  1. Be able to Allocate CreditNotes while creation

    Right now, the only way to allocate a CreditNote to an Invoice is via a single API call to <url>/CreditNoteID/Allocations
    This severely limits the capability to have multiple allocations (exclusive) done at the same time. It would be wonderful to allocate CreditNotes to Invoices while their creation.

  2. Add more objects to Zapier

    You've already created an app on Zapier, well done. But the app is very limited (Invoices, etc). Please add more object types. If most of your object types were there, we could integrate much easier with Xero. And Xero's technical cred would increase dramatically if the ease of moving Journals, Payments, etc were simply creating new Zaps.

  4. Add total discount on invoice

    My client need to add total discount on entire invoice rather than giving discount on each item.
    This would be great if we have such option.
    Thanks

  6. fix bug - universal search for numbers ending in "00" eg "2300"

    when using the universal search, the search never finds invoices or bills ending in 00. For example search for invopice number "2300" this will return zero results. If the search is conducted from within the Sales search the invoice can be found.

    This issue also relates to Purchase orders and bills ending in 00

  8. Make the journal narration visible to the API

    Would like to be able to access the journal narration through the API. Currently you can just access the line item reference but this requires too much coding effort by our bookkeeper and as such most reference lines are blank. However, every journal/transaction has a narration so would be great to access this.

  9. Add Delivery Address and Instruction to the Company API Endpoint

    Company Address that is selected during PO creation in Xero contains Phone number and Instructions. These parameters are not returned when we are pulling Company with addresses via API.

    We'd appreciate id this could be fixed.

  11. Add a Quantity column in the inventory watch list on the Dashboard

    Currently on the Dashboard you cannot see the quantity on hand. It would be easier for tracked items on the Dashboard to have a quantity column, so that it's easier for smaller firms to keep track and be able to place orders efficiently.

  12. reminders

    Include as part of the Invoice api, a reminders node listing the date/s reminders have been sent, rather than expanding the separate InvoiceReminders request.

  13. add the "Source" field to your "Bank Transactions" endpoint

    It would be useful to see the Source of a bank transaction to tell if it was user generated, csv upload or from a bank feed. Currently it seems you can only access this via the Bank Statement Report.

  14. include an API for retrieving updated inventory only

    Our developers are connecting to the Xero API to pull product quantities. Our orders from our websites, decrements the tracked inventory in Xero. We only want to update our website with products which have been updated in a 24 hour period.

    An API code which checks if an inventory item has been updated recently would be a great feature. This would assist online merchants who have thousands of products grab only relevant updates and avoids the limitations of Xero API calls.

  15. Overpayment where filter doesn't seem to work

    I am trying to query overpayments by GUID with 'Where' filter and it doesn't seem to work.

    Where=OverpaymentID==GUID("d32...b4") -> does not return any
    Where=Status=="AUTHORISED" -> returns rows as expected
    .../Overpayments/d32...b4 -> returns as expected

    Is this a bug or I am doing something wrong?

  16. Return RepeatingInvoiceID with Invoice GET

    The Xero website notifies you when you are viewing an Invoice that was created by a RepeatingInvoice. There doesn't appear to be a way to get that information from the API.

  20. report

    I would like the Receivable Invoice Detail report exposed to the API, if possible. Right now I have to generate the report (with some custom settings) and export it in order to copy over sales data on specific SKUs to our custom system so we can do some analysis on those items. This is all a manual process, and it would be so much nicer to be able to automate it to run as a daily task that uses the API. Thanks for your help!
