  1. API error responses in Xero contain a substantial sack of unnecessary XML which complicates compliance with data-privacy legislation (GDPR for example). Included in the error response is the original request XML. The original request will most likely contain personally indefinably information which means these messages require substantial filtering before being returned into logging systems or error notification infrastructure.

    In some cases the error message itself contains customer information i.e. <Message>The contact name Bob Smith is already assigned to another contact. The contact name must be unique across all active contacts.</Message>. Perhaps in these examples it would be better if…

  2. I am trying to query overpayments by GUID with 'Where' filter and it doesn't seem to work.

    Where=OverpaymentID==GUID("d32...b4") -> does not return any
    Where=Status=="AUTHORISED" -> returns rows as expected
    .../Overpayments/d32...b4 -> returns as expected

    Is this a bug or I am doing something wrong?

  3. According to BankTransaction documentation found at https://developer.xero.com/documentation/api/banktransactions
    Reference is currently supported on Receive and Spend transactions.


    Reference Reference for the transaction. Only supported for SPEND and RECEIVE transactions.

    Is there a reason why this is not supported?

    When I create a BankTransaction through either Xero UI or API, reference is stored and shown on UI; however, it is not available through BankTransaction API.

  5. It is currently not possible to update the ReportingCode and ReportingCodeName on an Account via the API.

    We would find it useful to correct discrepancies in the assigned reporting codes automatically via the API

  9. It would be useful if invoices appeared in side by side view On the approvals screen to allow for easy checking and adjustments to data pushed in from OCR providers.

  10. I have a few clients who have a Group of companies, transactions between them are posted through an intercompany loan account, which needs to be reconciled. It would be great if transactions posted to that account appear in a linked company and a check is made to show that the loan accounts balance.

  11. This would allow us to build tools to do bulk budget exports for multiple periods from our current system. (I think that budgets import might be coming through the user interface anyway, in which case this isn't really needed).

  12. E-mailing updates to receivable accounts about their payments via the API would be very useful. Via the web interface, this is possible by sending a statement. API request is to be able to retrieve a statement report and email it via the API
