  2. File Upload from Cloud Volumes

    Allow uploading of documents (my use case is Invoices) from cloud storage. Currently you can provide the document content, but it renders as a blank document in the viewer.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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

  8. API support for deleting Prepayments and Overpayments

    API support to delete/void prepayments and overpayments will add benefit to keep our system in sync with Xero without the need for manual intervention.

  9. 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.

  11. Allow booking of time entries on Jobs I am not assigned through in the API for XPM

    In XPM you can create a time entry for a Job you are not assigned to. However this is not possible if we are making the time entry through the API.

    The API should offer that possibility as it is the same as in the browser.

    The API is not allowed to reproduce the same behaviour as in the the portal which is a bug.

  12. Ability to create Practice Manager invoices

    It's possible to get details of Practice Manager invoices using the Invoices API endpoints:

    https://developer.xero.com/documentation/api/practice-manager-3-1/invoices

    However, it's not possible to create or update invoices using the API. It seems to be possible to create and update most other objects using the API so why not invoices?

    This functionality would be very useful as invoices are a fundamental part of the system.

  13. Ability to access Practice Manager staff billable rates

    It would be really useful to be able to access (and ideally edit) staff billable rates via the Practice Manager API.

    Many other fields can be accessed via the Staff endpoint:

    https://developer.xero.com/documentation/api/practice-manager-3-1/staff

    This would be a really useful addition.

  14. Ability to update Practice Manager time sheet entry "Billable" field

    The Practice Manager API allows the editing of most time sheet entry fields via the Time PUT Update endpoint:

    https://developer.xero.com/documentation/api/practice-manager-3-1/time/#put-update

    However, for some reason it doesn't currently allow toggling the Billable field.

    It would be really useful to allow editing of this field along with the ability to edit the rest of the time sheet entry fields.

  18. Add Expenses endpoint to the Projects API

    The Projects module of Xero allows you to capture expenses. However, this data cannot be retrieved from any endpoint.

    It would be good if an Expenses endpoint was added to provide the list of expenses add to projects (including estimate cost and revenue information).

  19. Update Xero Projects API endpoint to Include estimated costs

    The Xero Projects API / Projects endpoint include an estimate field that provides the estimated revenue.

    It would be good to add an additional estimateCosts field to provide the estimated cost so as to be able to calculate margin for a given project.
