Update the UpdatedDateUtc value on an invoice when an invoice is sent or unsent via the Xero web interface
Sadly this is a bug not a feature request ...
We have found and verified that invoices that are sent via the Xero web UI do not update the UpdatedDateUtc value. In the case of synchronising to an external system this makes it difficult to keep the invoice status in sync (so we can avoid expensive API calls).
Typical use case is:
- A lot of invoices are created - these sync to our local system.
- We track the latest modified date and store for future syncs.
- Invoices are sent from Xero - webhooks trigger for these.
- We then check with…

Send pdf invoice when invoice send is triggered by the API
We have been trying this endpoint
POST https://api.xero.com/api.xro/2.0/Invoices/aa682059-c8ec-44b9-bc7f-344c94e1ffae/EmailIt sends an email to the customer with a link to the invoice.
Currently it is not possible to configure this so that it includes the pdf attachment. There is a check box option for this functionality if using the UI.
I am just thinking of all those people that want their pdf invoices sent directly to their ReceiptBank accounts etc.

Auto invoice number and references
If you leave the reference field blank on an ACCPAY invoice then the invoice number is automatically generated using the defaults INV-00381 etc. But if you give a reference 'August 2020 travel charges' and leave the invoice number blank then the API copies the reference and makes the invoice number 'August 2020 travel charges'. I want auto-generated invoice numbers but to be able to give an independent reference.

Online Invoice URL - Allow fetching with invoice or in bulk
Currently we can only grab the Online Invoice URL Field via a standalone API callout to the Invoice endpoint which includes the invoice number in the callout.
This proves to be a big issue with applications that grab and store historic data in the application.
For example:
We connect our application with Xero and there are 20,000 historic invoices in Xero.
We store the invoice data in our application for these 20,000 invoices, but we want to get the Online Invoice URL so the customer can add it to custom templates.
Because we can only callout to 1 invoice at…

Add some extra data to web hook events
Specifically for Invoices, some items like 'status' would help the code responding to the webhook to decide what to do - otherwise for every web hook event we need to access Xero to get the invoice - that's a lot of data when all I need is the status.
There may be a case for some other fields to be included.

To generate OnlineInvoiceUrl while creating Invoices in single API call
Need to have a way to generate OnlineInvoiceUrl while creating Invoices in single API call so no need to do api calls twice to get the onlineInvoiceUrl using GET https://api.xero.com/api.xro/2.0/Invoices/9b9ba9e5-e907-4b4e-8210-54d82b0aa479/OnlineInvoice

Get the list of projects and invoices / bills lines attached
Currently, it is not possible to get the list of invoices / bills lines attached to a project. Neither via a report nor via API.
It's only possible to get the list of invoices for a particular project in the GUI and we are not even able to get an extract of that info.
We are using other operational systems and need to use this info. Plus, we would like to point out all invoices where there is no project attached and this is currently impossible.
That would be awesome if we could extract this via API.
Thank you

Include TotalDiscount on GET /invoices
Please return the TotalDiscount when searching for multiple invoices.
Xero, indeed, only returns the TotalDiscount when searching for ONE invoice, by its UUID or Invoice Number.

Allow an objectId as the pagination start point.
GET https://.../Invoices?order=UpdatedDateUTC%20DESC&page=2
OR
GET https://.../Invoices?order=UpdatedDateUTC%20DESC&id=12345
Either way both return 100 results either starting at page 2 or at object with id 12345

Batch payment API by InvoiceNumber instead of InvoiceID
Thanks for the current batch payment API. it works with InvoiceID.
Can you please update this API by allowing to use the InvoiceNumber instead of InvoiceID.
The InvoiceNumber is much more user-friendly and actually used by accountants instead of the long ID, that needs an extra lookup.
Can you please let us know when can you update it?
For example:
<Payments>
<Payment>
<Invoice><InvoiceNumber>ORC1039</InvoiceNumber>
</Invoice>
<Reference>ggg</Reference>
<Amount>10.00</Amount>
</Payment>1 vote -

Invoice/Webhook - When posting Invoices, be able to set a flag to stop the Webhook from sending the same data back
With Webhooks enabled, it is pointless to have the webhook send the same data back to us when we are posting the data to Xero.

Enable copying of purchase orders to bills
Currently the Xero UI allows users to copy a purchase order to a bill which is useful for tracking an order through to payment. This functionality however is not present in the API. The API also does not provide any reference between a bill created in this way and the original PO, so it is impossible to determine whether or not a Bill was created in this way.
I propose that the API enables a few things:
- Provide the bill/invoice/purchase order ID with the original purchase order. This ID would be the newly created records ID and allows us to…

Add Paging on Repeating Invoices Endpoint
Currently paging is not available on the repeating invoices API call. We have a client who has too many repeating invoices for Xero to return, and without paging there is nothing we can do to get the repeating invoices data out of Xero's API.
