Modified date on product items should uodate when the on-hand quantity changes
When you change something simple on a product item (say the description) then a request for modified since returns this item.
But if the stock in-hand figure changes (because you've sent an invoice) then the modified date doesn't change and this item isn't returned in the atli query.
So, in effect there is no easy to tell (via API using modified dates) when the stock on- hand has changed. You would have to load all items every ten minutes to know what the current in-hand stock is... And then you would get rate limiting issues.

Tracking CategoryID/OptionID parameters in Trial Balance endpoint.
Adding in the tracking CategoryID and OptionID parameters to the trial balance endpoint would allow for easier & more detailed analysis across multiple tenants in client-specific use cases. The capability exists in the UI via the "new" Trial Balance, so there's a disconnect between the expected level of detail one can get from the UI vs. the API.

Query webhook status via API
After checking in with Xero support there I found there is there no way to poll the webhook status.
It is important to us that the webhook remains "OK" and we have had situations where it has disconnected due to changes in our software that did not go noticed which has required manual reconnection.
If we are able to query the webhook status then we can hook this up to our monitoring and react accordingly.

Software Robots - Reconciling Bank Statement Lines
Hi - I've been looking at reconciling via the API for a client and it seems that functionality hasn't been put into the API which is a shame.
My client has found "software robots" which can do this via scripting. Kind of like taking Software Automation software and running it for production purposes.
Products like these...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjdLAqgwMKAI've got my own thoughts but I'd like to get an understanding what Xero's stance is with products like this and any pro's and cons....
Many thanks for any and all input.
Thanks

Overpayments and Prepayments API
The "Paid from/into" field that is used to store the bank's name is not exposed in the Prepayment/Overpayment endpoints at this time.
Because of which I'm not able to fetch the 'Paid from' for Prepayments and 'Paid into' for Overpayment in API response.
If we will be able to fetch the "Paid from/into" field, then it will make our payments process quite easy because I'm working in Odoo and need to sync the overpayments and prepayments.

Add journal count to the Organisation endpoint.
It would be useful to get a general idea of the size of a particular organisation. The journal count also serves as a maximum on the journal number field. Useful for displaying the percentage completed, if an API user is pulling the entire ledger.

Xero Projects API - bill line items
Note - you need a projects API section now it has been released.
To enable full use of OCR apps with Projects there needs to be the ability to post bill line items to projects as expenses. Without this functionality any business that wants to automate their billing and approval process cannot use Xero projects (without manual intervention in Xero).
As an exmaple - I currently have a client looking to do this with 50 active staff. This would be £250pm or £3,000pa potential Xero fees lost as they would use a different app that does both.

Quotes with lineAmountTypes=inclusive returning wrong unitAmount
Unlike invoices, if lineAmountTypes='INCLUSIVE', quotes return the items with unitAmount having the tax deducted.
Example (invoice):
1. Invoice created with lineAmountTypes=Inclusive with 1 item with unitAmount=100, quantity=1.
2. GET invoice returns the invoice with the item. unitAmount field is correctly showing 100Example (quote):
1. A Quote is created with lineAmountTypes=INCLUSIVE with 1 item of unitAmount=100, quantity=1.
2. GET quote returns the quote with the item's unitAmount=86.96 (86.96+15% GST = 100) which is wrong.1 vote -

Line Items in Xero should be populate with default values of Item Inventory
When a line item is added to Xero invoice - it currently do not created with default values. It doesn't make sense to not default to Item Inventory defined in Xero.
If this is a breaking change and break for other customer then a new field which will let us populate line items using default values.
If not, we will need to sync Item inventory in our end before creating any invoices via API.

Assign Linked Transactions to Projects via the API
Using Projects would be a great solution for my company, but without the ability to assign billable expenses to Projects via the API, they are not useful to us.
