allow the BrandingTheme to default to the Contact Default when an invoice is created in the API
If I set a default Branding Theme for a Contact in Xero, that selection is not honoured when I create an invoice in the API and don't include a BrandingThemeID

Ability to change ExpectedPaymentDate on invoice within lock period
The web UI allows us to change the expected date on an AUTHORISED invoice that is issued before the period lock date. The API however does not allow this, and fails with warning about editing invoice in lock period.
Contacting Xero support, I got this message: "With the web interface, there is a script that limit fields that can or cannot edited when lock date is used. Unfortunately the API does not have that ability so currently it is all or nothing. So to edit the invoice, the lock date has to be removed first. We don't have any immediate…

Relation between Invoice and Repeating Invoice
Be able to differentiate invoices created due to repeating invoices and stand alone invoices.
I checked out the elements of Invoice (https://developer.xero.com/documentation/api/invoices).
I was not able to find a element which gives me this relation.I think , A new element having the 'Repeating Invoice Id' data would help me. Can this be included ?

Add page size/limit to paging GET requests
It would be useful to be able to specify the page size when executing paging requests for the various API GET resources. Currently, the page size is 100, but can't be changed. The issue is that 100 records can still be a long callout if that includes related information.
Being able to do something like:
/Invoices?page=1&pageSize=50Or similar would be handy!
13 votesHey Guys
The default page size is 100, with a maximum of 1000 and a minimum of 1. If users set a value outside the supported range, we automatically adjust it to the nearest supported page size.

Allow reverting allocations for Credit Notes and Overpayments via API
This functionality is missing from API and available only via front end. We have almost finished implementation of Store Credits via Credit Notes and Overpayments, but luck of this functionality makes entire sync process very cumbersome.
141 votesAllocations can now be deleted for Credit Notes, Overpayments and Prepayments. See the API Reference for more details:

Allow Batch Deposits through the API
I would like to create batch deposits though the API. These show up as Payments:multiple in the account transactions. Currently the API even strips out BankTransactions when you try to view one of these via the BankTransactionID.
18 votesSorry for the late update here, but happy to announce that batch payment and deposit API functionality was released last year.

update tracking category for PAID invoice via api
Since the operator has the ability to update any PAID invoice's tracking category and account code for any line items, then it should be also doable via API.

Hi everyone,
The functionality to send sales invoices via email is now open to all apps.
Check out the docs here: https://developer.xero.com/documentation/api/invoices#email
There’s more functionality we could add around emailing but I’m going to close this request. Please feel free to create new specific requests for any additional email functionality you’d like to see going forward.
Cheers,

let us "Include attached files with online invoice" via API
We can now upload and associate files with invoices via the API. Woohoo!
For the next step we need to actually let Xero know to include those associated files with the invoice. In the core app this is done by clicking on the file icon, then clicking on each file's settings then clicking on "Include with invoice".
We have to do this over 200 times a month manually for every invoicing run. It would be nice to do it with the API instead :-)

allow Invoices to show line items
Currently you can only retrieve line items by specifying a single invoice. Please make the functionality similar to the journals and allow the data to be paged using an offset of some sort.
22 votesOur most recent release provides the ability to specify an optional paging parameter – this in turn allows you to retrieve line items in bulk: http://developer.xero.com/documentation/api/invoices/#title10

Expose the Online invoicing URL via the Xero API
Xero has recently released online invoicing functionality within the main application (http://help.xero.com/#OnlineInvoices).
Be able to retrieve the online invoicing URL via the Xero API.
Note that this URL is only generated when the invoice is emailed within the Xero application. Exposing this field will be of limited value until further work is done to be able to email an invoice from Xero via the API (but that is a separate issue).
182 votesHi everyone,
It’s been a long time coming but it’s finally here, the online invoice url is now available via the API!

enable sending multiple invoices to the same address as one message
I haven't been able to find a way in which I can send multiple invoices to the same contact as one email message rather than individually. I wouldn't imagine this would be difficult to do and am surprised I have not been able to find a way to do this.
This would be useful when there is a quantity of invoices to go out at the same time. Currently I have fear of overcrowding the customers inbox.

Apply discounts to line items
The main Xero application now allows the application of a discount on a line item. While discounts on line items can be retrieved via the API (GET) it is not possible to create a discount via the API (PUT/POST). Add your votes here if this is something you would like to see.
131 votesAdding line item discounts on ACCREC / sales invoices is now supported. See release notes – http://developer.xero.com/documentation/api/v2-release-notes/#2.32

Enable an Attachment for Accounts Receivable (invoices to be sent)
Attachments (one actually) are permitted for Receipts and Accounts Payable. They would also be very useful for Accounts Receivable (invoices to be sent to customers).
Common attachments to be emailed with the Invoice are timesheets, quotes, and copies of acceptance certificates.
Attachments help getting the customer to approve an invoice, in turn helping to get the cash back faster.

API Overpayments & Prepayments
See the latest comments on this below
95 votesThe API now supports the retrieval and allocation of prepayments and overpayments using the new Prepayments and Overpayments endpoints.
http://developer.xero.com/documentation/api/v2-release-notes/#2.91
Refunds of Prepayments and Overpayments can be created via the Payments endpoint.
Creation of prepayments and overpayments is still done via the BankTransactions endpoint.

Be able to page results
It would be good if you could page through a results set.
Use Case:
I want to be able to return the latest 5 approved invoices.
Given that I don't know when they were created I can't use a filter on any of the date fields and it would be a waste of bandwidth to get all approved invoices a simple pagination system would work well.

Accept fractions of a cent in UnitAmount
The majority of our invoices are for many hundred thousands of units, each of which cost something like USD$0.00015.
The API currently rounds this LineAmount to 0.00 then complains that my total doesn't equal the sum of the lines.
23 votesWhoops, apologies folks – we have released a feature that supports 4 decimal places on UnitAmounts:
