  1. Currently, we have no idea which user connected via OAuth. In other platforms (QB for once), you get details (especially email) of the user, and can design behavior based on it. In Xero, we get all the data on the users (with the new email address field), but we don't which user connected. If this will be exposed, it will give the developers more tools to create a more specific experience for the users

  3. IsReconciled is included in the Payment API, but is not included when multiple payments are returned.

    This would be exceedingly useful for monitoring which payments have been reconciled, without having to individually request their entire details details in separate API requests.

  4. Sometimes clients amend a payrun but forget to replace the Bill Payable for that payrun in the GL.
    This can result in discrepancies between wages, PAYG, super (and other) and the GL reports.
    Would be nice to automate some of this checking, even highlight any months (or specific bills) that did not match payroil

  5. 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?

  6. The only way to currently check which contacts have been deleted is to make an API call for each. See https://community.xero.com/developer/discussion/24201/

  7. 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
    David

  8. 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.

  9. Develop a Files API that will let you perform actions like querying the files inbox, create folders in the inbox, upload new files to the inbox, associate files in the inbox with documents (like invoices, SM, RM's etc).

  15. 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

  16. 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.

  17. 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)

  18. 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.

  19. 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.

  20. Expose the organisation and contact default due dates on GET Organisation and GET Contact respectively. Xero now supports setting default due dates on an organisation wide or per contact basis.

    You can now retrieve the default payment terms for an organisation and also for a specific contact. See http://developer.xero.com/documentation/api/organisation/ and http://developer.xero.com/documentation/api/contacts/

    Support for updating these via the API will come in a later release – please vote on this other request – http://xero.uservoice.com/forums/5528-xero-api/suggestions/4376082-set-payment-terms-via-the-api
