Update Repeating invoices via the API
It's great that we can create and delete repeating invoices via the API, but we also need the ability to update them, especially options such as ApprovedForSending, Next Invoice Date, and Due Date.

Ability to configure the email (to, subject & message) when creating repeating invoices via the API
It's great to see that creating and deleting repeating invoices is now available in the API. However, there was one crucial thing that was missed: There is no ability to create/define the EMAIL MESSAGE that gets sent with the repeating invoice.
The documentation mentions “You can use the API to trigger the email of an approved repeating sales invoice out of Xero by setting the ApprovedForSending to true and the status to AUTHORISED.”
The API has the fields SendCopy, MarkAsSent and IncludePDF, but there is no ability to define the actual content of the email.
This has somehow been missed.

Get, Post and Delete project Expenses
Currently, project endpoints are only available for projects, tasks and time. Unfortunately, expense for projects aren't available. Projects are an important feature for many businesses including construction and I've had numerous clients request this. This information can only be pulled via a detailed project report but the layout and format are very limited. So if the client would like to integrate the data to a CRM or format it a particular way they aren't able to.

Customisation of packing slip
There needs to be a simple way of customising the inbuilt packing slip (and accessing it) rather than having to go in and change the view.
Or can you please amend it to at least include a signatory section for the recipient to sign as Proof of Collection and change the name to Delivery Note.

deferred
Our business uses deferred income, and my accounts person makes an excel sheet everything month to calculate it (I only discovered this the other day)
Having revied the invoice API, it would be awesome if
1) A field called diferredincome to the invoice item, so that we can flag an invoice on creation as diferred, and export that information via the api. The field value would be number of months. E.g. a difered invoice over a year would have the value of 12.
2) Create a diferred income report using this data.
3) Create the journal entried for the diferred…

Search for a purchase order number using the API which includes a forward slash
We are creating purchase orders in Xero which have a purchase order in the format of: 'ABCDE/123'. These are coming from DataBuild. When using the PurchaseOrders API endpoint, we are unable to search for purchase orders due to the forward slash character. Have tried using various escape characters in the API call, but it does not work. The Xero API Explorer also fails when running the same call against the PurchaseOrders endpoint, yet the purchase order exists in Xero. We would like to be able to search for purchase orders using escape characters.

automatically insert a Pay Now button when an invoice is emailed to a customer via the API POST function
Currently the Xero API allows us to trigger the emailing of a Xero invoice to the customer via a POST command.
If a Payment Service is already set up in Xero, the emailed invoice should automatically include the Pay Now button.

Allow 20 characters in Phone Number field in New Zealand and UK
Problem:
The Xero phone number field only supports 13 characters in New Zealand and the UK. We have build an integration between Xero and BambooHR that is used by mutual companies in Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom. It has become a global necessity to keep mobile phone numbers with a country prefix. 13 characters, your current Xero limit, is not long enough and needs to be lengthened.
Solution:
We propose that Xero allows 20 characters in this field as BambooHR and many other companies now do.
Benefit:
Happy mutual customers who can data entry effectively important communication numbers.…

Practice Manager API returns the Last Modified Since value which you can search for
The Practice Manager API allows you to restrict the list to anything that has been modified since a particular date. The issue is that the value isn't returned on the response.
We would like that field to be returned so we have visibility on the exact last modified time.

modifiedsince=yyyy-MM-ddTHHss
Thank you

On Attachment of supplier invoice against PO, update the POs UpdatedDateUTC
Upon Uploading a file to a Purchase Order in Xero the UpdatedDateUTC value does not update.
We are looking to pull all files linked to POs into our system and currently need to send a list of POs to check for attachments against, instead of easily knowing which PO has an attachment added since the last time we completed an API call.

Add If-Modified-Since optional parameter to Xero Projects APIs
We are trying to sync customer's Tasks across Xero Projects, currently we have to poll for all Tasks on each Project. Some customers are using 200+ 'active' (state= INPROGRESS) projects, however they are only adding 5-10 Tasks a day spread across these projects.
If we were able to query the /projects endpoint with a 'If-Modified-Since' parameter (or header) and the result only contained projects either updated direct or those that had associated Tasks added/edited, then we would only need to call /projects/:id/tasks for those ProjectId's, likewise if this endpoint also could be queried with
If-Modified-Sincethen only those new Tasks…1 vote -
Long lived tokens for testing purposes
Our challenge is with our test and verification setup: we have 4 stages of pre-production environments and every environment runs CI (Jenkins) with full tests each night and relevant tests with each code push. With this setup it is very challenging to share and update shared refresh tokens.
We would like long lived tokens (access and/or refresh) for testing purposes only.
Other services we work with have been able to change settings on app/client id level.1 vote -

Reconciliation API
It is very important to add an API that would allow us to pull the reconciliation data in order to connect it to our customized platform where we can add more AI logic which will make reconciliation much faster and easier.
We can pull all bills and invoices, and it would be great if we can integrate the reconciliation of Xero in order. this way our developers can implement the logic that works for our business15 votes -

Short-term cash flow - include draft invoices
I love the new cash flow feature, but I would love the option (a tick box that you could turn on and off) to include draft invoices.
When I set up a client we sent 3 invoices. I usually send the first, and make the next two as drafts. But this means these are not included in the cash flow projection.
I would love to be able to see these included or at least an option to choose to see them included.
