  3. Implement support for the reference field in the new Overpayment and Prepayment Endpoints

    The addition of Overpayment and Prepayment endpoints, for us is still not functional with the addition of the reference field in these. Without this there is no robust way to save a prepayment at one point in time, then be able to look this prepayment up later to be used for allocation purposes.

    Same problem for Overpayments.

    Hope this can be added very soon as we are looking forward to the XERO api having proper Prepayment support.

  4. Statement list without zero amounts showing

    When listing the statements in accounts receivable to print or email could there be a button to select 'no zero amounts shown' so only the debtors with amounts owing show

    This would be so much easier to select statements to print or email at the end of the month

  6. Add visibility of Quotes to the Main dashboard - Alongside Invoices.

    Add visibility of quotes summary to the Main dashboard - either under:

    "Invoices owed to you" - replacing "draft invoices" or adding alongside "draft invoices".

    or

    a stand alone "Quotes Summary" section

    Now we are using quotes - we have no further need to use "draft invoices". But have No visibility of quotes from the Main Dashboard.

    declined  ·  AdminXero Developer Platform (CEO / Founder, Xero Developer Centre) responded

    As this forum is for developer API functionality requests and yours relates to something that would need to happen in the main application, I’m afraid we have to decline this suggestion, but don’t take it personally – we would still love to see you make your suggestion in the Xero Community forum: https://community.xero.com/business/

    We do already have a request thread on this topic: https://community.xero.com/business/discussion/7973127

  7. page numbers

    Have the page numbers and "jump to page" option at the top as well as the bottom.
    So you don't have to scroll to the bottom on each new page.

  8. Supply <Attachments> elements in standard endpoints when `page` is given

    Currently, it seems that you need to make a separate call to get <Attachments>. Being able to get this supplied on the standard invoices/bank transactions/manual journals/credit notes endpoints when page is given would help lower the number of API calls without much increasing the amount of data sent.

  10. Open up the Pay Run (Global) to the API

    It is currently not possible to get/post/push data related to the payrun for the global edition. This limits integration with systems who can help with the administration of the payroll.

  11. The ability to approve purchase orders, invoices and bills using the Android app

    I would like to have the ability to approve all invoices, bills and PO's that have been submitted for approval using the Android app on my phone. Instead of what I have to do not which is to login to the Xero website through my phone and navigate the small text to painstakingly reach the item that requires approval.

  14. The ability to include all open invoices with the statement...

    This can either be in the same PDF, or links within the statement PDF. This would avoid asking us for copy invoices, even though they have been sent to them...

  15. Make it possible to back up and restore xero at any point

    Xero makes it very difficult to undo transactions and postings if they have been done incorrectly. Could you make it so before handing xero over to clients you could take a back up of the accounts which you could then restore if nessacery and overwrite any mistakes made.

    Thanks

  16. expose organization details via API

    A application that I am working with needs organizational details after connecting to xero, Most of the info we need is available, but several fields exist in the Organization that are not yet exposed via API

    Can we get APIs exposed for Description and Email Address?

    Also, logo might be nice too if possible.

  17. Fast way to reclassify bulk transactions from any type of account, location, or class in Xero.

    We need a fast way to reclassify bulk transactions from any type of account, location, or class. QuickBooks has the Reclassify Transactions feature and Xero should have the same.We also need the ability to change account types for bank accounts to any Asset, Liability, Equity, Income, and Expense accounts. My suggestion, give us Xero Partners accountants tools like QuickBooks does for us. Our clients do not get these tools, but QuickBooks ProAdvisors get them. Xero can do the same for us Xero Partners.

  19. Automatic credit card billing for recurring invoices

    You currently allow invoices to be paid using credit card (DPS, PayPal etc).

    If it's a recurring invoice (particularly if it's monthly) it'd be great if the client could opt to be billed automatically by credit card.
