Send invoices to other accounting systems via their APIs
You can already do a Xero to Xero invoice. I would like to link in to other on-line invoice aggregator services via their API and send an invoice to them electronically. I have a couple of multi national clients who refuse to accept invoices that are emailed with PDF attachments. They want me to use their invoice aggregator which either costs me money (if I integrate using their API) or time if I log on to their portal and manually enter each invoice (yeah right!).

unassign customer purchase while on an invoice
I assign a purchase to a customer. I then go to invoices and add that purchase. at the end of the month my boss goes through the draft invoices and deletes some assigned purchases off the invoices. The deleted purchase stay under that customer which becomes annoying. right now I have to go to the purchase, edit it and unassign it. seems like a long process.
from the dropbox above the description box in the invoice I would like to be able to have a choice to unassign customer, so that purchase no longer shows.4 votes -
Return RepeatingInvoiceID with Invoice GET
The Xero website notifies you when you are viewing an Invoice that was created by a RepeatingInvoice. There doesn't appear to be a way to get that information from the API.

Allow setting Expected Payment Date on modified invoices
The only way of modifying the Expected Payment Date via the API right now is to remove every payment first, then update the date and reapply the payments. We have customers paying via installments (of up to 30 payments) and it would seem a lot more logical to allow changing the Expected Payment Date.
The reason why the Expected Payment Date is important to us is that we use it for cashflow forecasting.

Add label to the Url feature of Invoice and Bill
Please add a label option so it does not show the label of the api. We use this to link invoices to bills and bills to invoices as they are related for our business.

Provide LineItemId on Invoice PUT
Recently Xero started surfacing the LineItemId for Invoice line items. This is a great initiative. However, to take full advantage of the LineItemId GUID's, we need the ability to send our unique LineItemId's on a PUT.
Assuming that we could to specify our LineItemId (and that it would be contained in the Xero Response) we would then have the certainty required to associate the Xero LineItemId response with our LineItemId's.
This feature enhancement is critical as our invoices always have multiple LineItems, often with the same quantity and Amounts.
We need a way to ensure we are able to match…

Add ability to delete Attachments
Using an A/R Invoice as an example, at the moment you can upload a new attachment, retrieve a list of attachments and download attachments. I would like to have the ability to delete an attachment - for example you might have uploaded the wrong attachment, but you need to login to the main Xero website to be able to delete the attachment.

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.

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.

Have addresses from the Fishbowl API be sent to the individual invoice rather than overriding the address in the contact screen
Allow Xero to receive billing and shipping addresses directly as the billing and delivery address for an individual invoice rather then it being sent to the overall contact screen. This would allow for invoices to have different addresses on them for the same client depending on the order. If this worked correctly, we could then have that address tied to and saved to an individual invoice. Currently, we have to manually change the address on every single invoice as our clients have orders shipped all across the country and the world.

Invoice Webhook - Send payload for custom connections
When the new authentication system goes live - the invoice webhook should send the invoice payload. This makes sense as the authentication system is 1:1, and it will reduce the amount of API calls.

include cost of sales on invoices
A customer of ours need to pull Invoices via the Xero API and are particularly interested in the COGS value of sales in order to calculate a Gross Profit value.
Unfortunately, that value does not appear in the Invoices endpoint.
I ran some tests where i posted a sale, then posted a purchase with items with a higher purchase price, then edit the sale and increase the quantity.
I then checked journals and i could see a reversal jounral for the COGS that used the old COGS value, and a reposting using the new COGS value.
This implies the data…
