  3. Contact entity has a field to store Tax number type (EIN, SSN, ITIN and ATIN). This field is accessible via UI or in exported csv file, but not accessible via API, while "Tax Number" itself can be read using API.

  4. When an account has a zero balance and no transactions for the specified time period in the Bank Summary Report, it is excluded from the returned data.

    The request is to provide an optional parameter, 'includeZeroBalances' or the like, that includes these accounts and displays them in the report with zero balances.

  5. It would be useful for us (and I'm assuming others) if you were able to find out which edition (Starter, Standard etc) of Xero an organisation was configured as

  6. I would like an API which tells me the same information as I can see in the Sales by Item report, this would mean I can see how much I sell in a month, or selected dates, of a particular item.

    For example I have an item called hourly rate I would like to GET the total invoiced in the month for hourly rate

  8. The Schedule of Planned Payments shows a total of the bills in £ Sterling. However we pay some bills in Euros, the total needs to show in Euros for those invoices.

  9. When you create a bank transfer, two bank transactions are created one on each bank account. There is no way to edit or reconcile the bank transactions that are created via the API. I would like the ability to do that.

  10. I understand that you are using the Microsoft .NET JSON date format internally but would it be possible for you to return a more agnostic version of the date in a seperate field e.g. UpdatedDateUTCAlt?

  11. Add support for the inventory adjustments in the API.

    Currently you can effectively perform inventory adjustments via the API using invoices. See the tracked inventory guide for more info: http://developer.xero.com/documentation/api-guides/tracked-inventory-in-xero/

    This request is to expose the specific inventory functionality in Xero via the API.

  12. We have electronic invoicing in Costa Rica and a legal requirement involves creating a xml file and sending it to the customer. It would be great if we could upload this xml file as xml rather than a txt to the actual invoice as reference in case the user wants to send the invoice with the xml included to their customer.

  14. Currently the URL elements of various Xero resources appear to reject URLs that do not fit the http or https scheme. It would be very helpful if this barrier was removed.

    Both OS X and iOS are seeing an explosion of applications that implement custom URL schemes as a way to hook or callback. https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/iPhone/Conceptual/iPhoneOSProgrammingGuide/Inter-AppCommunication/Inter-AppCommunication.html

    My personal use case is a custom built warehouse management system. Our established application is hosted on premises, with client runtimes on OS X and iOS. We're integrating as a private app to Xero and will be pushing in contacts, payables and sales. All of…

  15. I'm new to the concept of connected companies, despite having about a dozen related companies all on Xero for several years. Until now, we've manually captured the invoices that get raised between the companies.

    Is there not a dashboard tool of some sort that could get added, so show the balance owing in one company vs the balance receivable in another, thus allowing easy confirmation that the balances reconcile and that all transactions have been considered by both parties?

  16. You have recently completed "fix the Profit and Loss report via the API to support periods and timeframe", but not for Balance Sheet.

    This means can't do weekly cashflow reporting as balance sheet items are end of the month only which defeats the purpose of the P&L fix as need to balance this across to the balance sheet.

    Should be able to do as at any date.

    BUT can do this report via the Xero Reports in Xero. Needs to be consistent.

  17. Why are Xero reports so frustrating??? Is it just me?
    Another one that has wasted extreme amounts of time, the vat audit report.
    Why is it spread over a ridiculous area so you have to view it in wide view to see any useful information. What is the point? It fits it on a normal view then expands itself and you lose half the useful information?

    Then you have to randomly click all the blue underlined options to find the ONE that drills down to the detail. You check what you need to - ie why the hell there are…

  19. 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

  20. When you drill down to the transactions within a particular account in the Chart of Accounts it would be handy to be able to specify a date range so you see the transactions within that date range only.
