Increase rate limit (or allow details to be included in invoices, etc)
This is especially important for an initial sync of a new customer with our product as we need every invoice in the database (including the PDFs, which we are happy to trickle into the system over time).

Full Account details must be available with Invoice record
When GET invoice called using API, we get only ContactId and Contact Name. Here full contact details must be available so that if contact is not available in local database we can insert new one.

Cash Sale e-commerce
Where is the API for a cash sale? ie. a paid up in full sale made online e-commerce in realtime, do you have to raise an invoice against a customer called Cash Sale? NZ delivery addresses have GST inclusive, and Offshore addresses are GST zero rate. will the api look at the country field and do this for you?

use Contacts' tax details on invoices
This almost seems to be a bug, since the Xero web interface works differently than the API.
In the "Tax" section for a Contact, the help message states: "Each account you code an invoice to will have a default rate as specified in the Chart of Accounts but if you have specified a rate for the Contact here, this rate will override the default rate from the Chart of Accounts."
This works when adding an invoice using the web interface, but adding an invoice using the API results in the wrong tax type and wrong calculated total.

Remove populated FullyPaidOnDate after payment is reversed
If a payment is applied to an invoice the FullyPaidOnDate is populated correctly and appears through the API.
However, when a payment is reversed on a previously fully paid invoice, the FullyPaidOnDate will not be removed from the XML result through the API, regardless of the fact that the invoice is not fully paid.

Allow the use of Reference or InvoiceNumber on Invoices endpoint for AP invoices
Currently you have to use the InvoiceNumber element and the Reference element is ignored.
0 votesAs this reflects how the main application works, there will be no change forthcoming here.

Allow split of single payment to multiple Invoices via API
For customers who's payment gateway settles the days total takings into your bank account in one lump sum at the end of the day, making single payment against single invoices via API is no good. It would be great to be able to recieve a payment to a bank account and split that payment to be applied against multiple invoices.
25 votesThere seem to be a few different requirements here, I want to see what we can do to help:
- We have prepared a guide on an easy way to handle payments where you have multiple invoices, but one lump some payment from a payment processor into your bank: http://blog.xero.com/developer/handling-payment-processor-receipts-in-xero/- Another solution would be for users of the API be able to create a bank feed themselves from a payment service. You can vote for this API feature request here: http://xero.uservoice.com/forums/5528-xero-api/suggestions/340274-import-bank-statement-lines-via-the-api
There are other questions that point more towards Xero feature requests rather than API functionality. I recommend you request these in our community forum: https://community.xero.com/business/topic/23/
I will close out this request and we can continue the conversation in the links above.

Enable edit Tax code or transaction amount
Changing posted account is good, but to change date, Tax Code or amount required delete transaction and re-enter it.
1 voteAssuming this refers to Invoices, we have no plans to change what you can edit on approved invoices with payments applied as this forms part of the main application audit trail.

Thanks for the suggestion!
Unfortunately we have no current plans to provide a “Surrender to MYOB” API function! -

Provide api functions to generate reports.
I find the reports available in xero very minimal, especially compared to those my accountant are used to from Simply Accounting. Consequently, I wish there were an API I could use to generate my own reports rather than hope that the xero team will implement the exact report that my accountant is requesting.
13 votesSince this request has been opened a lot of extra functionality has been provided, including reports by tracking for P&L and balance sheet: http://developer.xero.com/documentation/api/reports/
There are still a number of features we could improve on, and a number of these exist as distinct feature requests in this forum. We suggest adding your votes to those requests so we can close out this generic feature request which is difficult to define/act on.

Import bank statement lines via the API
Be able to import bank statement lines into a bank account in Xero. This would be useful for custom bank accounts or banks that do not have a direct feed into Xero
997 votesThanks for your continued feedback and patience on this long-standing request. Our team has started to build this out, and we’re looking forward to sharing more as development and testing progresses.
This release will support ingestion of bank statement data via the Bank Feeds API for accounts where a bank feed has not been established and allow customers to automate the current manual file upload process.
As part of this work, we’ll be running a beta with a small group first (from mid June) so we can test the experience and gather feedback before broader availability. We’ll continue to post updates here as we reach key milestones.

email to invoice gateway
not sure if it is possible, but what about an email to invoice gateway.
have an email address invoices@xero.com
i can email any invoices i get to that address and it automatically populates a draft invoice in xero, based on the from address of the senderobviously you would need to have a bit of security, like a cryptic email address to send the invoices too, and it would be difficult to parse all invoices formats, but not impossible.
even if it pulled out the generic details of each invoice, eg invoice no, from, date, total, it would save a…

Credit Card payment API
Store encrypted credit cards for customers and be able to initiate (through the invoice API) credit card payment via any credit card processor's API. Paypal Web Payments Pro would be good out of the box but ideally would be set up to work with most standard APIs.
50 votesI think it is a good idea to close this suggestion out as it is not a direction we wish to take for now. Over the next 2 quarters we will be looking to deliver improvements within the application in terms of development of online invoicing and supporting more payment processors, but a credit card payment API is not something we will be looking to do within a 0-3 year timeframe, so declining this suggestion.

Expose everything via the API
Everything visible in the web interface should be exposed via the API. In fact ideally the web interface itself would be a client of the API, which would ensure that all useful technology is exposed.
223 votesWe’re closing this request out and asking that developers suggest or vote for the specific features you’re after as it’s easier to get feedback to you on each request this way and also free up your votes. I’d like to reassure you we’re committed to offering the best API we can.

make Xero contacts available over LDAP
Xero could export contacts via LDAP for integration with VOIP caller ID, email addressbooks and access control systems.
2 votesWhile I think it is a cool idea, it is not our model to provide specific technology interfaces like LDAP – it should be quite straightforward to connect to our API, return contacts in XML, and then make them available over LDAP with your own code.

Allow third party apps to plug into the Xero interface
If the Xero interface could be configured to display data from and interact with the apps third party developers are creating similar to the way Facebook applications work inside their platform
34 votesIt is certainly a nice idea in a lot of ways, and Jesse’s use case example is good one.
On the other side, allowing 3rd party applications plug into the core Xero application present some quite major security implications. The data we hold on behalf of our customers is considered highly sensitive by us and we ensure we have bank level security across all aspects of our application.
Second to that, we are a design lead and focused company – we want our software to be really easy to use and remain simple and intuitive, so allowing 3rd parties to introduce interface elements into Xero would be something we would need to carefully plan for.
With this in mind, it would be quite an onerous task for us to implement a secure framework that would allow 3rd party applications to interface within Xero, in a sensible way that does not…

be an aggregator for bank transactions in New Zealand
This is a challenge for SaaS financial apps in New Zealand, both for small business and personal finance. Since Xero already integrates with banks, it would be great to be able to procure transactions through you via a standardised API :-)

Could Xero grab a RSS feed periodically to enter invoices
Rather than having a system push data to Xero , Xero could be set to subscribe to an RSS feed that is in the correct format to add invoices.
1 voteThis doesn’t fit with out API model.
