  2. add an option BankSummary to include accounts with zero balances and no transactions

    When an account has a zero balance and no transactions for the specified time period in the Bank Summary Report, it is excluded from the returned data.

    The request is to provide an optional parameter, 'includeZeroBalances' or the like, that includes these accounts and displays them in the report with zero balances.

  5. Include contacts that have been converted to customers (or suppliers) when "If-Modified-Since" filter is applied

    When a contact is created in Xero it is not until after an invoice has been created that it gets converted to a customer (or supplier). Which is expected.

    However when the "If-Modified-Since" filter is used on the GET Contacts endpoint where the "If-Modified-Since" date is after the contact is created but before the conatct as made into a supplier (i.e. after the isCustomer or isSuppler flag flips from false to true in the body of the Contact response) then the contact is not returned in the response.

    I sugget a change that when a contact is converted to a…

  10. View community posts as JSON

    This is for the community forum.

    I specifically want it to be able to fetch reviews about a company as we are looking to build a dashboard that combines all of the platforms that we get regular reviews on (Shopify, Xero, GetApp, Capterra) in order to better manage this process.

    For example, it would be good to be able to fetch this as JSON.

  12. Allow Custom URL Schemes

    Currently the URL elements of various Xero resources appear to reject URLs that do not fit the http or https scheme. It would be very helpful if this barrier was removed.

    Both OS X and iOS are seeing an explosion of applications that implement custom URL schemes as a way to hook or callback. https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/iPhone/Conceptual/iPhoneOSProgrammingGuide/Inter-AppCommunication/Inter-AppCommunication.html

    My personal use case is a custom built warehouse management system. Our established application is hosted on premises, with client runtimes on OS X and iOS. We're integrating as a private app to Xero and will be pushing in contacts, payables and sales. All of…

  13. create a new report for suppliers customers

    We need a report which can show all activity in suppliers/customers ledger by date ie invoice date, description, payment date. I cannot see anywhere a report like that which would be very useful.

  14. cater for invoices to be drafted/prepared off-line

    I normally work in areas where mobile/cell signals a poor. I therefore have to keep a separate Timesheet and invoice when I am back in the office. I find this incredibly irritating, because invoices done later always take a lot longer. My own accounting system based on spreadsheets did not have this restriction. Xero may in the long run save my bookkeeper some time, but for me, the person at the coal face, it is quite a lot less efficient because of this inability to do invoices on customer sites.

  15. Be able to filter by items inside a list. e.g. Filter invoices by Line Item's Tracking Category

    Be able to filter by fields inside an object which has lists. Such as Invoice's Line Items.
    These fields contain important information such as tracking category, amounts, totals which would be a good functionality if one is able to filter using these information so to create more detailed reports

  16. Update Bank Transaction created by Bank Transfer

    When you create a bank transfer, two bank transactions are created one on each bank account. There is no way to edit or reconcile the bank transactions that are created via the API. I would like the ability to do that.

  17. Specify date range in Chart of Accounts

    When you drill down to the transactions within a particular account in the Chart of Accounts it would be handy to be able to specify a date range so you see the transactions within that date range only.

  19. add an intercompany loan account

    I have a few clients who have a Group of companies, transactions between them are posted through an intercompany loan account, which needs to be reconciled. It would be great if transactions posted to that account appear in a linked company and a check is made to show that the loan accounts balance.

  20. Posting receipt of payments on Invoices or downloading of receipt pdf of the payment

    On XERO online portal, when we add a payment we can send a receipt to customers email. Similar way can we have this feature via api. Either by posting receipt on payment acceptance or download receipt pdf of payment. This is something must have feature.
