  1. Implement support for the reference field in the new Overpayment and Prepayment Endpoints

    The addition of Overpayment and Prepayment endpoints, for us is still not functional with the addition of the reference field in these. Without this there is no robust way to save a prepayment at one point in time, then be able to look this prepayment up later to be used for allocation purposes.

    Same problem for Overpayments.

    Hope this can be added very soon as we are looking forward to the XERO api having proper Prepayment support.

  2. Expose <CurrencyRate> on GET multiple BankTransfers or support paging on the endpoint so all elements will be returned.

  3. Include statementLineID in Bank Statement report

    In lieu of a Bank Statement endpoint, including the statementLineID in Bank Statement report would be really helpful

    We present a view of the Xero bank statement and show the bank account balance in some of our reports. It's difficult to reliably keep the bank statement in sync without some kind of unique ID on the statement line.

  4. Be able to Allocate CreditNotes while creation

    Right now, the only way to allocate a CreditNote to an Invoice is via a single API call to <url>/CreditNoteID/Allocations
    This severely limits the capability to have multiple allocations (exclusive) done at the same time. It would be wonderful to allocate CreditNotes to Invoices while their creation.

  5. Allow Bulk allocations via API

    Right now, if we want to allocate multiple invoices to CreditNotes, the only possible way is to have an API call for individual Allocation.

    It would be very helpful if we could have a bulk Allocation API available. Where all the allocations can be made (One to Many or Many to Many) in a single API call.

  6. Ability to send a sales invoice from Xero to Xero via API

    To be clear this is about sending invoices to a contact via their Xero network key: https://help.xero.com/uk/SalesInvoiceX2X.

    This is distinct from sending invoices via email: http://xero.uservoice.com/forums/5528-xero-core-api/suggestions/1930769-be-able-to-email-approved-invoices-via-the-api

  8. deposit

    Create Batch Deposits -
    https://help.xero.com/au/BatchDepositCreate
    Does the API support this specific function? Is there a functional issue as to why this is not supported, or just never requested/not enough votes??
    Apologies if it is supported - I could not find it anywhere on developer pages etc.
    THANKS

  9. Delete Payments to AR and AP CreditNote via API

    In Version 2.74 on Dec 8, 2014, added new feature delete a payment.

  10. Supply <Attachments> elements in standard endpoints when `page` is given

    Currently, it seems that you need to make a separate call to get <Attachments>. Being able to get this supplied on the standard invoices/bank transactions/manual journals/credit notes endpoints when page is given would help lower the number of API calls without much increasing the amount of data sent.

  12. 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.

  14. provide API access to contact Statements!

  15. Open up the Pay Run (Global) to the API

    It is currently not possible to get/post/push data related to the payrun for the global edition. This limits integration with systems who can help with the administration of the payroll.

  17. 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…

  18. 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…

  19. 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.

  20. 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.
