  1. Update Bills (ACCPAY) after they are paid

    We should be able to update certain fields on an ACCPAY invoice via the API even after the bill is paid. This is in line with the Xero UI. In the Xero UI we can edit the Due Date and Reference still after payment but we can't edit anything via the API. These should match and we should be able to edit the reference (InvoiceNumber) and URL as they do not affect the payment or anything financial on the bill.

    For reference the only reason I'm needing to update these fields is because custom metadata can't be applied to invoices…

  3. How I Found the Top Novel Writing Service A Writer's Journey to Overcome Challenges

    I’ve been stuck on my novel for months and realized I needed professional help to elevate my writing. Feeling lost, I turned to a writing forum and posted, “Can anyone recommend the top novel writing services? I’m struggling to make progress.” Thankfully, fellow writers chimed in with their experiences, leading me to a service that transformed my manuscript into something I was proud of.

  4. Allow Invoice History and Notes for an individual invoice to be exposed within the GET invoice endpoint

    We use Breadwinner to sync Xero to Salesforce. In Xero for an individual invoice we can see the History and Notes. We want to surface that data within the Invoice record in Salesforce.

  7. Allow zero value invoices to be updated via the API

    Currently they are unable to be updated as they are automatically marked as "paid". However, updates are allowed for these invoices via the Dashboard, so I would expect the same behavior via the API.

  8. Invoice API add created timestamp

    Invoices have a Date field with the temporal resolution of YYYY-MM-DD (despite there being numeric values to support time as well).
    This field shows the date that the invoice is created. It would be wonderful if the invoices had a time field, with the timestamp that the invoice was created.
    Fundamentally, this is extremely similar to UpdatedDateUTC.

  9. Set up notification when customer uses Contact Merchant / Ask a Question button on online invoice where invoice generated by API

    Where an invoice is created via API and the customer uses the Contact Merchant button and Ask a Question form found in the online invoice emailed to them, no user in the organisation is notified by email (as the creator user is 'System Generated').

    There needs to be a way either to disable or remove the button, or specify an existing user or email address to be notified in these instances.

    At present, a note is created attached to the invoice but users in the organisation are not made aware of its presence, leaving the customer frustrated their message has…

  10. GET invoices endpoint returns tracking option ids

    I would like for the GET Invoices endpoint to return tracking option Ids on line items, for example: GET https://api.xero.com/api.xro/2.0/Invoices?page=1

    Tracking options are returned when getting a single invoice, for example: GET https://api.xero.com/api.xro/2.0/Invoices/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx

  11. allow filtering on all endpoints for null/blank guid fields

    Our customers / product requires the ability to filter by null/blank guid fields.

    For example, the Invoices endpoint has a RepeatingInvoiceID field. We have customers that need to find all invoices that DID or DID NOT originate from a repeating invoice.

    The logical approach would be via the where clause using one of the following syntax.

    ?where=RepeatingInvoiceID != null
    ?where=RepeatingInvoiceID == null
    ?where=RepeatingInvoiceID != ''
    ?where=RepeatingInvoiceID == ''

    This not only needs to apply to invoices but all endpoints (e.g. the invoices BrandingThemeID, the bank transactions OverpaymentID or PrepaymentID, etc.)

  14. it's challenging to determine which invoice line items are assigned to specific projects.

    I'm writing to suggest a valuable improvement to the Xero API: the ability to directly identify which invoices are linked to projects.

    While I've explored the existing endpoints for both invoices and projects, I haven't found a clear way to establish this relationship through the API data itself.

    Currently, it's challenging to determine which invoice line items are assigned to specific projects. This functionality would be highly beneficial for streamlining workflows and gaining deeper insights into project profitability.

  15. Be able to filter out archived items such as Pay Items

    .NET SDK has removed "JOBKEEPER" as an Allowance item. However, when retrieving Pay Items, an archived item with that type is retrieved, meaning the retrieval of pay items fails via the SDK.
    Should be able to filter out archived items when retrieving data.

  16. Make How-to-guides - Idempotency - Actually Available

    This feedback references the availability of a "How to guide" for idempotency.

    https://xero.uservoice.com/forums/5528-accounting-api/suggestions/11381358-idempotent-requests

    However, the URL returns "Not Authorized."

    https://developer.xero.com/documentation/guides/how-to-guides/idempotency

    If it is there why can we not get it.

  17. Journals updated with "Find and recode" are never retrieved by the API

    When using the If-Modified-Since header, journals updated via "find and recode" are never retrieved.

    There are two main issues with this:

    There is no way via the API to know when journals have been modified, so we're reporting numbers which don't reflect the GL.

    In order to resolve the issue, we need to reload all transactions since the earliest created date of the recoded journal. This could be hundreds of thousands of journals.

  18. Align the decimals for invoices & bills (7 digits) with payments (6 digits)

    Through Xero API, invoices and bills can be created or updated with up to 7 decimal places while payment transactions can only be created or updated with up to 6 decimal places, it would be great that payments transactions could also be created/updated with 7 decimals

  20. Expose employee cost rate data through an API endpoint

    Currently, we can enter employee cost rate data into Xero, but this data is not available back to us through the API. This limits our company's ability to accurately track project profitability, especially through more sophisticated solutions using BI tools outside of Xero. A simple solution would be to expose this data through the Projects endpoint (User table) or another Xero API endpoint (Accounting?). Such a limitation has sparked recent conversation in our LT to migrate away from Xero as our company grows > 50 employees. Without this data available in the API, messy workarounds are implemented externally.
