  1. Trial Balance Report - Add Parameter to specify sort order

    At the moment the Trial Balance report via the API can only be sorted by Account Name. I would like to see a new parameter to allow us to specify the sort order for the report, e.g. by Account Name or Account Code. These are the same options available in the Xero UI.

  2. Add ability to delete Attachments

    Using an A/R Invoice as an example, at the moment you can upload a new attachment, retrieve a list of attachments and download attachments. I would like to have the ability to delete an attachment - for example you might have uploaded the wrong attachment, but you need to login to the main Xero website to be able to delete the attachment.

  4. add line item ids to receipts/expense claims (and credit notes) on GET and POST successful responses

    as with the similar suggestion for manual journals, this would make it possible to keep data in sync between Xero and other systems. Without this ID, if anything so much as the status or one letter in the description changes, there's no way to truly verify you have all the correct lineitems without dumping them all and injecting them again from scratch. yes there are some workarounds, but they all have failure points somewhere without these IDs.

  5. include BARCODE field in Item

    hi guys,

    if a BARCODE field was present in the item it would enable using a barcode scanner when pick and packing the Xero order/invocie.

    Also, most items / products these days have a unique standard barcode and this would enable greater integration between Xero and EDI (Electronic Integration between suppliers )

  6. include the Group ID field in the Clients API method for Xero Practice Manager

    This is more for the WorkflowMax/Practice Manager API but as I can't seem to find a community site for that product I'm posting here. It seems like an oversight to not include the group ID. Can this be added please.

  7. Aged Receivables/Payables by all contacts in API

    Be able to get aged Receivables and Payables for all contacts via the API and not have to call them one at a time!!!!

    Surely this would be a massive help to your own API given I'm sure multiple people are just smashing the API by making call after call to get all the contacts out!!!

  8. Include account number on customer invoice report

    Allowing the Customer Invoice Report to have an Account Number Field as more and more accountants use customer numbers rather than the customer name.

  9. Save Bank Statements in xero

    It would be great if there were somewhere within each of the Bank Accounts where we could upload/scan and store Bank Statements within xero as auditors need to see these regardless of whether we say that the account is reconciled.

  11. Add a notes panel to the dashboard

    A notes panel on the dashboard would be great so other people in your organisation can see what the procedures are with that client.
    there is a place to put notes in Practice Manager.

  12. incorporate LawPay into your payment services options

    Many lawyers cannot use just any Merchant Services provider, but Law Pay provides the necessary features for firms. It would be great if you could partner with them as Clio does.

  13. Taxable payments report lodgement through Xero Tax

    Recently lodgement of payment summaries through Xero Tax became available. You can also manually create these instead of handwriting the ATO forms which has been fantastic so far for our firm. It would be much appreciated if this was also done for the annual taxable payments report for the building and construction industry for tax clients who do not use Xero software.

  15. add the ability to hide empty fields for clients

    When in the Client view, it would be helpful if you could opt to only show fields containing data.
    With the ability to enter a large variety of data fields, the page is quite long, however, for many clients a limited number of fields actually contain data.
    If the view could be minimised to only show the fields that actually contain data, the page would be shorter and easier to see the information at a glance without the need to scroll through the page.

  18. Cash Flow Forecast

    I would like to be able to do a monthly cash flow projection. I would start with the cash flow from the past 12 months. I would present the average for each line item and give the forecaster the option to increase or decrease the figure for the coming 3 months. It would need some work to break out the revenue figure by account and to give a way to put in a projection for accounts or opportunities yet to be won by the sales team.

  20. Provide LineItemId on Invoice PUT

    Recently Xero started surfacing the LineItemId for Invoice line items. This is a great initiative. However, to take full advantage of the LineItemId GUID's, we need the ability to send our unique LineItemId's on a PUT.

    Assuming that we could to specify our LineItemId (and that it would be contained in the Xero Response) we would then have the certainty required to associate the Xero LineItemId response with our LineItemId's.

    This feature enhancement is critical as our invoices always have multiple LineItems, often with the same quantity and Amounts.

    We need a way to ensure we are able to match…
