  1. create Purchase Order reports

    Currently there is no way to report on the status of purchase orders, or details of what has been ordered. I think we should have a basic report exportable to excel with the following headings:

    PO number,
    supplier,
    details of items on order,
    date raised,
    date due,
    amount,
    total,
    gst,
    grand total,
    status,
    person who created the PO.

  2. make it easy for other 3rd party payroll companies to import their GL report to update Xero

    You have a short list of payroll companies who can already interface with Xero accounting software, but I cannot find the format a general ledger needs to be in, in order to update the GL in Xero.

    It needs to be easier to become one of those payroll companies, or you need to provide an import function and provide an import spec sheet.

  3. Fast way to reclassify bulk transactions from any type of account, location, or class in Xero.

    We need a fast way to reclassify bulk transactions from any type of account, location, or class. QuickBooks has the Reclassify Transactions feature and Xero should have the same.We also need the ability to change account types for bank accounts to any Asset, Liability, Equity, Income, and Expense accounts. My suggestion, give us Xero Partners accountants tools like QuickBooks does for us. Our clients do not get these tools, but QuickBooks ProAdvisors get them. Xero can do the same for us Xero Partners.

  4. Ability to merge accounts in the chart of accounts

    You can merge contacts, how about the ability to merge accounts, users will often create duplicate accounts and use both, rather than waste time recoding a bunch of transactions choose which accounts you want to merge

  6. API to set exchange rates

    Create and API entry point to set default exchange rates, just like we do on the Settings page.

    Rational: here in Poland, we're obliged to use the Polish Central Bank exchange rates on accounting. Having an API for it makes it possible for us the call it once everyday to set the rate for the next day. Without this we're not able to use Xero officially for bookkeeping. (we have to setup the rates for this whole calendar year!)

  7. Add SagePay to invoice payment gateway, they are one of the most popular in the UK.

    Sagepay is one of the most popular payment gateways used in the UK, it would be a huge benefit to add sagepay as an invoice payment method option in xero.

  9. Send <Payments> together with <Invoice>

    We invoice just upon payment, so it would be nice to be able to send <Payments> together with <Invoice>, when creating it, so we don't need to do two separate calls for it.

  10. Importing Field Addition (POAttentionTo & ContactEmail) to the Default CSV

    Good Day All,

       Upon importing the default field "Email Address" or [EmailAddress] this field can only accept one and only one email address.  
   After the invoice has gone thru approval you have a To field when you select the 'Email' Buttion.  The sub field to this one is [ContactEmail] but when i added that to my CSV to be imported it was Ignored.

    Please Add [ContactEmail] to the import so after it is approved the billing manager doesn't need to add a "; [extra email address]" to every statement that it is needed for notification.

    Secondly, Xero has a field…

  11. Change Credit Notes Editing

    When trying to complete a credit note you cant amend the amount on a invoice that has already received a payment this is frustrating as we run promotions all the time and it is annoying to have to either delete the invoice and reenter it or delete the payment and re enter it, this is more work load and it would be more benifical to be able to enter the amount that you are wanting to enter rather then it automatically deleting the amount outstanding on the invoice, will they be able to make this more user friendly by entering…

  12. Add nested sorting feature

    When selecting transactions to match bulk bank payments the columns allow for only individual sorting. It would be nice to be able to sort by customer and date rather than just either. I suppose you could apply nested sorting to all column selecting areas of Xero.

  14. Fix the Expense Claim dates

    The C# wrapper is looking for CreatedDateUTC, UpdatedDateUTC & Date but the API returns just UpdatedDateUTC and even this appears to be wrong in my testing (I get 2008-09-25T11:04:21.707).

    I'd like to see ReportingDate and PaymentDueDate.

  15. Client code field when setting up new clients

    Currently, there is a feature to add a client code for businesses who handle multiple clients. However this code can only be entered after the client is setup as a separate step. It would be quicker to optionally add the client code as part of the setup process.

    declined  ·  AdminXero Developer Platform (CEO / Founder, Xero Developer Centre) responded

    The Core accounting API employees endpoint (http://developer.xero.com/documentation/api/employees/) is very different and much more limited in function. It is related to the pay run function in Xero which is quite basic and there are no plans to make any changes to this.

    The Payroll API employee endpoint (http://developer.xero.com/documentation/payroll-api/employees/) is more extensive as it is an API to the Xero payroll application (currently only available in Australia).

    If you have more questions about using our APIs, they are best asked in our developer forum https://community.xero.com/developer/
