  1. Add the ability to filter by Updated Date on Files API

    This should be similar to the Modified After parameter for invoice requests. The UpdatedDateUTC field is available int the body of the file response and users would like the ability to filter on this.

    This is in lieu of webhooks notifying users of the file API of changes, which is a separate requested feature.

  2. IncludeOnline for files API

    Currently there is no option to include the files to be sent in email to customer with object e.g. Invoice.

    Attachments API has an option includeonline to specify if we want to send the attachments in the email to the customer.

    Also there is an issue to include multiple files via the attachments API. I have added 2 files via the attachments API to invoice only one of them is showing as included online but other file need to be manually included via Xero GUI

  3. Add the ability to download PayRoll files (either ABA files or transaction Files)

    It would be terrific to be able to download information about PayRoll payments, either in the ABA format or some other form.

    It appears all the information is inside Xero somewhere, it is just not exposed.

    For example, Company A has two employees Jen and Joe.

    Jen earns $12,000 in one payrun with $2,000 going to one bank account and $10,000 going to the second.

    Joe earns $7,000 in one payrun going to a single bank account.

    The total is $19,000.

    It would be good to be able to get this information out of Xero via an API

  4. On Attachment of supplier invoice against PO, update the POs UpdatedDateUTC

    Upon Uploading a file to a Purchase Order in Xero the UpdatedDateUTC value does not update.

    We are looking to pull all files linked to POs into our system and currently need to send a list of POs to check for attachments against, instead of easily knowing which PO has an attachment added since the last time we completed an API call.

  7. Allow XML file types to be uploaded as attachments to invoices

    We have electronic invoicing in Costa Rica and a legal requirement involves creating a xml file and sending it to the customer. It would be great if we could upload this xml file as xml rather than a txt to the actual invoice as reference in case the user wants to send the invoice with the xml included to their customer.

  8. Implement filters available from front end

    Incorporate the filters for outlet and revenue type and other available segmentations.

    Noted that Xero allows the user to configure accounts by 2 segmentations: seg1 and seg2.

    For example, trial balance filtered by seg1 and seg2.

    Alternatively, if the output can show information of seg1 ns seg2 for each transaction or account will also do.

  9. File Upload from Cloud Volumes

    Allow uploading of documents (my use case is Invoices) from cloud storage. Currently you can provide the document content, but it renders as a blank document in the viewer.

  10. Include content-disposition header in response on GET Files/{FileId}/Content

    When downloading files via the GET Files/{FileId}/Content, there is no way to know the filename without first getting the details of the file via
    GET Files/{FileId}/

    This means 2 calls must be made when downloading files.

    As a suggestion, to reduce pressure on the servers, the Xero API should include the content-disposition and content-type headers on GET Files/{FileId}/Content

    This would be similar how we need to include those fields on POST.

    This means we could simply parse these headers to find out the file name, reducing pressure on the xero api servers.
