  2. Add an employee flag for indigenous/non-indigenous to allow reporting of the number of indigenous employees for all payroll type reports. This is grant reporting requirement for indigenous corporations.

  3. Currently on the Dashboard you cannot see the quantity on hand. It would be easier for tracked items on the Dashboard to have a quantity column, so that it's easier for smaller firms to keep track and be able to place orders efficiently.

  4. • Contacts/Project Dashboard - The Contacts page could be improved with a dashboard of all relevant data for that Contact such as the P&L for the client and their projects. I would also like to see a Statement feature detailing all invoices and payments in journal display i.e. account debits and credits, filtered either by Contact and/or Projects.

    • Sales Pipeline – A New Leads/Tenders/Quotes feature would allow the Sales team to add details for new clients and projects. Unsuccessful New Leads could be demoted to Old Bids which would keep the contact, bid and project details on the system.…

  5. GET attachment from Expense Claims
    The current implementation of Expense claims will not allow you to retrieve any attachments made to a Receipt posted into an Expense Claim. We would like this fixed so we can retrieve attachments from within an Expense Claim based on the Receipt ID.

  6. Lots of business have multiple Shopify stores, buy at present we can only use one feed from one shop.
    This means we still have to manually input data from one store and can't upscale using the system.
    I am sure there are many other retailers with a similar problem.

  8. Currently I can assign an expense to a customer during reconciliation and apply it when invoicing. I want to be able to do this in reverse. I want to be able to invoice the customer first, and have the expense to be paid on behalf of the customer come up as an option during reconciliation. I understand I can do something like that by creating a bill, but it's tedious.

  9. When creating invoices via Xero UI, contact and organization default due date rules are applied, which is great!
    But when creating invoices via API, due date field is left blank unless it's explicitly set in the API request. All this nice logic of applying contact and organization due date, in that order, is skipped for API created invoices, resulting in a rather inconsistent UX for end users.

    And to "use" that feature of Xero, each API application would need to reimplement same logic that Xero UI already has.

    I think keeping parity between UI and API would be very good…

  11. When I create new delivery address for new PO I am able to specify its lable. However when I try to obtain available addresses from my company settings I cannot find address lable only address type. For all delivery addresses this type is the same: DELIVERY.

    We would like to list company addresses the way it is done during Purchase Order creation in Xero. The problem is that API does not send back the "Label" of the addresses (bold text like "Postal" or "Physical"). These labels are very important since they are used to set some meaningful name to the…

  13. When a client pays parts of an invoice, the sceen view shows a 'total' line, 'less payment' line and an 'amount due' line, but it only shows the 'balance due' on the print out. I'd like to it to be the same as the screen view.

  14. I'd like to see each contact have their own email AND phone number, plus a note section i.e accounts/ workshop

    Also, at the moment, the second contact must have an email - I'd like to be able to add a contact with as many or as little fields filled out e.g Sometimes all I need to add is another name with no email or phone number

  15. The best Q&A technical sites I use have voting on answers so the most popular answer bubbles to the top. Means it is value based rather than just a history or replies.

    See:

  16. Please add a label option so it does not show the label of the api. We use this to link invoices to bills and bills to invoices as they are related for our business.

  17. The layout of the menus doesn't always seem aligned with the tasks I perform most often: "Add Credit Note" is something I use regularly. Why is the link for this action hidden so?

  18. I have batches of 20 or more bills to add at once.
    I want to do them quickly.
    I know the supplier name is already in Xero and that autolookup will find the name if I just type the first 3 letters.
    But alas! I hit the TAB key before the autolookup feature has worked, and now I've created a new supplier called Ral, or Mad, or Win, or Upg, or...
    Please fix this, it drives me mad.

  19. 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.

  20. 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.
