Allow attachments in other than DRAFT status
From http://developer.xero.com/documentation/api/attachments/
"Attachments can only be attached to documents that are of status DRAFT"
This is a little annoying, it means we have to create the invoice in DRAFT, add the attachments, then transition the invoice to SUBMITTED or AUTHORISED.
Can Xero remove this restriction?
2 votesToday we released the ability to attach files at additional statuses. For details on how you can use it, see our Attachments documentation: http://developer.xero.com/documentation/api/attachments/

Add ability to retrieve "ARCHIVED" contacts using WHERE clause

Add the new multiple email address functionality to API
Hi there,
A recent update to Xero now allows for multiple email addresses for each contact to be added. It would be great we could add multiple email addresses through the API, mirroring this process.
Many thanks

update tracking category for PAID invoice via api
Since the operator has the ability to update any PAID invoice's tracking category and account code for any line items, then it should be also doable via API.

I can see you can GET the payments terms of a contact and the organisation defaults, but I'd like to be able to set these via the API too

allow Invoices to show line items
Currently you can only retrieve line items by specifying a single invoice. Please make the functionality similar to the journals and allow the data to be paged using an offset of some sort.

Enable the upcoming Purchase Order module to link to outside applications
My company has an app that services a very large niche market- all of those clients (tens of thousands) also need accounting. Our current app has rudimentary accounting in it but we are seeking to set up a sync with a dedicated cloud-app for all the accounting. Purchase Orders are crucial to this niche market and if we could sync them with Xero via api it would make a huge difference.
(Provide GET/PUT/POST PurchaseOrders endpoint)
607 votesToday we’ve released POST PurchaseOrders so you can now update purchase orders via the API: http://developer.xero.com/documentation/api/v2-release-notes/#2.191
These means you can now retrieve, create, update and delete (via an update) purchase orders using the API.
Thanks for you patience everyone, we know it’s been a long time coming!

fix the Profit and Loss report via the API to support periods and timeframe
The Profit & Loss report via the API will only show a summarized total for the timeframe specified which is inconsistent with the P&L report available on the website. Adding 'periods' and 'timeframe' parameters similar to the Budget Summary report should resolve the issue.

You can add copies of invoices and dockets to AP transactions, but can't add copies to Spend money transactions. Should be able to do this.
You can add copies of invoices and dockets to AP transactions, but you can't add copies of dockets and receipts to Spend money transactions. If we are going to keep all records along with the transactions, we need to be able to do this.

Support for attachments on bank transactions was added back on May 29, 2014.

enable sending multiple invoices to the same address as one message
I haven't been able to find a way in which I can send multiple invoices to the same contact as one email message rather than individually. I wouldn't imagine this would be difficult to do and am surprised I have not been able to find a way to do this.
This would be useful when there is a quantity of invoices to go out at the same time. Currently I have fear of overcrowding the customers inbox.

Add DELETE functionality to things like Items and Accounts
Currently we can populate items and accounts through API calls but we cannot remove them using a delete API call.
I understand if an Item is being referenced withing an Invoice Item it probably can't be deleted, but would like the ability to at least flag the item or account so that it can no longer be used.
12 votesThe ability to delete item was released on November 18th 2015. – http://developer.xero.com/documentation/api/v2-release-notes/#2.160
