  1. Send Remittance Advice via API

    I would love to be able to send a remittance advice via API. There are a couple of scenarios where this is would be useful:
    1. Monitoring the bank feed for reconciled payments and sending the Remittance ass appropriate
    2. Generating a payment file from a list of invoices that are being paid and sending the remittance as appropriate

  2. UpdatedDateUTC to be updated on Contacts when a Contact Group is modified

    When a contact has been added or removed from a group, or when a group is changed the UpdatedDateUTC on the contact should also be change to reflect this.

  3. budget upload to Xero API

    It would be great to have an budget upload API.
    I'm using G-Accon to push data in Xero, it would be great to be able to push budgets too.
    Currently, Xero's budget manager is a bit rigid in its layout. However with G-Accon I could use a custom layout, or for example narrow down for a departmental budget, and then push to Xero.

  5. Create a transition plan for Reports via the API

    Xero will be retiring the old reports on July 31. By retiring the old reports, you also retire the only place where subscribers can affect the layout of the Profit and Loss report retrieved via the API. However, to date, you offer no replacement and no transition plan to your subscribers or developers.

    We use the Reports endpoint to retrieve data needed for our internal reporting. If not for the API, we'd be pulling and formatting seven reports to compile our monthly reporting. Today, if we add a new account or need to change the layout for the P&L retrieved…

  6. Sync 0.00 value invoices and credit notes from Stock&Buy to Xero

    Sync 0.00 value invoices and credit notes from Stock&Buy to Xero

    Some online orders will be synced to S&B with 0.00 value to ensure our stock are correct. We will add the sales invoices into Xero base on these orders fortnightly statement. These 0 value invoices can be synced to Xero, but the refunds can't. This will cause the inventory difference between S&B and Xero.

    Thank you.

  7. include the optionID in the "Get budgets" operation

    According to the developer reference here https://developer.xero.com/documentation/api/accounting/budgets
    The get budgets operation should include both the tracking category option name and ID.

    Currently, only the name comes through which means we are forced to name match unless we validate the names via a seperate API call before trusting that budgets are for specific options.

    This method we are forced to use does not account for name collisions.

  8. Provide a start and end date for budgets in the "Get Budgets" operation

    We are currently implementing a feature where we bring in divisional budgets.

    The companies we import into our product have data for a specific date range and we wish to filter out budgets for selection that do not have a date range that overlaps with the rest of the company data.

    Without the ability to do this our users will have to pick from any budget that is filtered by a tracking category option and if they choose one that doesn't overlap we will have to either

    • not connect the invalid budget in the first place and provide feedback as…

  11. Enhance endpoints such as Invoices to allow filtering on LineItems sub fields

    For performance purposes and to keep the amount of data in transit down, it would be good to enhance the Invoices and other endpoints to allowing filtering on LineItems.

    For instanced, AccountCode, ItemCode or TrackingCategories.

    This will allow devs to query a smaller subset rather than pull all invoices.

  12. enable creation of invoices from accepted quotes via API

    Once a quote has been ACCEPTED it would be very useful to then turn this into an Invoice via the API, as per the manual user task of pressing the "Create Invoice" in the Xero web portal.

  13. Add batch support to the Assets API

    CURRENTLY

    The Assets API only allows POST requests of one Asset at a time.

    ISSUE

    If you need to create a lot of assets, that's a lot of POST requests.

    SOLUTION

    Support batch POST requests e.g. Payload = { Assets: [ ...assets ] }

  14. Have addresses from the Fishbowl API be sent to the individual invoice rather than overriding the address in the contact screen

    Allow Xero to receive billing and shipping addresses directly as the billing and delivery address for an individual invoice rather then it being sent to the overall contact screen. This would allow for invoices to have different addresses on them for the same client depending on the order. If this worked correctly, we could then have that address tied to and saved to an individual invoice. Currently, we have to manually change the address on every single invoice as our clients have orders shipped all across the country and the world.

  17. 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.

  18. 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.

  19. 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.

  20. 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.
