  1. fix the Balance Sheet report via the API to support periods and timeframe

    You have recently completed "fix the Profit and Loss report via the API to support periods and timeframe", but not for Balance Sheet.

    This means can't do weekly cashflow reporting as balance sheet items are end of the month only which defeats the purpose of the P&L fix as need to balance this across to the balance sheet.

    Should be able to do as at any date.

    BUT can do this report via the Xero Reports in Xero. Needs to be consistent.

  2. Sort your reports out

    Why are Xero reports so frustrating??? Is it just me?
    Another one that has wasted extreme amounts of time, the vat audit report.
    Why is it spread over a ridiculous area so you have to view it in wide view to see any useful information. What is the point? It fits it on a normal view then expands itself and you lose half the useful information?

    Then you have to randomly click all the blue underlined options to find the ONE that drills down to the detail. You check what you need to - ie why the hell there are…

  3. Include also zero balances account in result

    When an account has a zero value in the P&L Report (but also in all others), it is excluded from the returned data.
    The request is to provide in the result all accounts, even if they have 0 balance and/or no transactions

  5. report

    I would like the Receivable Invoice Detail report exposed to the API, if possible. Right now I have to generate the report (with some custom settings) and export it in order to copy over sales data on specific SKUs to our custom system so we can do some analysis on those items. This is all a manual process, and it would be so much nicer to be able to automate it to run as a daily task that uses the API. Thanks for your help!

  6. make reporting api developer friendly

    The Xero reporting api needs an overhaul to enable to report content in a format that makes it much easier to parse and retrieve data from it. The current way the data is represented requires custom parsers to be created at the consumer's end

  9. Trial Balance Report - Add Parameter to specify sort order

    At the moment the Trial Balance report via the API can only be sorted by Account Name. I would like to see a new parameter to allow us to specify the sort order for the report, e.g. by Account Name or Account Code. These are the same options available in the Xero UI.

  11. add an option BankSummary to include accounts with zero balances and no transactions

    When an account has a zero balance and no transactions for the specified time period in the Bank Summary Report, it is excluded from the returned data.

    The request is to provide an optional parameter, 'includeZeroBalances' or the like, that includes these accounts and displays them in the report with zero balances.

  13. create a new report for suppliers customers

    We need a report which can show all activity in suppliers/customers ledger by date ie invoice date, description, payment date. I cannot see anywhere a report like that which would be very useful.

  14. Tracking Summary Report with Account Groups and Tracking Categories

    Xero is awesome for Financial data management and manipulations. Its API providing the extra strength to Xero for integrating Xero with other webapps. Of course Most of the APIs are in still Xero Development Phase, But we need an extensive API for getting the reports(at minimum Tracking Summary Report) to make the use of tracking summary data inside webapps.

  18. Is it possible to have the Management Report and more budget reports available to export via API?

    I use QWD and would like to see the Management Report exportable as well as more budget reports eg budget per month from budget manager.
    This would allow far more flexibility in building reports and dashboards.

  19. Include statementLineID in Bank Statement report

    In lieu of a Bank Statement endpoint, including the statementLineID in Bank Statement report would be really helpful

    We present a view of the Xero bank statement and show the bank account balance in some of our reports. It's difficult to reliably keep the bank statement in sync without some kind of unique ID on the statement line.

  20. Generate reports by using specific identifiers in the "reference field"

    As a building business it would be nice to ascertain the costs of a specific build/client to ensure the company is on track with profit/loss per project.

    When I started out in Xero, and when all purchases were been entered in as drafts, when a certain reference was entered, such as the client name or job number, a running total was always displayed as to how much was spent on a particular build/client.

    Ironically once the purchases were approved and/or paid, upon typing the same specific reference, would no longer provide a tally or what was spent, to be paid…
