include the optionID in the "Get budgets" operation
According to the developer reference here https://developer.xero.com/documentation/api/accounting/budgets
The get budgets operation should include both the tracking category option name and ID.Currently, only the name comes through which means we are forced to name match unless we validate the names via a seperate API call before trusting that budgets are for specific options.
This method we are forced to use does not account for name collisions.

Create a transition plan for Reports via the API
Xero will be retiring the old reports on July 31. By retiring the old reports, you also retire the only place where subscribers can affect the layout of the Profit and Loss report retrieved via the API. However, to date, you offer no replacement and no transition plan to your subscribers or developers.
We use the Reports endpoint to retrieve data needed for our internal reporting. If not for the API, we'd be pulling and formatting seven reports to compile our monthly reporting. Today, if we add a new account or need to change the layout for the P&L retrieved…

Provide a start and end date for budgets in the "Get Budgets" operation
We are currently implementing a feature where we bring in divisional budgets.
The companies we import into our product have data for a specific date range and we wish to filter out budgets for selection that do not have a date range that overlaps with the rest of the company data.
Without the ability to do this our users will have to pick from any budget that is filtered by a tracking category option and if they choose one that doesn't overlap we will have to either
- not connect the invalid budget in the first place and provide feedback as…

include cost of sales on invoices
A customer of ours need to pull Invoices via the Xero API and are particularly interested in the COGS value of sales in order to calculate a Gross Profit value.
Unfortunately, that value does not appear in the Invoices endpoint.
I ran some tests where i posted a sale, then posted a purchase with items with a higher purchase price, then edit the sale and increase the quantity.
I then checked journals and i could see a reversal jounral for the COGS that used the old COGS value, and a reposting using the new COGS value.
This implies the data…

Send Remittance Advice via API
I would love to be able to send a remittance advice via API. There are a couple of scenarios where this is would be useful:
1. Monitoring the bank feed for reconciled payments and sending the Remittance ass appropriate
2. Generating a payment file from a list of invoices that are being paid and sending the remittance as appropriate3 votes -

budget upload to Xero API
It would be great to have an budget upload API.
I'm using G-Accon to push data in Xero, it would be great to be able to push budgets too.
Currently, Xero's budget manager is a bit rigid in its layout. However with G-Accon I could use a custom layout, or for example narrow down for a departmental budget, and then push to Xero.1 vote -

Reconciliation API
It is very important to add an API that would allow us to pull the reconciliation data in order to connect it to our customized platform where we can add more AI logic which will make reconciliation much faster and easier.
We can pull all bills and invoices, and it would be great if we can integrate the reconciliation of Xero in order. this way our developers can implement the logic that works for our business15 votes -
Make Webhook 'intent to recive' available at any time
The current webhook system will continue trying webhook requests with decreasing frequency. This is extremely annoying, if I wish to test recieving webhooks, but not leave the server running all the time during app development, I have to wait 15mins for it to validate once I restart the server. If I'm fixing bugs or accidentally introduce a bug, I have to wait 15 mins for xero to try sending the webhook request. Perhaps a limit on api requests to stop it being spammed and a button to send webhooks immediately or intent to recieve at any time so that it…

Sync 0.00 value invoices and credit notes from Stock&Buy to Xero
Sync 0.00 value invoices and credit notes from Stock&Buy to Xero
Some online orders will be synced to S&B with 0.00 value to ensure our stock are correct. We will add the sales invoices into Xero base on these orders fortnightly statement. These 0 value invoices can be synced to Xero, but the refunds can't. This will cause the inventory difference between S&B and Xero.
Thank you.

Enhance endpoints such as Invoices to allow filtering on LineItems sub fields
For performance purposes and to keep the amount of data in transit down, it would be good to enhance the Invoices and other endpoints to allowing filtering on LineItems.
For instanced, AccountCode, ItemCode or TrackingCategories.
This will allow devs to query a smaller subset rather than pull all invoices.

enable creation of invoices from accepted quotes via API
Once a quote has been ACCEPTED it would be very useful to then turn this into an Invoice via the API, as per the manual user task of pressing the "Create Invoice" in the Xero web portal.

Add batch support to the Assets API
CURRENTLY
The Assets API only allows POST requests of one Asset at a time.
ISSUE
If you need to create a lot of assets, that's a lot of POST requests.
SOLUTION
Support batch POST requests e.g. Payload = { Assets: [ ...assets ] }

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.

Have addresses from the Fishbowl API be sent to the individual invoice rather than overriding the address in the contact screen
Allow Xero to receive billing and shipping addresses directly as the billing and delivery address for an individual invoice rather then it being sent to the overall contact screen. This would allow for invoices to have different addresses on them for the same client depending on the order. If this worked correctly, we could then have that address tied to and saved to an individual invoice. Currently, we have to manually change the address on every single invoice as our clients have orders shipped all across the country and the world.
