Allow financial advisers to permanently delete records from the systen
I think that Financial Advisers should have the ability to completely remove a record from the system. Or - this needs to be a permission setting on some future ACL implementation.
What if an error occurs? Especially for folks like me who are synchronizing their billing system. As far as I am concerned - my billing system has the most accurate information. I want to be able to adjust for errors that may occur during sync - because I cannot effect the records in my billing system.
These records have already occured. They are uneditable. Xero is simply copying those…
1 voteHi Aaron, appreciate the suggestion. This is best placed in the community feature requests as it is not API related: https://community.xero.com/business/topic/23/
I can tell you that any full accounting system needs a complete audit trail – that is why deleting is not an option but reversing/undoing is in Xero.

use consistent response structures
The addition of reporting a contact's balances was a great addition, however I feel the response structure should be consistent, regardless of balances. Where any balances are $0, this should be reported as $0, instead of being removed. By removing the key, we are left only being able to test for the absence of data, which creates an assumptive logic.
I understand that removing keys for null values might be part of your api design (ie no email address entered doesn't return an empty <EmailAddress>, but technically, a customer always has a balance so there for the Balances data should…

have an option to change the default view on 'My Xero' homepage to show only specified grouped or favourite files.
Our firm uses ledgers for tax work which is making the 'My Xero' homepage very cluttered and time consuming to find files. I have created groups however each time you navigate back to the homepage, all files are showing.
Can you please create an option that allows you to choose which groups are showing on the homepage?

Validate only option for POST and PUT
Currently when you POST or PUT, Xero will either accept or reject each of the entries. Provide an option to POST or PUT data (Invoices) and have the results returned WITHOUT actually updating any data. That would allow an All or Nothing approach to batch data submission.

Provide API to retrieve Customer Invoice Reports
We'd like the ability to retrieve customer reports (as data and in PDF format). We could attempt to re-assemble the reports ourselves but for consistency we'd like to be able to retrieve them directly from Xero.

Edit the balance sheet comparison dates outside Xero
I use an Add on program with Xero named QuickWin Development. I extract my Balance Sheet from Xero and its sent into Microsoft Excel. It works well except it won't let me extract the balance sheet with editable comparative dates. This is a simple feature when editing the balance sheet inside Xero. So I wonder why you cannot do this when extracting into Excel.

Make reconciling paypal payments in xero EASIER
At present I have PayPal linked to my XERO account. I receive almost no inbound monies via paypal, but make a lot of supplier payments (o/s) via paypal. Often the amount's are the same. Xero only imports the amount and transaction ID, which is unique and has no reference to the client, It could be 1 of 50, all looking the same. Then manually we must go back into paypal, search through each transaction ID, find it, view the invoice and manually report each payment back into Xero - Very time consuming. I'm hoping my lack of knowledge is the…

Allow employees to enter start and finish times into timesheets
In our industry there are penalty rates before/after certain times and days, and employees shouldnt be responsible for working out which pay item they are to be paid.
We also have a lot of junior staff who would have no clue and they just need to enter their start time, break time and finish time and then allow the payroll officer to convert this into which rates apply.
Add-ons are way too expensive on top of the cost of Xero, especially when you have more than 10 employees.
This would also save a lot of double entering (timebooks, then xero)…

Add a section under employee details for emergency contacts.
Each employee should have at least ONE emergency contact listed for work emergencies. I think in the employee personal details section there should be an area for us to add an emergency contact. At the moment, should anything happen to a staff member at work, there is no emergency contact details in Xero so that we can notify our staff's next of kin. I think it is important (and respectful on behalf of our business) to be able to let loved ones know when a work accident or emergency has happened.

The screen should return to the report you were looking at after you edit a transaction instead of having to start over every time.
As a bookkeeper I need to be able to pull a report and edit transactions from there. However, every time I edit and save a transaction it brings me back to the dashboard instead of the report I was looking at and I have to start from the beginning to re-pull the report I was looking at. What should be a one step fix is now a 5 step process.

Add an OData interface to query live transaction data directly from Microsoft Excel
Microsoft Excel is an essential tool for all accountants. It can be easily configured to consume an OData data source. OData is a standardized protocol for creating restful data APIs. This XML-based protocol supports the ability to create filtered data streams. By exposing live transaction data through a secured, well-engineered OData API, you will be adding massive value to your customers accounting data. OData combined with Excel Pivot Tables and PowerPivot creates an incredibly potent analysis and reporting tool. All your customers already own Excel. PowerPivot is a free add-in from Microsoft. All that's needed is an OData API and…
1 voteWe have no plans to support OData, preferring to stick with our technology agnostic web services API with OAuth authentication.
There are however, a number of commercial add-ons available using our API, providing Excel integration:

give the option for cashbook clients (that are cash coding) to add accounts to the chart of accounts - not just edit bank accounts
Giving the option for clients that have limited access to the partner edition GST or non GST cashbook, that have "cash coding" access - the ability to add accounts to the chart. At the moment clients can only add or delete bank accounts. Some clients I wouldn't want to give this option to, but for other clients we would and don't want to have to keep adding them for them.
