  1. Wrap Paystub element in Paystubs on GET

    Not having it wrapped in Paystubs seems inconsistent with the other endpoints. They are all wrapped even if they are passing an id, which indicates they are only returning one item.

  2. Add GET all or where employee_id= functionality to Paystubs

    It takes a lot of requests to get paystubs for a specific employee. Having the ability to get all or get where employee_id= would reduce the number of requests significantly.

  3. Search Feature

    When searching sales or purchase invoices would it be possible to have a drop down box to select if All, Awaiting Payment, Paid etc instead of being in the tab first before selecting search.

    I dont know how many times I have entered the search item only to find I am in the wrong tab and have to reenter details in the correct tab very frustrating ... but still forget next time I search

    Would be much easier to select this option after search detail is made

  4. Technician/Service Person link to invoice

    We are a service based company and we often have recurring visits per month for each client. Would it be possible to add the name of the service person or technician against each line entry?
    Both the client and the business have a record of who made the sale or provided the service.

  5. Add more objects to Zapier

    You've already created an app on Zapier, well done. But the app is very limited (Invoices, etc). Please add more object types. If most of your object types were there, we could integrate much easier with Xero. And Xero's technical cred would increase dramatically if the ease of moving Journals, Payments, etc were simply creating new Zaps.

  7. Create a purchase order for a customer from the customer's order

    In MYOB you can change a quote to a customer purchase order.

    When the order is created, you can click onto a tab in that order to create a supplier purchase order. That way the details of the customer appears on the supplier's PO. This is great for reference and tracking purposes.

  9. Append Invoice Lines to large Invoices

    Invoices with more than 60 lines will not POST to xero. The request is to large. It would be nice to load the invoice with 30 lines then append 30 more.

    I have previously used Xero personal and I have never found anything that I would rather use. I miss it and would love for you to bring it back to all the people who love to be organised but don't own a business.

  12. Integrate Inventory with Shopify

    An awesome feauture would be to automatically update stock on hand in Xero AND Shopify when receiving Purchase Orders. Without this it's not feasible to manage inventory in Xero for a Shopify store.

  13. Update bank accounts

    Currently you can update any account from your chart of accounts except bank accounts.

    This suggestion is to add update (POST) support for accounts with Type of BANK on the Accounts endpoint.

    Note It is possible to create bank accounts, this is specifically in regard to updates.

  16. Make the journal narration visible to the API

    Would like to be able to access the journal narration through the API. Currently you can just access the line item reference but this requires too much coding effort by our bookkeeper and as such most reference lines are blank. However, every journal/transaction has a narration so would be great to access this.

  17. Allow support for html content in the line items description via API.

    When invoices are sent to XERO from ProWorkflow, the html characters are showing on the invoices as tags rather than getting rendered properly. Some of our customers who use ProWorkflow and XERO heavily also use the html content in their line item descriptions which obviously causes issues for them as the invoice doesn?t look the same anymore.

    I was wondering whether you guys had any thoughts or plans on how we can send html content in the line items over to XERO without stripping all the html characters and get them displayed properly in XERO?

  19. Be able to opt-out of invoice contact summaries

    For example, creating invoice payments return invoice contact summaries in responses.

    If contact details are required on the client side the result is a subsequent API call to retrieve them.

    In this case the overhead of the subsequent call is greater than the cost of returning the information in the invoice payment response. This issue is compounded due to Xero API's rate limiting on requests.

    An optional parameter 'enableSummaries=false' would be nice.

    I understand that for cases like retrieving multiple invoices that summaries are useful but for single result responses, such as invoice payments the current functionality seems inconsistent. The…

  20. Send invoices to other accounting systems via their APIs

    You can already do a Xero to Xero invoice. I would like to link in to other on-line invoice aggregator services via their API and send an invoice to them electronically. I have a couple of multi national clients who refuse to accept invoices that are emailed with PDF attachments. They want me to use their invoice aggregator which either costs me money (if I integrate using their API) or time if I log on to their portal and manually enter each invoice (yeah right!).
