  1. Custom IDs

    Add a custom ID for all Objects on Xero.

    We're building a system to manage and sync data across multiple platforms, and we're having many issues keep data in sync with bulk inserts and writing back to our own IDs. For example when bulk inserting payments we cannot match them to the payments on the system as there is no unique number we can pass through and no other field is reliable. Due to the API rate limits we're forced to use Bulk inserts so we cannot update on an individual basis.

  5. Tracking Summary Report with Account Groups and Tracking Categories

    Xero is awesome for Financial data management and manipulations. Its API providing the extra strength to Xero for integrating Xero with other webapps. Of course Most of the APIs are in still Xero Development Phase, But we need an extensive API for getting the reports(at minimum Tracking Summary Report) to make the use of tracking summary data inside webapps.

  6. lock a bank account once reconciled

    It is too easy to stuff up the bank reconciliation. There is no alert that the account has been reconciled when you are changing transactions. There should be a way to lock a bank once it has been reconciled.

  7. Pass the PDF attachments when sending an invoice through the Xero to Xero network

    Currently when you send an invoice via the Xero to Xero network it does not pass a PDF copy of the invoice as an attachment.
    You have to download and re upload the PDF which takes away from teh benefits of sending through the Xero to Xero network

  10. Allow payment and subsequent dishonour to be allocated against customer invoice.

    We have customers who frequently have their payments to us dishonoured. If we could allocate the payment and subsequent dishonour against the invoice it would become more visible to us and the customer when their statement is issued. Currently the customer can be quite unaware this is happening.

  14. Ability to store previous company names

    sometime if one person in the office is looking for a particular company by its previous name, this happens from time to time and the name has already been changed in WFM or Xero then you have to switch to Companies office to find out the new name.....

    if you had something similar to companies office where you could have a previous name list so that when you search, if you search an old name it will still bring up the client.

    also some of our clients use an alias as to avoid public actually knowing their real name, most…

  17. Support for Inventory Adjustments

    Add support for the inventory adjustments in the API.

    Currently you can effectively perform inventory adjustments via the API using invoices. See the tracked inventory guide for more info: http://developer.xero.com/documentation/api-guides/tracked-inventory-in-xero/

    This request is to expose the specific inventory functionality in Xero via the API.

  18. Allow BankTransactions to import to Accounts with "Enable payments to this account" ticked

    Currently Bank Transactions can only be posted to accounts of Bank type. It would be great if they could be posted to any account that has the "Enable payments to this account" box ticked. For example a customer pays a deposit (prepayment) via electronic or online means - some users like to put this to a clearing account or undeposited funds before posting to the bank account.

  20. Be able to pick which email address to send an invoice to.

    Whilst you are able to have multiple email address when sending out an invoice, you have to manually delete the one's you do not wish for it to go to. There should be a drop down box with the emails for that contact to pick from.
