  1. When reconciling bank entries with expense invoices, we encounter credit card charges that need to be recorded separately as “Adjustments.”

    At present, when using the Tab key during reconciliation, the cursor skips over essential fields such as Contact, Description, Account, Tax Rate, and Amount and moves directly to the Reconcile button. This limits efficiency and makes data entry cumbersome.

    Additionally, it would be beneficial if the amount field could auto-populate during reconciliation to reduce manual entry.

    We have also prepared a recorded screen capture that demonstrates this flaw in action, which can be shared to illustrate the issue more clearly. …

  2. The Batch Payments API returns a ReconciledStatementLineID, but there is no documented API endpoint that lets one retrieve that line.

  3. When a supplier payment appears on the bank feed before the corresponding purchase invoice has been entered into Xero, reconciling the payment can lead to double counting. Currently, if you record the payment as a spend money transaction and then later enter the invoice, Xero treats them separately. This causes extra work and creates reconciliation inaccuracies.

    Introduce a bank rule specifically for supplier overpayments. When the system detects a payment to a known supplier that exceeds the amount of an existing invoice or occurs before any invoice exists, the bank rule would:

    1. Post the transaction directly to the payables ledger…

  4. It would be useful when processing transfers, and when searching for specific transactions for corrections, if you could view say two different bank accounts side by side on the same tab.

  5. Many people want the bank reconciliation api feature but since Xero wont do that, here are 2 ideas for helping some people reconcile invoices

    1. Allow multiple search words in the search box
      We have clients who pay 50+ invoices all in one batch. They give us a statement in pdf and csv but we have no way to enter that into the xero search except for 1 at a time. Allow us to make a list of invoice ids as a comma separated string and copy paste that into the search box

    2. Next to the search box, add an upload…

  6. Right now it results in an opaque 500 error, which required me to reach to support.

    For example:
    ```
    POST https://api.xero.com/api.xro/2.0/BankTransactions/<transaction>/Attachments/kitten.png
    Accept: text/xml
    Content-Type: image/png
    Authorization: Bearer ...
    xero-tenant-id: <..>

    < /kitten.png
    ```

  7. Allow bank feed to be retrieved via Xero API. All I want to do is allow my staff to see what payments have been received in the last day so they can release equipment. Very basic. But I go through paying the subscription and setting up the whole thing just to find that obvious and needed option is not available?? If I try to setup an API with the NAB thats going to be a nightmare. Its all there in Xero - if we log in we can see it. So why not allow access with an API?

  8. Currently it's possible to add a 0 value transaction on a bank account using the web interface by clicking "New Transaction" selecting "spend money" then adding a positive sum to one account and a negative sum to another account.

    When attempting this with the API you get a validation error "The Total for this document must be greater than zero".

    This is a simple request to remove the additional validation on the API to allow this transaction to be added (like you can in the web interface).

    Something similar can be achieved with a manual journal, however these don't support…

  9. Instead of just the Boolean "IsReconciled" with GET Payments, please include the bank transaction id that could be used to join the payment with a bank transaction from GET BankTransactions.

  10. In many cases, people make mistakes. On my Xero application, it happens too. I want to enable people to delete the transactions made by mistake.

  11. Hi, eBay announced a new payment method called "eBay managed payment", not using PayPal anymore and basically eBay doing the same job with PayPal. Now, we need to define eBay as a new bank account and need to import transactions automatically.

  12. Suggestion: Allow the overriding of the TaxAmount within the BankTransaction Endpoint. This currently works through the UI but not the API.

    Issue: Importing a 'Spend' BankTransaction using the API with an adjusted TaxAmount results in a Validation Error:
    [Message] => Tax amount 936.09 is incorrect for INPUT2 tax type, should be 187.22

    Works: Using the UI
    Doesn't Work: Using the API

  13. It would be valuable to be able to obtain a status or timestamp of the last successful sync with the bank account. This way, we can inform customers if there is a problem with their bank or if their transactions or accounts are out of date.

  14. Currently, if I try and send a Bank Transfer through the APIs between 2 accounts with different currencies, I get an error response with the message:

    "Multi currency Bank Transfers are not currently supported"

    There is a field for the "CurrencyRate" in the documentation for GET, however, setting this for a PUT call, results in the same error message.

    It's possible to do this through the UI as a user, it should also be possible to do this through the APIs.

  18. It would be great if there were somewhere within each of the Bank Accounts where we could upload/scan and store Bank Statements within xero as auditors need to see these regardless of whether we say that the account is reconciled.

  19. The UI allows for a bank transaction line with a quantity but zero dollar unit amount and line amount. The API should allow the same function.

  20. Hello, I have a couple of ideas...
    1. Add Alphabetical SORT feature in Bank Rules
    2. Duplicate an existing Bank Rule, slightly modify and choose a different bank account to add it too.
    Thank you
    Warm regards
    Christel
