  1. Allowing the Customer Invoice Report to have an Account Number Field as more and more accountants use customer numbers rather than the customer name.

  4. A notes panel on the dashboard would be great so other people in your organisation can see what the procedures are with that client.
    there is a place to put notes in Practice Manager.

  5. When a contact is created in Xero it is not until after an invoice has been created that it gets converted to a customer (or supplier). Which is expected.

    However when the "If-Modified-Since" filter is used on the GET Contacts endpoint where the "If-Modified-Since" date is after the contact is created but before the conatct as made into a supplier (i.e. after the isCustomer or isSuppler flag flips from false to true in the body of the Contact response) then the contact is not returned in the response.

    I sugget a change that when a contact is converted to a…

  7. When paying a Bill in Xero you can check a box "Pay by Check". This will add a new "check" to the list of checks and the user can print these checks and mail them.

    Would be helpful to allow this via the Payment API endpoint

  9. I assign a purchase to a customer. I then go to invoices and add that purchase. at the end of the month my boss goes through the draft invoices and deletes some assigned purchases off the invoices. The deleted purchase stay under that customer which becomes annoying. right now I have to go to the purchase, edit it and unassign it. seems like a long process.
    from the dropbox above the description box in the invoice I would like to be able to have a choice to unassign customer, so that purchase no longer shows.

  10. On XERO online portal, when we add a payment we can send a receipt to customers email. Similar way can we have this feature via api. Either by posting receipt on payment acceptance or download receipt pdf of payment. This is something must have feature.

  11. Each business is different and requires different information and fields. = it would be great to be able to customise or add fields.

    currently you can from the purchases to assign expense to customer - Give a Reverse for this option and put this to a sale screen and assign expenses - This would help eliminate double entry as we enter sales before purchases.

    Let us customize to suit our businesses!!

  13. Add "Assign purchases" field to the bottom of sales /invoicing screen - this option is available in purchases but not sales.
    We assign expenses to customers while invoicing - If we have multiple trades it would make life easier if at the bottom of the sales invoice scsreen i could assign billable expenses here.

  17. Currently only way to add a Branding Theme to an invoice via API is by specifying the BrandingThemeID parameter.
    This is rather impractical as BrandingThemeID has to be unique across all of Xero, so if you hardcode the ID for your real Xero organization, when you go to try something with your demo organization, this will fail as ID is not the same, even if the name is.

    On the other had Xero already forces you to have unique names for your branding themes, but these are supposedly only unique within your organization, so you could have a Branding Theme…

  19. It would be terrific to be able to download information about PayRoll payments, either in the ABA format or some other form.

    It appears all the information is inside Xero somewhere, it is just not exposed.

    For example, Company A has two employees Jen and Joe.

    Jen earns $12,000 in one payrun with $2,000 going to one bank account and $10,000 going to the second.

    Joe earns $7,000 in one payrun going to a single bank account.

    The total is $19,000.

    It would be good to be able to get this information out of Xero via an API

  20. Be able to filter by fields inside an object which has lists. Such as Invoice's Line Items.
    These fields contain important information such as tracking category, amounts, totals which would be a good functionality if one is able to filter using these information so to create more detailed reports
