  1. I’ve an insurance app called Modern Risk Solutions that allows users (whether business or personal) to submit requests for insurance quotes.

    See link: https://itunes.apple.com/hk/app/modern-risk-solutions-incident/id616505814?mt=8

    I’d like to be able to PULL information via Xero from business entities for the following fields:

    • Name

    • Years in business
    • Numbers of employees
    • Current year revenue/turnover
    • Claims or losses in the last 5 years
    • Total replacement cost of all assets
    • Target price/budget

    We’d like the ability to pull the information from Xero via a Connect with Facebook style login…

  3. At the moment, they can't be set as far as I can see and so every time I pull in an inventory item those two fields are blank and have to be set manually. For certain inventory items those two fields are always the same. In Sage you could press F6 to set from the cell above which would have been a workaround but here I have no choice but to do everything manually each time.

  4. There needs to be a box to tick to indicate the asset is subject to the vehicle cost limit, so depreciation is not calculated on the whole cost

  5. AT the moment, once you have approved a line of an expense, you can never edit it again. If you get the VAT code wrong, there is no way of changing it. If you haven't approved the entire invoice, you can cancel the claim - but then you can't reenter it - you have to get your employee to do this all over again. If you have approved the claim - there is nothing you can do.

    Please fix this - I don't understand why we haven't got the same editing abilities in the Expenses section as we do in…

  8. I have clients who, when they bill their clients, are required to submit spreadsheets, copies of documents etc WITH their invoice - many state and government jobs require this. It would be great if it could be done within Xero rather than go out to the "normal" email to send both the Xero invoice and the attached documents.

  9. Xero now has an integrated Workpapers application (http://www.xero.com/workpapers). This is a placeholder to track requests and potential use cases so we can evaluate development of this feature.

  13. Provide API to get report Sales By Item. because it will help to analyse sales by Item (Product). Now we can generate the report but I don't see API to get report data as other financial report.

  14. Once an invoice is approved, it should have the facility to "revert it back to draft"

    It is because of the reason that mostly, my client ask me to approve the invoice and then says that it's not yet approved and then i don't have the facility, ultimately it is showing in our accounts that an overdue invoice is available, which is actually not yet approved.

    Xero should facilitate us in such a way.

    Thanks
    Hassan

  16. It would be nice to beable to take a payment over the phone using a virtual terminal from within Xero.

    Adding a take payment now button when an invoice is approved and adding a payment gateway such as sagepay for this would be very useful.

    For developers looking to integrate a payment system themselves (including SagePay) they can do so using this guide we have provided: http://developer.xero.com/documentation/api-guides/payment-services-integration-with-xero/

    While providing an integration to SagePay as part of our payment services feature in Xero is not currently on the roadmap, you can raise and vote on a feature request for it in our Xero community: https://community.xero.com/business/topic/23/

  17. Challenge:

    We love using Xero there are so many pluses! But…we also use add-ons which integrate with Xero. When information is pushed and pulled through, if our clients have misspelt their company name, or even written Limited as Ltd (or vice versa) it creates a whole new client in Xero even if the client currently exists (eg.if purchasing tickets through Eventbrite). We have three integrations going so this can happen three different times and for our administrators and accounts team…a logistical nightmare .

    Solution:

    I’m pretty sure a code can be developed that recognizes elements in a company name (or…

  19. Send an automatic reminder notice after, either, 7 days, 14 days, and/or 21 days once the invoice gets overdue. We should have the facility to choose number of reminder notices. Have the facility to generate reminder notice report.

    We sent several invoices everyday and it is hard for us to remember to send a notice to clear their overdue payments

    My client needed this system in xero and he was depressed when he heard that it's not yet developed in xero.

    Good news! Work is almost complete for invoice reminders in Xero so look out for it in the app very soon.

    I’m closing this particular suggestion as it seems to relate to Xero in general rather than the Xero API. General Xero suggestions are best placed here https://community.xero.com/business/discussion/50961/

    If anyone voting for this issue has any API specific suggestions for invoice reminders then please feel free to post it as a new idea.

    Regards,
    Adam

  20. Simple thing, just give option for copying/bcc'ing others, especially for clients who specify that you do this.
