, a manual approach is not viable.

4. Since this functionality already exists in Xero Payroll, exposing it via API should be straightforward and would significantly improve efficiency.
