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…

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.

When entering a bill, could there be an option included to repeat certain information on the next entry?
This feature requests really applies to Bill entry. Is it possible to include a feature where there is an option to re-enter a new bill to the same supplier and where the date previously entered will automatically repeat? This would make data entry quite a bit quicker.

incorporate LawPay into your payment services options
Many lawyers cannot use just any Merchant Services provider, but Law Pay provides the necessary features for firms. It would be great if you could partner with them as Clio does.

automatically insert a Pay Now button when an invoice is emailed to a customer via the API POST function
Currently the Xero API allows us to trigger the emailing of a Xero invoice to the customer via a POST command.
If a Payment Service is already set up in Xero, the emailed invoice should automatically include the Pay Now button.

Invoices API: Enable/disable reminder when creating an Invoice

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…

Include ContactNumber in the response when fetching a single Purchase Order
When requesting a list of Purchase Orders the <Contact><ContactNumber> field is included in the response but this is missing when requesting individual Purchase Orders. Please fix this.

PDF's attached to purchase invoices have a URL link so that they can be used by 3rd party apps
PDF Invoices that are attached in Xero have a URL that 3rd party apps can link to
e.g a purchase invoice has an attachment which is thescanned copy of the invoice, we would like a url so we can link the pdf to a web app

Append Invoice Lines to large Invoices
Invoices with more than 60 lines will not POST to xero. The request is to large. It would be nice to load the invoice with 30 lines then append 30 more.

reminders
Include as part of the Invoice api, a reminders node listing the date/s reminders have been sent, rather than expanding the separate InvoiceReminders request.

Create an api for the in.xero.com portal?
It would be cool if we could push invoices to the in.xero.com portal from other 3rd party applications, then users could import them seamlessly into their accounts.

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.

AccountID to come across with Payments when getting Invoices from Xero API.
Hi there,
At most when I am doing a GET for Invoice details; the payment details that come across do not have the AccountID
This is the maximum amount of information I am ever getting from a Payment on an Invoice
PaymentID => 22974891-3689-4694-9ee7-fd2ba917af55
Date => 2017-10-18T00:00:00
Amount => 148.50
Reference => Chq 409But if I do a Get on the Payment ID I can grab the full details;
Can we get the AccountID to appear within the Payments array of a GET Invoice request?
Thanks

Technician/Service Person link to invoice
We are a service based company and we often have recurring visits per month for each client. Would it be possible to add the name of the service person or technician against each line entry?
Both the client and the business have a record of who made the sale or provided the service.1 vote -
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 -

<CurrencyCode> in invoices endpoint is ignoring lower case currency code
When I send "<CurrencyCode>usd</CurrencyCode>" to a CAD base ledger (with USD as a valid currency) the invoice currency becomes CAD. But if I change it to "<CurrencyCode>USD</CurrencyCode>" then it works fine. (data is coming from Stripe, which uses lower case).
Xero should always capitalize the currency code.

Create a purchase order for a customer from the customer's order
In MYOB you can change a quote to a customer purchase order.
When the order is created, you can click onto a tab in that order to create a supplier purchase order. That way the details of the customer appears on the supplier's PO. This is great for reference and tracking purposes.1 vote -
Be able to opt-out of invoice contact summaries
For example, creating invoice payments return invoice contact summaries in responses.
If contact details are required on the client side the result is a subsequent API call to retrieve them.
In this case the overhead of the subsequent call is greater than the cost of returning the information in the invoice payment response. This issue is compounded due to Xero API's rate limiting on requests.
An optional parameter 'enableSummaries=false' would be nice.
I understand that for cases like retrieving multiple invoices that summaries are useful but for single result responses, such as invoice payments the current functionality seems inconsistent. The…
