  1. Either expose the time start in project time entries or expose project reports.

    This is extremely important when trying to calculate overtime and also to review timings when doing payroll.

    I actually cannot believe it is not already exposed.

  2. We need to be able to fetch bulk, paginated History and Notes via the API. Now it only has the ability to fetch records for single invoice. It will be great if we are performing one time ETL and we are getting the time out 429 status in error and rate limiting issue.

  3. Working for an organization currently migrating from MYOB to Xero - their decision.

    Replicating existing custom application is problematic due to apparent glaring deficiencies in the Xero API compared to MYOB, despite Xero's age advantage.

    An example is MYOB's Account Activity Summary End-Point - called AccountRegister - which lists activity by account by month.

    This end-point allows for a fast and simple process to compare Budget values to Actual values, without being forced to trawl through all the transactions, and all of the issues that can cause that to be incorrect.

    It seems inconceivable that such a basic end-point is…

  4. The data pulled from Brex in the reconciliation dashboard is not sufficient to reconcile Departments & Locations. Can you add these fields in your API so they are pulled from Brex and included in the Description field? The description field currently lists the vendor again (which is redundant) but it does not list other important fields, such as comments, departments or locations. Can you add these fields in your API interface/pull

  5. So we collect a lot of prepayments in our work, and those require a customized branding theme to act as a receipt as they are unlike the regular invoice payments.

    Hopefully in future, there will be a way to apply a branding theme to a specific PrepaymentID via the API too.

    Thanks!

  6. I'd like to build an automation to enter various comments (of my choosing) in the discuss tab in Xero depending upon what the AI finds in the transaction. The current APIs don't allow for comments to be entered in the discuss tab in Xero.

  7. The provision is to save the invoice as a "Bill to Pay" and associate the invoice reference(Custom If Possible) with the bill to pay, including the PDF of the linked invoice via API.

  8. With the introduction of the MANDATORY OPTIMISED FILTERS, some Xero customers that raise many ManualJournals can no longer access them via the API because the DATE field is not included as an optimised filter.

    It's imperitive to be able to filter all transactions by date.

    As such, all endpoints should have DATE field optimised.

    This ensures we can do things like the follow snippet to pull a single month of data without it putting strain on the xero servers.

    ?where=(date >= DateTime(2025,02,01) and Date <= DateTime(2025,02,28))&page=1

  9. I’m currently working with the Quotes endpoint (https://api.xero.com/api.xro/2.0/Quotes) and need to retrieve multiple quotes by their QuoteNumber.
    Could you confirm if there is a way to fetch multiple quotes in a single request filtered by QuoteNumber?
    Alternatively, would it be possible to support the where filter with OR conditions for multiple QuoteNumber values in future updates?

  10. Hi,

    I saw that there is a way to get an online invoice url via the api. (ref: https://developer.xero.com/documentation/api/accounting/invoices#retrieving-the-online-invoice-url)

    We hope to have the same way to easily get a shareable Prepayment URL via API for customers to view as well.

  11. Once invoice is paid, invoice line item tracking category may be updated in Xero system, but can't make it work via API. I keep getting "This document cannot be edited as it has a payment or credit note allocated to it." error instead.

  13. Currently, we can enter employee cost rate data into Xero, but this data is not available back to us through the API. This limits our company's ability to accurately track project profitability, especially through more sophisticated solutions using BI tools outside of Xero. A simple solution would be to expose this data through the Projects endpoint (User table) or another Xero API endpoint (Accounting?). Such a limitation has sparked recent conversation in our LT to migrate away from Xero as our company grows > 50 employees. Without this data available in the API, messy workarounds are implemented externally.

  14. The Xero API supports creating and getting Bank Transfers through the API

    It would be nice to have the ability to update and delete Bank Transfers through the API

  15. I wanted to inquire if there are any plans or possibilities to expose APIs for wip and staff capacities in XPM. Such an API could be incredibly valuable for integrating with our internal tools and streamlining workflows.

  18. We should be able to update certain fields on an ACCPAY invoice via the API even after the bill is paid. This is in line with the Xero UI. In the Xero UI we can edit the Due Date and Reference still after payment but we can't edit anything via the API. These should match and we should be able to edit the reference (InvoiceNumber) and URL as they do not affect the payment or anything financial on the bill.

    For reference the only reason I'm needing to update these fields is because custom metadata can't be applied to invoices…

  20. We use Breadwinner to sync Xero to Salesforce. In Xero for an individual invoice we can see the History and Notes. We want to surface that data within the Invoice record in Salesforce.
