  1. 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,…

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  8. This should be similar to the Modified After parameter for invoice requests. The UpdatedDateUTC field is available int the body of the file response and users would like the ability to filter on this.

    This is in lieu of webhooks notifying users of the file API of changes, which is a separate requested feature.

  10. After waiting for years for the ability to access the Invoice URL via the API, it was unfortunately provided in a completely crippled manner.

    What should have happened is that the Invoice URL simply be provided along with the rest of the Invoice data through the paging API.

    Instead, it is provided on a per-invoice basis, requiring the use of an API call for every URL retrieved. Given the shockingly small limit to API calls, this makes this non-workable.

    Your competition, QuickBooks Online, allows 500 calls per MINUTE, compared to Xero's 1000 per DAY. If you had their API limits…

  11. It would be great if the limit of API calls is increased. That way we can make more requests to Xero and not have the connection destabilise. This affects our customer experience as our customers ask us always

  16. When one is a bit behind on the reconciliations I think it would be useful to be able to filter the statement lines which need to be reconciled to show monies received only so that invoices can be quickly reconciled and overdue invoices sent off to clients. This would save trawling through pages of statement lines or searching payments in online banking then searching for that transaction among the reconciliation pages

  18. I have a group of transactions coming in through the bank where only one small part of the refence is common to them all - this I have used for a bank rule.

    However, there are other transactions including this small suffix which get accidently picked up from time to time - I would like to be able to exclude these from the bank rule to prevent accidental mispostings.

  19. The UI allows for a bank transaction line with a quantity but zero dollar unit amount and line amount. The API should allow the same function.
