  1. It would be good to be able to get the usual payment days number which is shown in Xero's contacts page through the API in order for displaying that data in in house software used to rate customers payments against their established payment terms.

  2. Given that credit ratings can now be shown for customers in the main application I would like to suggest that the credit rating, even as a number or as a descriptor (matching the rating gauge in the main interface, be made available through the API in the contact payload data so that when viewing customer data through the API the credit rating can be seen as well.

  3. I can create a new ContactGroup through the API yet I cannot delete that group?

    The documentation states "The DELETE method is used to remove a contact from a contact group or remove all contacts from a contact group."

    Neither of which I want. I want to remove the entire ContactGroup from existing.

  4. I'd like to be to able to enter the customers address when I create a quote or invoice. Currently I can only do this once the quote/invoice is created by editing the customers details.

  6. • Contacts/Project Dashboard - The Contacts page could be improved with a dashboard of all relevant data for that Contact such as the P&L for the client and their projects. I would also like to see a Statement feature detailing all invoices and payments in journal display i.e. account debits and credits, filtered either by Contact and/or Projects.

    • Sales Pipeline – A New Leads/Tenders/Quotes feature would allow the Sales team to add details for new clients and projects. Unsuccessful New Leads could be demoted to Old Bids which would keep the contact, bid and project details on the system.…

  7. When I create new delivery address for new PO I am able to specify its lable. However when I try to obtain available addresses from my company settings I cannot find address lable only address type. For all delivery addresses this type is the same: DELIVERY.

    We would like to list company addresses the way it is done during Purchase Order creation in Xero. The problem is that API does not send back the "Label" of the addresses (bold text like "Postal" or "Physical"). These labels are very important since they are used to set some meaningful name to the…

  8. When in the Client view, it would be helpful if you could opt to only show fields containing data.
    With the ability to enter a large variety of data fields, the page is quite long, however, for many clients a limited number of fields actually contain data.
    If the view could be minimised to only show the fields that actually contain data, the page would be shorter and easier to see the information at a glance without the need to scroll through the page.

  9. We used to have A-Z tabs on the top of the window to enable us to search for a contact. Could this feature be re-enabled as currently we cannot browse the contacts - we have to type in a name.

  10. When a contact is created in Xero it is not until after an invoice has been created that it gets converted to a customer (or supplier). Which is expected.

    However when the "If-Modified-Since" filter is used on the GET Contacts endpoint where the "If-Modified-Since" date is after the contact is created but before the conatct as made into a supplier (i.e. after the isCustomer or isSuppler flag flips from false to true in the body of the Contact response) then the contact is not returned in the response.

    I sugget a change that when a contact is converted to a…

  12. Currently (Jan 2016, API 2.0) using the API to PUT a new contact fails when its email is in use by an existing contact - as would be expected.

    However, if the contact that has the duplicate is archived, the PUT will SUCCEED, returning a new contact ID and everything. However, the new contact will not actually be added. This can be done repeatedly, each time "generating" a new contact ID.

    Given this, there is no way to ensure that a given contact has been added via the API before attempting to, for example, create a new Invoice via the…

  13. Optimise the collection process by having an automatic 'reminder' date (day/week) or a manual action to remind you to follow up outstanding account for payment. A calendar format to set action / follow update. Perhaps integrate with MS Outlook to include email attachments for follow up action.

  14. Please can we allow a contact to be associated with multiple shipping addresses. Whilst groups work to some extent, it is unforgiving if there are any inaccuracies in group membership (which does occur).

  15. Contact entity has a field to store Tax number type (EIN, SSN, ITIN and ATIN). This field is accessible via UI or in exported csv file, but not accessible via API, while "Tax Number" itself can be read using API.

  16. This request is to expose a boolean value to determine whether invoice reminders are enabled for a particular contact.

    Please let us know in the comments if you'd like to update this value as well as retrieve it.

  19. I would like to get a contact's statement via API just like the case is for invoices.In the request, we provide contact name then the response is the statement of the contact.This will be a cool feature to have.

  20. I would love to see the payments made against a supplier in the contacts.
    ie: date of payment and amount. Then be able to drill down and see what invoices were paid. As it is you can see invoices and that they have been paid but not dates of payment or amount paid unless you drill down into invoice and then drill into payment.
