  1. 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 )

  2. 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!!!

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

  4. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  10. 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.

  12. Services which are you guys are providing it's awesome , but the documentation which you have provided is not helpful at all . .. documentation should be user friendly and simple so that developers can easily integrate on their site .

  13. 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.

  15. Keeping with continuity, make a purchase order contact the same as a contact via an invoice or credit note, meaning the Xero API automatically matches them to the Name field or adds them if it can't find them.

    Currently we must upload an address book and then link the contact using the ContactID or ContactNumber for Purchase Orders.

    Why have one way of doing something, then another for something else?

  17. Problem: if a Journal is reversed, Journal.SourceId may point to an invoice whose LineItems do not correspond to JournalLines.

    Proposed Solution: If a Journal is a reversal, expose the number of reversed journal via API, e.g.

    <Journal>
    <IsReversalOf>originalJournalNumber</IsReversalOf>
    ...
    </Journal>

    When it is useful: in the simplest scenario, when Invoice's LineItem is edited, the original Journal corresponding to the Invoice is reverted and new one is created. We end up with three Journals: Journal1 and Journal2 cancel each other, Journal3 reflects (the new version of) the invoice. Unfortunately, all three Journals have SourceID pointing to the (now modified) invoice. Consequently,…

  18. Allow an extra field so that the application can store data with the invoice, credit note, purchase order, payment, etc.

    Other third party sites allow this in the form of an array, in Xero's case, this would be XML an data field or JSON data field.

    This will enable apps to quickly access data using their own pointers, or variables, etc.

  19. This feature requests really applies to Bill entry. Is it possible to include a feature where there is an option to re-enter a new bill to the same supplier and where the date previously entered will automatically repeat? This would make data entry quite a bit quicker.

  20. We used to have A-Z tabs on the top of the window to enable us to search for a contact. Could this feature be re-enabled as currently we cannot browse the contacts - we have to type in a name.
