  1. Our invoices always have multiple Line Items, often with the same quantity and Amounts, but with different descriptions.

    We need a way to ensure certainty in matching the Xero Line Items in the API response with those on our side.

    At present the only option we have is to iterate over the Description text, which is fraught with error.

  2. We develop custom solutions/integrations for clients using Xero. One of the biggest issues we have is that if we develop an App for a Client; we connect their Xero account to the Production version of the App. However, once we do that, we don't have a TEST environment in Xero to test changes end-to-end.

    It would be great to have a Sandbox account / test account that could be used to test like-for-like on Staging vs Production.

    (ie for payments, we have a test payment gateway and a live payment gateway)

    This would help to ensure we can test changes…

  3. When creating an Invoice via the API - we receive a response that includes the Invoice and the Lines - but each line does not have its Xero ID. As such, we need to do a subsequent API call to grab the Line IDs.

    Without this we don't have a way to EDIT Lines on an Invoice and essentially are deleting all Lines/re-adding these.

    Receiving the Line IDs would allow better management of this outside Xero.

  4. Other paged endpoints show the total number of records available but journals doesn't (possibly because it's using "offset" instead of "page")

  6. Be able to delete bank statement lines in Xero via API. This would be useful to delete single and/or multiple bank statement lines.

  7. When a supplier payment appears on the bank feed before the corresponding purchase invoice has been entered into Xero, reconciling the payment can lead to double counting. Currently, if you record the payment as a spend money transaction and then later enter the invoice, Xero treats them separately. This causes extra work and creates reconciliation inaccuracies.

    Introduce a bank rule specifically for supplier overpayments. When the system detects a payment to a known supplier that exceeds the amount of an existing invoice or occurs before any invoice exists, the bank rule would:

    1. Post the transaction directly to the payables ledger…

  9. I currently look after 10 customers, soon to increase to 12. Under the Home tab there's a list of only 5 recently used organisations. This means I regularly have to 'search' for the organisation I need, which isn't very user friendly.

    My limited programming experience suggests that the size of that dropdown list is driven by a paramer, currently set to 5. Assuming that is the case, it should be relatively straightforward to increase the parameter to 10, or even 15.

    Can that be implemented please, to make life easier for heavy users like myself.

  10. Our main use case for webhooks is to indicate whether we need to refresh the data. Because of this, we don't need an update for every change that a customer makes. If we could respond to a webhook message indicating that we didn't want to receive any more requests for a period of time (1 hour, 6 hours, 1 day etc) then that would save processing and bandwidth on both sides.

  11. Hi Xero team,

    When creating invoices, Xero automatically pre-fills the account number it thinks is appropriate. However, this suggested account is often incorrect, and because many account numbers look similar, it’s easy to miss the error and time-consuming to fix later.

    Suggestion: Option to Disable Automatic Account Number Pre-Fill on Invoices
    It would be very helpful if there were an option to disable automatic account number pre-filling, allowing users to select the correct account manually each time.
    This small change would reduce errors and make the invoicing process more accurate for users who prefer complete control over account selection.
    Thank…

  13. It would be useful when processing transfers, and when searching for specific transactions for corrections, if you could view say two different bank accounts side by side on the same tab.

  16. Per the documentation for Profit & Loss periods, the only way to always get a full month of data for previous periods is to start in a month with 31 days.

    Given we have a 30 June year end this is a pretty annoying workaround.

    The confusing thing is that setting up the Balance Sheet in a month with 30 days doesn't result in this issue and prior periods will automatically show the 31st day where applicable.

  17. In the organisations settings API, it does not send through the PAYGW period for Australian entities. In our app, the user currently has to manually choose this in our app, whereas it could be automatic if it was added to the API.

  18. Some lines in the balance sheet report are the result of formulas e.g. Net Assets. The formulas are included in the Excel export but not the API response

    Include the formulas in the API response so that the same functionality can be replicated

  20. As a user of the API, I want to be able to update the status of an invoice without sending all of the line items along in the payload.

    Currently, if I'm updating an invoice's status via the API I need to explicitly send the line items along with the request. If I do not send the line items, Xero deletes and recreates all of the line items even though they're not pertinent to the action (not updating line items, amounts, etc.).

    This causes particular issues with inventory decimal precision. Every request needs to send the unitdp if you want…
