  1. Change Credit Notes Editing

    When trying to complete a credit note you cant amend the amount on a invoice that has already received a payment this is frustrating as we run promotions all the time and it is annoying to have to either delete the invoice and reenter it or delete the payment and re enter it, this is more work load and it would be more benifical to be able to enter the amount that you are wanting to enter rather then it automatically deleting the amount outstanding on the invoice, will they be able to make this more user friendly by entering…

  2. New Feature - Internal Payment Gateway

    It would be great if there was an internal payment gateway system built into Xero which would allow us to store customer credit card information against their card file data masked so that it couldn't be re-read after being entered, and then trigger a payment against that card either from an invoice against that card or through the API. We do not want to have to store credit card details on our system nor are we keen to use an external credit card gateway which would still need us to store those details in the database somewhere. Storing the details…

  3. Add nested sorting feature

    When selecting transactions to match bulk bank payments the columns allow for only individual sorting. It would be nice to be able to sort by customer and date rather than just either. I suppose you could apply nested sorting to all column selecting areas of Xero.

  5. Client code field when setting up new clients

    Currently, there is a feature to add a client code for businesses who handle multiple clients. However this code can only be entered after the client is setup as a separate step. It would be quicker to optionally add the client code as part of the setup process.

  8. Be able to extract via API bank balances in Base Currency or in Foreign Currency of Bank Account

    Currently API can only get bank balances in Base Currency from Reports -> Bank Summary. This means it is all converted into the Base currency by XE.COM. There is no way to convert this back into the original currency, XE.COM rates are not available vis the API. There should be a way of getting the bank balance in the origin al currency.

  10. Importing Field Addition (POAttentionTo & ContactEmail) to the Default CSV

    Good Day All,

       Upon importing the default field "Email Address" or [EmailAddress] this field can only accept one and only one email address.  
   After the invoice has gone thru approval you have a To field when you select the 'Email' Buttion.  The sub field to this one is [ContactEmail] but when i added that to my CSV to be imported it was Ignored.

    Please Add [ContactEmail] to the import so after it is approved the billing manager doesn't need to add a "; [extra email address]" to every statement that it is needed for notification.

    Secondly, Xero has a field…

  11. Give the API the ability to provide the minimum of every report that Xero has

    I have found an awesome tool by Quick Win Development (http://www.quickwindevelopment.com/) that allows us to extract data via the API straight into Excel.

    Because 80% plus of the reports I ever generate in Xero are exported directly to Excel, please can Xero build into the API the ability to replicate every report currently supplied by Xero, as a bare minimum seeing as though the Reports are diabolical compared to other accounting systems. Particularly for me the P&L by month for a start/end date period.

    Thanks
    Murray

  12. Add SagePay to invoice payment gateway, they are one of the most popular in the UK.

    Sagepay is one of the most popular payment gateways used in the UK, it would be a huge benefit to add sagepay as an invoice payment method option in xero.

  14. to get the similar apis to update employee in 2.0 version

    I am able to create employee with first name and last name. I want to update the records with detailed information. But 2.0 version does not have that capability while 1.0 has it. ( http://developer.xero.com/documentation/payroll-api/employees/) .

    declined  ·  AdminXero Developer Platform (CEO / Founder, Xero Developer Centre) responded

    The Core accounting API employees endpoint (http://developer.xero.com/documentation/api/employees/) is very different and much more limited in function. It is related to the pay run function in Xero which is quite basic and there are no plans to make any changes to this.

    The Payroll API employee endpoint (http://developer.xero.com/documentation/payroll-api/employees/) is more extensive as it is an API to the Xero payroll application (currently only available in Australia).

    If you have more questions about using our APIs, they are best asked in our developer forum https://community.xero.com/developer/

  15. Provide a space for job address on a invoice for the building and construction industry

    I really need a space to enter in a job address for invoices as each invoice is allocated to a specific job.

  16. Add the "Analysis Code" field to the Bank Statement report end point

    The bank statement report API works great. For each bank line it has the date, amount, particulars, code and reference fields, however the "Analysis Code" field is not available, although it is available via the normal Xero interface on the Bank Statement view. Sometimes this field contains important transaction identifying information. Please make this available via the Report API.

  17. Create a customer credit limit field and be able to access as a y/n from the API so & I could automatically flag.

    I want to be able to freeze or restrict customers accounts in relation to orders or services if they exceed their credit limit on overdue balances.

    This is a very clear business need and I hope it could be integrated into your system as I believe it would add significant value to Xero

  18. Ability to merge accounts in the chart of accounts

    You can merge contacts, how about the ability to merge accounts, users will often create duplicate accounts and use both, rather than waste time recoding a bunch of transactions choose which accounts you want to merge

  19. Fix the Expense Claim dates

    The C# wrapper is looking for CreatedDateUTC, UpdatedDateUTC & Date but the API returns just UpdatedDateUTC and even this appears to be wrong in my testing (I get 2008-09-25T11:04:21.707).

    I'd like to see ReportingDate and PaymentDueDate.

  20. Automatic credit card billing for recurring invoices

    You currently allow invoices to be paid using credit card (DPS, PayPal etc).

    If it's a recurring invoice (particularly if it's monthly) it'd be great if the client could opt to be billed automatically by credit card.
