    Instead of just the Boolean "IsReconciled" with GET Payments, please include the bank transaction id that could be used to join the payment with a bank transaction from GET BankTransactions.

  3. Disable browser autocomplete on global search field

    Could the front-end devs please add an autocomplete=off attribute to Xero's main global search input field like so:

    <input type="text" id="queryInput" value="xe" autocomplete="off">

    The browser's native suggestion dropdown covers the Xero results, which is usually blocking the item you actually want to click on.

  4. A set of forward/back button links at the top of each page.

    When searching through several pages of, say, bank statements to find a specific item it becomes very annoying to have to go back to the bottom of each page to access the button for forward/back. Surely it makes complete sense to have the bottom buttons copied to the top of each page too.

  6. Add Purchase Order (PO) number to invoices

    It would be useful to add PO number to invoices as a separate field.

    At the moment we have to add it to the reference.

    Large enterprise clients expect to see their PO number in the top right area of the invoice but it sometimes isn't clearly visible when we put it into the reference and then their procurement department rejects the invoice.

  7. Add visibility of Quotes to the Main dashboard - Alongside Invoices.

    Add visibility of quotes summary to the Main dashboard - either under:

    "Invoices owed to you" - replacing "draft invoices" or adding alongside "draft invoices".

    or

    a stand alone "Quotes Summary" section

    Now we are using quotes - we have no further need to use "draft invoices". But have No visibility of quotes from the Main Dashboard.

    As this forum is for developer API functionality requests and yours relates to something that would need to happen in the main application, I’m afraid we have to decline this suggestion, but don’t take it personally – we would still love to see you make your suggestion in the Xero Community forum: https://community.xero.com/business/

    We do already have a request thread on this topic: https://community.xero.com/business/discussion/7973127

  8. Add eWise to your list of financial aggregators for Asia market

    Add eWise to your list of financial aggregators for Asia market. Yodlee does not work for the Sg market where OTP is required. However, eWise is able to login and pull the transaction from SG banks. I have seen it myself.

    You guys should look into their financial aggregating services if you would like to improve on bank feeds in Singapore.

  9. Enable multiple shipping addresses for a contact

    Please can we allow a contact to be associated with multiple shipping addresses. Whilst groups work to some extent, it is unforgiving if there are any inaccuracies in group membership (which does occur).

  10. Automatic credit card billing for recurring invoices

    You currently allow invoices to be paid using credit card (DPS, PayPal etc).

    If it's a recurring invoice (particularly if it's monthly) it'd be great if the client could opt to be billed automatically by credit card.

  11. allow bulk editing of recurring Invoices

    If I have a product or service that has a monthly recurring invoices.

    There can be lots of customers that are invoiced monthly for this same product (xero recurring invoice).

    If I change the price for the inventory item they are getting invoiced for monthly, I was told by the help team that I will have to manually edit every single invoice that includes that item one at a time, to change the price?

    This seems like a very big task for such a common occurrence, so there should be some automatic way of doing it, either from an API,…

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

    Hi everyone,

    Firstly, apologies – it’s obvious from the continuing comments that we declined this request too hastily and without the explanation it deserved.

    We know that reconciling would be a valuable API feature, but reconciling requires fine grained access to bank statement data and unfortunately we’re not able to share that data via the API for commercial reasons.

    At Xero we’re passionate about having an open API and providing small businesses with open access to their data. Unfortunately, many of the partners we rely on for statement data don’t share the same ideals.

    Hopefully change is coming in the form of open banking. However, it will be a long time before we can openly share statement data via the API and provide a decent reconciliation experience to third-party apps. For that reason we will unfortunately leave this request as ‘declined’.

    For the immediate future, we’re busy doing some really…

  13. Make contact clickable hotlink when entering a bill / sale so you can check details/financials current

    After you have selected a contact for a bill, invoice, quote etc, put a hot link or button to be able to edit / view details (address, financial) without having to keep going into contacts and searching for the contact checking and returning

  14. a seperate tick for emailed items (instead of going into seperate invoices to view history!)

    The green sent tick is great when looking up invoices,
    But it would be REALLY helpful to have say a blue or red tick for invoices sent via email!
    I write quite a few invoices everyday - and sometimes email systems don't work, I have found the email mailer demon to be unreliable in the registering of emails not received by clients.
    Without it registering on the history inside the actual invoices, I am none the wiser.

  16. Report/Customer Have a column inbetween Number & Due Date the Ref Column

    When looking at invoices that have been generated by Xero - it would be good to be able to identify the customer further ie. I have one large Customer and all the sub customers could be easily identified if the name could be put in the reference at the top of the invoice and then when viewing the main customer you can see the sub-customer.

  17. Customer: "I never received your invoice!". Option to request "Read Email" receipts when emailing invoices

    Some of my customers who forget to pay their overdue invoices use the excuse "Oh, I don't seem to have received your invoice".

    It would be great if we could have a tickbox option to "Request a Read Receipt" (much in the way you can when sending an email via MS Outlook) so that when the customer reads the email they are then prompted to send a receipt confirming that they've read it.

    They won't be able to use the above excuse anymore if they send a read receipt!

  18. Statement list without zero amounts showing

    When listing the statements in accounts receivable to print or email could there be a button to select 'no zero amounts shown' so only the debtors with amounts owing show

    This would be so much easier to select statements to print or email at the end of the month

  20. API: Ability for a negative Invoice amount

    We are use the API (through an addon) to automagically sync Xero and our Admin solution, but we've just found out that a credit invoice (yes, a negative number in this case) can't be pushed to Xero because of lack of support for that in the API.

    A credit invoice can be a negative invoice and this should be handled as such.

    Please advice how this can be done or if it's missing in the API, as it seems to be, please add this asap.
