  2. API: Ability for a negative Invoice amount

    We are use the API (through an addon) to automagically sync Xero and our Admin solution, but we've just found out that a credit invoice (yes, a negative number in this case) can't be pushed to Xero because of lack of support for that in the API.

    A credit invoice can be a negative invoice and this should be handled as such.

    Please advice how this can be done or if it's missing in the API, as it seems to be, please add this asap.

  3. page numbers

    Have the page numbers and "jump to page" option at the top as well as the bottom.
    So you don't have to scroll to the bottom on each new page.

  7. allow ItemID to be specified when adding line items

    It seems to be possible to supply the ItemCode but not the ItemID. I guess the ID is unique for each item? It would be really great in my opinion if the API could be consistent and the ID field was always used to specify a join whenever you are creating or updating anything.

    Consider the following use case:

    A web app with integrations to xero to do all of the invoicing, and inventory price management. Contacts (users), orders (invoices) and products (items) are stored in the app, but also created in xero. The app then stores the xero id…

  8. Enter budgets via the API. Both historical and current.

    This would allow us to build tools to do bulk budget exports for multiple periods from our current system. (I think that budgets import might be coming through the user interface anyway, in which case this isn't really needed).

  9. Show payments in the Contacts suppliers

    I would love to see the payments made against a supplier in the contacts.
    ie: date of payment and amount. Then be able to drill down and see what invoices were paid. As it is you can see invoices and that they have been paid but not dates of payment or amount paid unless you drill down into invoice and then drill into payment.

  10. to have a 'Bank' field made available in manual journal....!

    I am looking at entering transactions of 2013. (So i have no intention in creating invoices for the sales happened that time, rather just enter the sales amount)

    When there is a SALE in showroom through credit card, the money go to the credit card company and after deducting their charges they will credit our bank with the balance amount.
    For eg: if the sale is 1000, they will credit our bank with 977, meaning their charges is 23.
    The entry would be:
    Dr. Bank 977
    Dr. Credit Card company 23
    Cr. Sales 1000

    I would like to make this…

  11. allow more flexibility for positioning of logos on invoicing template as currently you cannot centralise.

    Traditional UK Invoices for small businesses would not look like the ones you can currently produce from your template. There is very little flexibility as to where the logo can be positioned and it does not allow other elements to balance. I do not have the expertise or ability to get someone elese to create a new docx template.

  12. Make Receipt updatable via API

    The documentation says:

    PUT Receipts
    The PUT method is similar to the POST Invoices method, however you can only create new receipts with this method.

    It would be great if I was able to update receipts with the PUT method.

  14. Be able to retrieve & e-mail statements to receivable accounts via the API

    E-mailing updates to receivable accounts about their payments via the API would be very useful. Via the web interface, this is possible by sending a statement. API request is to be able to retrieve a statement report and email it via the API

  17. Generate reports by using specific identifiers in the "reference field"

    As a building business it would be nice to ascertain the costs of a specific build/client to ensure the company is on track with profit/loss per project.

    When I started out in Xero, and when all purchases were been entered in as drafts, when a certain reference was entered, such as the client name or job number, a running total was always displayed as to how much was spent on a particular build/client.

    Ironically once the purchases were approved and/or paid, upon typing the same specific reference, would no longer provide a tally or what was spent, to be paid…

  18. The ability to approve purchase orders, invoices and bills using the Android app

    I would like to have the ability to approve all invoices, bills and PO's that have been submitted for approval using the Android app on my phone. Instead of what I have to do not which is to login to the Xero website through my phone and navigate the small text to painstakingly reach the item that requires approval.

  19. Allow multiple invoices to be paid from the Sales area of Xero

    Allow multiple invoices to be paid from the Sales area of Xero at the time of receiving the payment, rather than awaiting the bank feed. I.e. customer pays over the counter, or over the phone by credit card, and the Xero user wishes to update immediately on the system, rather than waiting for the bank feed the following day. This also leads to the suggestion of allowing a Bank Deposit form to be printed, from cash and cheques received during the day.
