Get list of attachment details by array of invoice IDs
Currently to get an invoice attachment you need to make a call to the attachment endpiont for a specific entity id, then you need to make a call to the download end point for each found attachment.
We need an efficient way to be notified of weather there is an attachment or not, othewise we will quickly hit our api quote just looking up attachments on invoices.
Would be great if we could request all attachment details objects for an array of invoices to reduce the number of calls we need to make in order to find attachment details for…

Adding first attachment or removing last attachment to an invoice should trigger the invoice webhook
Currently if you add an attachment to the invoice where none existed before, the invoice webhook is not fired, even though invoice.hasAttachments is changed to be true.
Same for if you remove the last attachment on an invoice, this should trigger the invoice webhook as the hasAttachments is now false.

Update Repeating invoices via the API
It's great that we can create and delete repeating invoices via the API, but we also need the ability to update them, especially options such as ApprovedForSending, Next Invoice Date, and Due Date.

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…

Ability to configure the email (to, subject & message) when creating repeating invoices via the API
It's great to see that creating and deleting repeating invoices is now available in the API. However, there was one crucial thing that was missed: There is no ability to create/define the EMAIL MESSAGE that gets sent with the repeating invoice.
The documentation mentions “You can use the API to trigger the email of an approved repeating sales invoice out of Xero by setting the ApprovedForSending to true and the status to AUTHORISED.”
The API has the fields SendCopy, MarkAsSent and IncludePDF, but there is no ability to define the actual content of the email.
This has somehow been missed.

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.

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.

Customisation of packing slip
There needs to be a simple way of customising the inbuilt packing slip (and accessing it) rather than having to go in and change the view.
Or can you please amend it to at least include a signatory section for the recipient to sign as Proof of Collection and change the name to Delivery Note.

deferred
Our business uses deferred income, and my accounts person makes an excel sheet everything month to calculate it (I only discovered this the other day)
Having revied the invoice API, it would be awesome if
1) A field called diferredincome to the invoice item, so that we can flag an invoice on creation as diferred, and export that information via the api. The field value would be number of months. E.g. a difered invoice over a year would have the value of 12.
2) Create a diferred income report using this data.
3) Create the journal entried for the diferred…

Link Projects to Invoice Line Items
Currently its impossible to link invoice items (revenue) to projects using the Accounting API. Furthermore, its impossible to modify invoices that have line items that have been linked to projects using the web UI.
This is a show stopper for us who have automated billing solutions and want to track the profitability of those projects within Xero. It's heartbreaking to have to do this outside of Xero.
Please make it possible for us to link invoice line items to Projects in order to use Xero as our Billing engine for invoices and invoice items that are generated outside of Xero…

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.

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.

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…

REFERENCE Field is now missing for API for ACCPAY invoices
REFERENCE Field is now missing from API calls for ACCPAY (Accounts Payable) as per attached examples, change seems to have happened on the 4th June 2020
1 voteHi Terry,
The Reference field is only for ACCREC Invoices.
For ACCPAY Invoices, the value that is displayed in the UI as ‘Reference’ is returned in the InvoiceNumber field.
So we can support you better in future, please raise these kind of issues with support (api@xero.com) rather than UserVoice.
Thanks,
Adam
