1. Support the US "auto tax" feature in the API

   In US Xero we would like invoices to go into Xero with the "Auto Tax" element switched on - by default they go in as "Manual Tax".

   We have looked at the Invoice endpoint on the Accounting API and can't see a way to do this, but did notice a Type for Auto Tax, but this is only available for GET (not POST).

   We need to make use of this feature with POST, even if it's only the high level "Auto tax" setting of Manual/Auto (we are happy for the From and To to be populated based on existing data).

   Currently users of our App need to visit each invoice, remove any payment, edit, turn on auto tax, save, reapply payment. Very painful.

3. Create more granular accounting scopes (eg: Sales - Invoice only)

   Right now there is a very wide range of APIs wrapped up in the "accounting.transactions" scope, with no way to provide more granular access within these APIs (https://developer.xero.com/documentation/guides/oauth2/scopes#organisation-scopes).

   This means that it's not possible to grant access to something quite narrow without also granting access to other things that are often not needed. For example, you cannot grant permission to creating/manipulating Sales Invoices without also giving access to all Bank Transactions at the same time.

   This problem is perhaps accentuated for Custom Connections, which are designed to be used for "in house" integrations, as ALL developers with access to maintain such a sales invoice integration would effectively have access to their colleague's salaries and company bank balances and nothing can be done to mitigate against this.

   It feels like either there should be an extra layer of scopes such as "accounting.transactions.invoice" or "accounting.transactions.sales" available.

   I would also think this is quite easy to implement!

4. Manual Journal Webhooks

   Hi,
   I was wondering if there was any plans to implement webhooks for Journals?

   Would be a great implementation for building block to Xero and working with the system.

6. Inventory items webhooks

   Many thanks for adding Invoice/Contact webhooks. We'd love to get inventory items to be the next cab off the rank.

   Syncing stock for tracked items is what we're trying to achieve. So if we could be told when inventory items have changed, specifically in terms of QuantityOnHand.

7. be able to retrieve account transactions via the api.

   Provide an API to retrieve the transactions of an account. (e.g. something like this Profit & Loss report-> click on the YTD value of an account)

8. 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!)

9. Allow third party apps to plug into the Xero interface

   If the Xero interface could be configured to display data from and interact with the apps third party developers are creating similar to the way Facebook applications work inside their platform

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

   It is certainly a nice idea in a lot of ways, and Jesse’s use case example is good one.

   On the other side, allowing 3rd party applications plug into the core Xero application present some quite major security implications. The data we hold on behalf of our customers is considered highly sensitive by us and we ensure we have bank level security across all aspects of our application.

   Second to that, we are a design lead and focused company – we want our software to be really easy to use and remain simple and intuitive, so allowing 3rd parties to introduce interface elements into Xero would be something we would need to carefully plan for.

   With this in mind, it would be quite an onerous task for us to implement a secure framework that would allow 3rd party applications to interface within Xero, in a sensible way that does not detract from the UI.

   It could still be a worthwhile project though – I’d encourage those interested to keep voting for it and also to please leave a comment about your particular use case – this will help inform our decision making.
