to get the similar apis to update employee in 2.0 version
I am able to create employee with first name and last name. I want to update the records with detailed information. But 2.0 version does not have that capability while 1.0 has it. ( http://developer.xero.com/documentation/payroll-api/employees/) .
can we get it in 2.0 version as well ?
1 voteThe 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/

Provide a space for job address on a invoice for the building and construction industry
I really need a space to enter in a job address for invoices as each invoice is allocated to a specific job.

Automatic Reminder Notice - Overdue Invoice
Send an automatic reminder notice after, either, 7 days, 14 days, and/or 21 days once the invoice gets overdue. We should have the facility to choose number of reminder notices. Have the facility to generate reminder notice report.
We sent several invoices everyday and it is hard for us to remember to send a notice to clear their overdue payments
My client needed this system in xero and he was depressed when he heard that it's not yet developed in xero.
52 votesGood news! Work is almost complete for invoice reminders in Xero so look out for it in the app very soon.
I’m closing this particular suggestion as it seems to relate to Xero in general rather than the Xero API. General Xero suggestions are best placed here https://community.xero.com/business/discussion/50961/
If anyone voting for this issue has any API specific suggestions for invoice reminders then please feel free to post it as a new idea.

Add a payment gateway such as sagepay so that payments for invoices can be taken via Xero
It would be nice to beable to take a payment over the phone using a virtual terminal from within Xero.
Adding a take payment now button when an invoice is approved and adding a payment gateway such as sagepay for this would be very useful.
21 votesFor developers looking to integrate a payment system themselves (including SagePay) they can do so using this guide we have provided: http://developer.xero.com/documentation/api-guides/payment-services-integration-with-xero/
While providing an integration to SagePay as part of our payment services feature in Xero is not currently on the roadmap, you can raise and vote on a feature request for it in our Xero community: https://community.xero.com/business/topic/23/

make a comparaitive report for the trial balance
For reviewing yearend accounts, we review against the Trial Balance from the prior year, therefore it would be great if in the Trial Balance there was an option to view periods (or Last year) etc as you can do with the Balance Sheet and Profit & Loss Statements.

Add a cc and bcc option for when sending out invoices
Simple thing, just give option for copying/bcc'ing others, especially for clients who specify that you do this.

add more placeholders to email templates
I love the mail-merge style placeholders you've added to the email templates, but there could easily be more!
For example the "Contact Name" - a lot of my customers are businesses, so the emails will say "Hi ABC Company Pty Ltd" which looks silly. I've added the contact names of the actual people I deal with at those companies into the Contacts section of Xero, so having access to "Contact First Name" for example would be excellent.
41 votesFrom the details of this request it seems like this is a general Xero feature request rather than a developer API request.
For that reason I’m declining the request on this forum but encourage you to add your votes and comments to Xero’s main feature request forum:

allow use of the enter key to move through the fields when inputting data

Create a partnership with or API for quotewerks to be able to import or synchronize invoices and purchase orders from quotewerks to xero and visaversa.

Allow for depreciation of assets subject to the vehicle cost limit
There needs to be a box to tick to indicate the asset is subject to the vehicle cost limit, so depreciation is not calculated on the whole cost

Allow edits to Tax codes, Nominals and Project Tracking lines in Expenses section
AT the moment, once you have approved a line of an expense, you can never edit it again. If you get the VAT code wrong, there is no way of changing it. If you haven't approved the entire invoice, you can cancel the claim - but then you can't reenter it - you have to get your employee to do this all over again. If you have approved the claim - there is nothing you can do.
Please fix this - I don't understand why we haven't got the same editing abilities in the Expenses section as we do in…

be able to attach supplemental documentation to outgoing invoices - not just PDFs, but excel files and jpgs
I have clients who, when they bill their clients, are required to submit spreadsheets, copies of documents etc WITH their invoice - many state and government jobs require this. It would be great if it could be done within Xero rather than go out to the "normal" email to send both the Xero invoice and the attached documents.

Let an API link Xero bank rules to Excel, for big time savings
If this only let us export, import, create and delete, it would quickly give big time savings, avoid many errors and encourage better rule coding. However, its value will grow exponentially as we use the combined rules, of many clients, to copy rules between them and new clients. This could soon give all Xero users local and national Excel rule libraries. Their rules could reference rule creators, both for support and to encourage library contributions. The reputation of the rule creator, forum comments on each rule and the Likes (votes) of users will encourage much wider sharing of much better…
22 votesThe API is not suited to this purpose, this would need to be built in the main application in order for users to import/export. It could be exposed via the API also later on, but for now, the best place to show support for this functionality is in our community forum: https://community.xero.com/business/discussion/65371/
This forum is specifically for developer API functionality (exposing existing Xero functions through the API).

Populate reference field on payable invoices
Would like the ability to set the reference field on payable invoices. This is available on sales invoices but not on payables
7 votesIf you set the InvoiceNumber when creating payable invoices via the API it will populate the Reference field in the Xero UI.
