  1. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. As far as I can tell you can't get contactGroups when doing a GET request for all contacts. You can only retrieve them when requesting a singular contact.

  6. According to the http://blog.xero.com/developer/api/BankTransactions/ page, "This endpoint does not return payments applied to invoices or transfers between bank accounts".

    While there is a separate API for payments to invoices, one doesn't exist for Bank Transfers. Please can it be added?

  7. It would be great if the Organisation's addresses were available in the response message of GET Organisation, just like the addresses that are available in the response message of GET Contact.

  8. Attachments (one actually) are permitted for Receipts and Accounts Payable. They would also be very useful for Accounts Receivable (invoices to be sent to customers).

    Common attachments to be emailed with the Invoice are timesheets, quotes, and copies of acceptance certificates.

    Attachments help getting the customer to approve an invoice, in turn helping to get the cash back faster.

  9. The current budget summary API report (http://blog.xero.com/developer/api/reports/#BudgetSummary) returns the overall budget summary report. Within Xero, you can create additional budgets which can be filtered by tracking category. This request is to:
    - Provide a Budgets API endpoint
    - Allow the budget summary report be filtered by budget

    Hi all,

    The GET budgets endpoint is now live, but is available exclusively to App Partners who have migrated to OAuth 2.0 and entered into the new App Partner Program https://devblog.xero.com/getting-ready-for-xeros-refreshed-app-partner-program-6e09fa36fce8

    The retrieve budgets functionality will be generally available to all integrations on OAuth 2.0 from April 2021.

    Note: the new App Partner Program is currently under invite-only Beta with full launch expected to be late 2020.

    Checkout the documentation here https://developer.xero.com/documentation/api/budgets

    Thanks

  10. The ability to set a random identifier on invoice items, on an item by item basis.

    The identifier could be anything from a numeric ID, to a 32 character hash

  11. Xero has recently released online invoicing functionality within the main application (http://help.xero.com/#OnlineInvoices).

    Be able to retrieve the online invoicing URL via the Xero API.

    Note that this URL is only generated when the invoice is emailed within the Xero application. Exposing this field will be of limited value until further work is done to be able to email an invoice from Xero via the API (but that is a separate issue).

  15. It would be good if you could page through a results set.

    Use Case:

    I want to be able to return the latest 5 approved invoices.

    Given that I don't know when they were created I can't use a filter on any of the date fields and it would be a waste of bandwidth to get all approved invoices a simple pagination system would work well.

  17. Allowing developers the ability to programatically access the GST type would allow us to create applications that allow accountants the ability to efficiently & automatically group entity types for easier reporting.

  19. The main Xero application now allows the application of a discount on a line item. While discounts on line items can be retrieved via the API (GET) it is not possible to create a discount via the API (PUT/POST). Add your votes here if this is something you would like to see.
