  2. The majority of our invoices are for many hundred thousands of units, each of which cost something like USD$0.00015.

    The API currently rounds this LineAmount to 0.00 then complains that my total doesn't equal the sum of the lines.

  4. Retrieve reports such as P&L, trial balance & budget by tracking category.

    Our customers have requested for the ability to import their tracking categories from Xero into our program for reporting purposes. Any idea when the API will support this?

    Thanks for your votes everyone. We have released the ability to retrieve the P&L and balance sheet reports by tracking today: http://blog.xero.com/developer/v2-release-notes/

    While budgets by budget (tracking) is available within the main Xero application, we were unable to fit that into this release – we have a new uservoice request thread if you still want to see this feature (http://xero.uservoice.com/forums/5528-xero-api/suggestions/3267328-budget-summary-report-by-budget) but we hope most of you will find the above sufficient.

  5. Be able to create and manage repeating invoices (http://help.xero.com/#Accounts_RepeatingInvoice) via the API.

  6. I am a linux 64 bit user, and therefore I need to use flash 11 (since flash 10.x is only 32 bit). Flash 11 is already on release candidate stage and I use flash sites everywhere without problem. But when I try to use xero it says "You dont have flash player installed".

    Sorry for the late reply, this was missed as it is not an API request, but I can confirm the flash detection issue was fixed a couple of weeks ago.

  7. 1) include transaction source and id to be able to link back to the source document of the journal eg AP/AR invoice etc 2) allow endpoint to be filtered by accounting date to be able to get just a certain period.

  8. Any chance Xero will support oAuth2.0 ?

    oAuth1.0 and it's payload signing doesn't work very well in various environments including node.js

    With rest of the world moving to oAuth 2.0 - I hope XERO does too

  9. At present any invoice either imported or brought in via API can only be in the base currency. This means for any foreign currency invoice the user has to click into every single invoice and change the currency manually and then save. This is to say the lease a tad tedious, especially given it is a multi-currency system.

  10. When you GET a Contact via the API you are returned the ContactGroups that they belong to. But if you try and update their ContactGroups with a PUT or POST the API will just ignore the ContactGroups XML element.

    It would be really useful for automating the organisation of Contacts, if you allowed us to update the ContactGroups for a Contact in a similar way that you can add LineItems to an Invoice.

    Hi everyone,

    The functionality to send sales invoices via email is now open to all apps.

    Check out the docs here: https://developer.xero.com/documentation/api/invoices#email

    There’s more functionality we could add around emailing but I’m going to close this request. Please feel free to create new specific requests for any additional email functionality you’d like to see going forward.

    Cheers,
    Adam

  13. Our clients don't pay invoices if they are unhappy with one of the LineItems. As we like to be able to reconcile payments quickly all invoices are authorised as soon as they are in Xero. Which means they then can not be modified via the API without running around xero doing all sorts.

  17. Specifically the tax rate components that make up a tax rate i.e. the name, the rate and compounding indicator, this is very useful information for our application

  18. That will allow consumer apps to differentiate services based on the authenticated user (e.g. ACLs with app specific permissions).

    This suggestion is well overdue for an update!

    Support for updating the chart of the accounts was released back on the 4th of May.

    We also have the Setup endpoint for the bulk creation of chart of accounts. See the conversions guide for more details on that http://developer.xero.com/documentation/api-guides/conversions/.

    The only outstanding functionality is to be able to update bank accounts. I’ve created another post to track demand for that specific feature:
