An API link Xero bank rules to Excel, for big time savings
If this extended API ONLY let us export, import, create and delete, it would quickly give us the fastest and easiest setup, the most current records, avoid many errors, sharply cut costs and encourage far better automatic rules. However, these savings and benefits will become many times more valuable as we use the combined rules, of many clients, to copy rules between old and new clients.
This also could soon give all Xero users local and national Excel rule libraries. Their rules could reference rule creators to encourage library contributions and support. The reputation of the rule creator, forum comments on each rule and the Likes (votes) of users will encourage much wider sharing of much better rules, at almost no cost.
Even that will only be the beginning. Once we have this type of Xero – Excel bidirectional link, many programs and users will use further extended versions it to simplify their access to other Xero data. That will give us many more Xero apps, at a lower cost, for a far more powerful system.
All this will soon make Xero automatic accounting far more automatic and far faster, easier and less expensive. If you want this, then please spend a few seconds to click VOTE HERE AND CLICK THIS LINK TO VOTE AGAIN:

Try not to make me wait much longer, as I have been waiting for this for more than 30 years.

Our free 0CPAs Internet Explorer (not Xero) API program exports Xero rules to Excel. You need not use IE (I use Chrome). It is not a trial. This 0CPAs will always give you the fastest (2 lines a second) and easiest way to find and fix Xero errors (except for later very inexpensive versions, discounted for early users). Compare your rules to our sample and sorted Excel rule files (after and before), plus Excel files created for other companies, to make your rules far more comprehensive and generic (cover many new payees automatically).

I already gave a 0CPAs demo to several top Xero people. Simply Google 0CPAs for your free copy. It will do far more by XeroCon US (9/3-9/6/13)
