  1. Tracking Summary Report with Account Groups and Tracking Categories

    Xero is awesome for Financial data management and manipulations. Its API providing the extra strength to Xero for integrating Xero with other webapps. Of course Most of the APIs are in still Xero Development Phase, But we need an extensive API for getting the reports(at minimum Tracking Summary Report) to make the use of tracking summary data inside webapps.

  2. Update Journal API to support filtering based on the Date field OR a general where clause

    Currently, you can' t get Journals based on posting date (the Date field in Journal). It should be supported as it is more relevant than the if-modified-since filter. In general, the Journal API should support the where clause.

  3. Implement support for the reference field in the new Overpayment and Prepayment Endpoints

    The addition of Overpayment and Prepayment endpoints, for us is still not functional with the addition of the reference field in these. Without this there is no robust way to save a prepayment at one point in time, then be able to look this prepayment up later to be used for allocation purposes.

    Same problem for Overpayments.

    Hope this can be added very soon as we are looking forward to the XERO api having proper Prepayment support.

  5. Replace / Fix inaccurate text when non-Admin user attempts to connect via API

    This idea will take about 15 minutes to implement, so I hope it is looked at soon.

    When a non-Admin user attempts to connect a Partner App to Xero via the API, they are given an inaccurate message. The message reads

    "You don't have a Xero Organisation yet."

    This is inaccurate, as they often do have a Xero Organisation but are not an Admin. This leads to wasted time, support calls, irritated users, and unhappy partners.

    Please replace that above message with something like

    "You are not an Administrator of any Xero Organisations yet."

  7. Be Able To Get Customer Credit Rating Through The API

    Given that credit ratings can now be shown for customers in the main application I would like to suggest that the credit rating, even as a number or as a descriptor (matching the rating gauge in the main interface, be made available through the API in the contact payload data so that when viewing customer data through the API the credit rating can be seen as well.

  9. Get Journals by Account Type

    I need to get all those Journals which involves a Bank account. (i.e. one of its JournalLines has an account of type Bank).

    Note that If I get all journals using Journal API, it is very time consuming. I hope to use the Journal API in such a way so that it only returns those Journal which involve a bank.

  12. Include statementLineID in Bank Statement report

    In lieu of a Bank Statement endpoint, including the statementLineID in Bank Statement report would be really helpful

    We present a view of the Xero bank statement and show the bank account balance in some of our reports. It's difficult to reliably keep the bank statement in sync without some kind of unique ID on the statement line.

  14. Support BankTransaction.reference on GET request

    According to BankTransaction documentation found at https://developer.xero.com/documentation/api/banktransactions
    Reference is currently supported on Receive and Spend transactions.


    Reference Reference for the transaction. Only supported for SPEND and RECEIVE transactions.

    Is there a reason why this is not supported?

    When I create a BankTransaction through either Xero UI or API, reference is stored and shown on UI; however, it is not available through BankTransaction API.

  16. 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.

  17. 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.

  18. 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

  20. 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
