Send Purchase Order Email to Suppliers via API

Xero Projects API - bill line items
Note - you need a projects API section now it has been released.
To enable full use of OCR apps with Projects there needs to be the ability to post bill line items to projects as expenses. Without this functionality any business that wants to automate their billing and approval process cannot use Xero projects (without manual intervention in Xero).
As an exmaple - I currently have a client looking to do this with 50 active staff. This would be £250pm or £3,000pa potential Xero fees lost as they would use a different app that does both.

Quotes with lineAmountTypes=inclusive returning wrong unitAmount
Unlike invoices, if lineAmountTypes='INCLUSIVE', quotes return the items with unitAmount having the tax deducted.
Example (invoice):
1. Invoice created with lineAmountTypes=Inclusive with 1 item with unitAmount=100, quantity=1.
2. GET invoice returns the invoice with the item. unitAmount field is correctly showing 100Example (quote):
1. A Quote is created with lineAmountTypes=INCLUSIVE with 1 item of unitAmount=100, quantity=1.
2. GET quote returns the quote with the item's unitAmount=86.96 (86.96+15% GST = 100) which is wrong.1 vote -

Line Items in Xero should be populate with default values of Item Inventory
When a line item is added to Xero invoice - it currently do not created with default values. It doesn't make sense to not default to Item Inventory defined in Xero.
If this is a breaking change and break for other customer then a new field which will let us populate line items using default values.
If not, we will need to sync Item inventory in our end before creating any invoices via API.

Assign Linked Transactions to Projects via the API
Using Projects would be a great solution for my company, but without the ability to assign billable expenses to Projects via the API, they are not useful to us.

Allow Paging for Journals GET
Please consider adding Paging for the Journals GET.
Journals represent a considerable size of data when extracting for e.g. a full financial year.
Alternative solution could be filtering options.
It would be beneficial to be able to either FILTER for a range of data or PAGE the data (for timely returns from the web service).The modified-since and offset options only allow for smaller, recent datasets, not for smaller ranges of data from for e.g. the previous year.
Eg.

Display the AR/AP contact balance in API in both base currency and contact currency
Currently the API only displays the contact balance in base currency and NOT the contact default currency.
This makes it extremely difficult to confirm synchronisation drift between our systems through the current balance.
Please include two currencies in the AR/AP contact balance object.

Auto invoice number and references
If you leave the reference field blank on an ACCPAY invoice then the invoice number is automatically generated using the defaults INV-00381 etc. But if you give a reference 'August 2020 travel charges' and leave the invoice number blank then the API copies the reference and makes the invoice number 'August 2020 travel charges'. I want auto-generated invoice numbers but to be able to give an independent reference.

Download PDF and Online URL for Overpayments through API
Our customers pay money in advance for us to hold and later use to pay for different services.
Their reason is they have a budget allocation at the beginning of every month which they later use for a varied services with us.
We can only keep the money as Overpayments as this has no tax impact.
Customers need however a receipt in advance, to use before their finance department to actually make the payment.
We need this functionality in the API to avoid messy manual work in parallel to Xero.0 votes -
SIE file report/export
SIE is a universal data format to exchange accounting information between different systems.
Our auditor prefer having a SIE4 file, which he would import into his own system, to do the final revision and making necessary documentation for the government. W/o this file he has to tap in the data manually, which takes more time and cost us more money.
We would like to add the SIE file format as an alternative for export.
For mor information

Please update your Reporting APIs w/ an option to get V2 [new] Balance Sheet and Profit & Loss including the default custom layout.
It is extremely frustrating that the report that comes from the API often in no way resembles the report that the Xero end-user actually uses via the UI, to the point that they don't even recognize it. They invested a lot of time making a custom layout with groups, rules, etc and the result is a pretty fantastic presentation of their financials, but all that work just gets thrown out when a 3rd party application collects the…

add the ability to trigger email of creditnotes to customers.
We can trigger emailing invoices from XERO to the customers email address, using the /email end point on the INVOICES api. We urgently require the same functionality for credit notes and we do not understand why this feature was not extended from invoices to credit notes. Urgently required for customer integration project.
