create a new report for suppliers customers
We need a report which can show all activity in suppliers/customers ledger by date ie invoice date, description, payment date. I cannot see anywhere a report like that which would be very useful.

Be able to specify the company required at login
We are operating with multiple companies within a single Xero account. It would be more secure if we could pre-select a company rather than leaving it to the user to select one after they have logged on.
In PHP we call
$XeroOAuth->request('GET', $XeroOAuth->url('RequestToken', ''), $params);i.e. Can we include the company in the $params?

integrate batch payment export into a banks payment system
I believe it is possible to export a batch payment file for subsequent import into your internet banking solution. It would create efficiencies to build outward direct bank feeds to set up payments on Bills. Then make it available via the API to set due/ payment dates and create payment batches.

cater for invoices to be drafted/prepared off-line
I normally work in areas where mobile/cell signals a poor. I therefore have to keep a separate Timesheet and invoice when I am back in the office. I find this incredibly irritating, because invoices done later always take a lot longer. My own accounting system based on spreadsheets did not have this restriction. Xero may in the long run save my bookkeeper some time, but for me, the person at the coal face, it is quite a lot less efficient because of this inability to do invoices on customer sites.

Approved Invoices:: Should have the facility to "Revert it back to draft"
Once an invoice is approved, it should have the facility to "revert it back to draft"
It is because of the reason that mostly, my client ask me to approve the invoice and then says that it's not yet approved and then i don't have the facility, ultimately it is showing in our accounts that an overdue invoice is available, which is actually not yet approved.
Xero should facilitate us in such a way.
Thanks

entering numerous invoices from order numbers
When entering numerous invoices it would be great if we could search a purchase order, mark that as billed, then go straight to another search instead of having to go through 3 steps to be able to search for another purchase order number again

have an option to hide transactions that already have receipts attached, or have an icon showing which transactions have receipts attached
On the mobile app, please have an icon appear next to transactions that already have a receipt (or picture of) attached to it, which would make it much easier to find transactions that need receipts.
There could also be an option to hide transactions that have already been tagged with a receipt.
I have seen both features on other receipt tracking apps, such as Chase.
Thank you!1 vote -

Fix the Contact creation API to fail when PUT-ing a duplicate contact that has been archived
Currently (Jan 2016, API 2.0) using the API to PUT a new contact fails when its email is in use by an existing contact - as would be expected.
However, if the contact that has the duplicate is archived, the PUT will SUCCEED, returning a new contact ID and everything. However, the new contact will not actually be added. This can be done repeatedly, each time "generating" a new contact ID.
Given this, there is no way to ensure that a given contact has been added via the API before attempting to, for example, create a new Invoice via the…

expose organization details via API
A application that I am working with needs organizational details after connecting to xero, Most of the info we need is available, but several fields exist in the Organization that are not yet exposed via API
Can we get APIs exposed for Description and Email Address?
Also, logo might be nice too if possible.

Be able to extract via API bank balances in Base Currency or in Foreign Currency of Bank Account
Currently API can only get bank balances in Base Currency from Reports -> Bank Summary. This means it is all converted into the Base currency by XE.COM. There is no way to convert this back into the original currency, XE.COM rates are not available vis the API. There should be a way of getting the bank balance in the origin al currency.

reminder
Optimise the collection process by having an automatic 'reminder' date (day/week) or a manual action to remind you to follow up outstanding account for payment. A calendar format to set action / follow update. Perhaps integrate with MS Outlook to include email attachments for follow up action.

Search Feature
When searching sales or purchase invoices would it be possible to have a drop down box to select if All, Awaiting Payment, Paid etc instead of being in the tab first before selecting search.
I dont know how many times I have entered the search item only to find I am in the wrong tab and have to reenter details in the correct tab very frustrating ... but still forget next time I search
Would be much easier to select this option after search detail is made

Custom IDs
Add a custom ID for all Objects on Xero.
We're building a system to manage and sync data across multiple platforms, and we're having many issues keep data in sync with bulk inserts and writing back to our own IDs. For example when bulk inserting payments we cannot match them to the payments on the system as there is no unique number we can pass through and no other field is reliable. Due to the API rate limits we're forced to use Bulk inserts so we cannot update on an individual basis.
