  1. Supplier Item Code

    We have just changed from SAASU and I was very surprised (and disappointed) that there are no supplier item codes in XERO items.

    It is common practice that companies are not able to use the same item code as the supplier for their own purposes.

    We would have thought that this would be common practice with accounting systems.

  2. Extend Bank Transfer transactions API so that all fields available through Xero's UI are also supported through API

    Currently only 4 fields are supported through the API for Bank Transfers transactions – Amount, From Bank Account, To Bank Account & Date.

    It would be great if the remaining fields that are available via Xero's UI could also be supported in the API:
    API - namely:
    - From Account: Accounts Export Branch
    - To Account: Accounts Export Branch
    - Reference
    - 2 Amount fields (if From & To bank accounts are in different - currencies).

  3. Reports API - Account Transactions drill down

    • need API endpoints for this so that we can customise and show full summary of an account as otherwise the API is very2 not helpful for customisation. Thanks XERO for great job to date but this issue has a lot of requests in the forum.

  4. CreditNotes: Add GET filter by CreditNoteNumbers Similar to Invoices functionality

    Invoices has a filter of InvoiceNumbers. But this functionality is missing from Credit Notes even though Credit Notes are basically a negitive invoice. We need to be able to query for the status and existence of Credit Notes but keep hitting our API rate limit. We are using an WHERE OR statement but it's slow and we cannot check more than a few credit notes at a time.

  6. 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…

  8. 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.

  10. Add current assets register

    Similar to the fixed assets tool, we need a way of amortising prepaid things like yearly software subscriptions
    A system similar to the fixed assets register depreciation tool, a current assets register could automatically track and consume prepayments according to a defined schedule

    It is not listed in the reports available from the API

  15. 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>

  16. 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:

    1. Retained Earnings journals (this is instead calculated by a report)
    2. Unrealised FX journals (again calculated and shown only in the report)
    3. 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…

  17. 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.

  20. 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.
