Allow setting Expected Payment Date on modified invoices
The only way of modifying the Expected Payment Date via the API right now is to remove every payment first, then update the date and reapply the payments. We have customers paying via installments (of up to 30 payments) and it would seem a lot more logical to allow changing the Expected Payment Date.
The reason why the Expected Payment Date is important to us is that we use it for cashflow forecasting.

integrate google wallet with xero bank account and payment system
google wallet now allows customer send funds (from credit/debit or bank account) to a business google wallet. I'd like to have xero recognize google wallet as a bank account, so it could receive transactions from it.
in addition, we'd like to be able to make payments (payroll included) using google wallet
thanks for considering
PS. as it stands now, a third party can not write such an integration because the Xero API for banking/payment is not available.
If this request is not considered, alternative suggestion is to introduce new Xero APIs so this integration could be done by a third…

Generate reports by using specific identifiers in the "reference field"
As a building business it would be nice to ascertain the costs of a specific build/client to ensure the company is on track with profit/loss per project.
When I started out in Xero, and when all purchases were been entered in as drafts, when a certain reference was entered, such as the client name or job number, a running total was always displayed as to how much was spent on a particular build/client.
Ironically once the purchases were approved and/or paid, upon typing the same specific reference, would no longer provide a tally or what was spent, to be paid…

Make Receipt updatable via API
The documentation says:
PUT Receipts
The PUT method is similar to the POST Invoices method, however you can only create new receipts with this method.It would be great if I was able to update receipts with the PUT method.

Add a URL field to the CreditNote object to bring it in line with Invoice.
The CreditNote object has no URL field, unlike the Invoice object.
I suggest one is added which is clickable on browsing to the page for that credit note.

Provide API to retrieve Customer Invoice Reports
We'd like the ability to retrieve customer reports (as data and in PDF format). We could attempt to re-assemble the reports ourselves but for consistency we'd like to be able to retrieve them directly from Xero.

use consistent response structures
The addition of reporting a contact's balances was a great addition, however I feel the response structure should be consistent, regardless of balances. Where any balances are $0, this should be reported as $0, instead of being removed. By removing the key, we are left only being able to test for the absence of data, which creates an assumptive logic.
I understand that removing keys for null values might be part of your api design (ie no email address entered doesn't return an empty <EmailAddress>, but technically, a customer always has a balance so there for the Balances data should…

Be able to specify the company required at login
We are operating with multiple companies within a single Xero account. It would be more secure if we could pre-select a company rather than leaving it to the user to select one after they have logged on.
In PHP we call
$XeroOAuth->request('GET', $XeroOAuth->url('RequestToken', ''), $params);i.e. Can we include the company in the $params?

Expose Check Number(s) to API
Today, we use another system for writting checks and we need to add the check information to Xero.
The API allows us to create an invoice for the check and then upload the invoice. However, the API does not allow us to associate a bank account and then check number with the payment of the invoice.
I know that there is some reason that this the case. There could be an instance where a user tries to associate a previously used check number to the invoice payment. If Xero were to throw a blanket error (eg, "Some of the transactions…
