Reconcile individual payments (NOT Bank Statement)
We receive payments from online services (stripe and paypal) and programmatically add an invoice as well as a payment for the invoice and the fee from the charge.
When the bank charge comes from the bank we go in and manually match them with the payments. With PayPal this is easy because they come in and match 1:1 with the payments and fees. With stripe it's not so easy becaue our daily payout contains dozens of fees and charges.
We would like to programmatically match these. Note that this is NOT the same as reconciling a bank statement, I think…

Expose Additional Contacts - First Name, Last Name, Email address
Can we please have the ability to view all additional contacts, first name, last name and email address, if we use the GET request to pull ALL contacts.
At the moment this is only viewable, by looking up individual contacts which can quickly use up API calls which I need for the other applications of my web app.

Batch payment API by InvoiceNumber instead of InvoiceID
Thanks for the current batch payment API. it works with InvoiceID.
Can you please update this API by allowing to use the InvoiceNumber instead of InvoiceID.
The InvoiceNumber is much more user-friendly and actually used by accountants instead of the long ID, that needs an extra lookup.
Can you please let us know when can you update it?
For example:
<Payments>
<Payment>
<Invoice><InvoiceNumber>ORC1039</InvoiceNumber>
</Invoice>
<Reference>ggg</Reference>
<Amount>10.00</Amount>
</Payment>1 vote -
Email stopped coming in Organisation Payload and broke my Integration
This is not a suggestion is a petition.
The payload of the organisation used to bring the email set up in the organisation itself, until 1 week ago that broke my integration,
My integration serves invoices to the Costa Rican Government IRS and is broken at the moment, had to set up a default/dummy email on the part of the invoice that says who emits the Invoice and there will be issues with people not accepting Invoices due to the default email.The customers of my customer will get their Invoices not accepted and those are >10k Invoices.
My customer…

Retained Earnings / unrealised FX (system account) journals
Xero has 'system' accounts where journals are not posted, but values are calculated by reports. Therefore when pulling the journals from Xero, we can not accruately recreate the balance sheet and P&L (as vital journals are missing). Therefore in this respect the Xero API is incomplete.
Specific examples of the Journals API misses:
- Retained Earnings journals (this is instead calculated by a report)
- Unrealised FX journals (again calculated and shown only in the report)
- May also be the case for other system accounts.
The calculations made by the reports could be made available via the API to provide a complete…

Migrate the Pay Run API from Payrolls
With the Payrolls functionality being deprecated, the Pay Run https://developer.xero.com/documentation/payroll-api-us/pay-runs API will also be deprecated. By our understanding, this functionality, will still be available via the web UI ("Business > Pay Run"). Maintaining this subset of functionality after the overall Payroll deprecation would be useful for tools such as importers of 3rd Party payroll details.

Xero datya for regulatory reporting
We use Xero as our main accounting system. Every month we have to produce a number of reports for the regulator. In order to do this, we need access to the account balances, debits and credits as they need to be aggregated and for various calculations such as yield and cost of funds. None of the API's provide this information and we have resort manually download various reports in excel format and then use these as input to our process.
Adding the debits and credits to the Accounts API would be perfect and allow us to automate our processes.

API Health Check
With Microservices now being all the rage, applications consuming Xero APIs need to be able to deal with their availability/non-availability. A "health-check" similar to the Java Microprofile Health service (see https://github.com/eclipse/microprofile-health) would support to enabling/disablng functionality related to Xero APIs based on the result these "health-checks". As a result user interfaces could enable or suppress functionality that requires the use of Xero APIs depending on these health-checks.
