Start programming thing that really matter and really update the software
From almost 2 years I've seen NOTHING really happening to Xero. Looks the same, works the same, missing same things.
From initial hype went to total stagnation.6 votes -

Allow journals to be sent to Xero
For my business i cannot book all invoices straight to sales - i must book to prepayment then release prepayments to revenues. I want to be able to send via API the journals to release to sales, based on customer usage.
3 votesSorry – closed the earlier request for this when it was released . You can now enter DRAFT manual journals – see http://blog.xero.com/developer/api/manual-journals/

Credit Notes: apply as invoice payment & refund
At the moment, you can create a credit note via the API but you cannot:
- Apply the credit note as a payment to an invoice
- Apply a payment to the credit note (thus refunding the customer)100 votesXero API v2.28 has introduced support for credit note refunds via the Payments endpoint.
See http://developer.xero.com/documentation/api/v2-release-notes/ for examples
Applying credit notes to invoices was completed in a previous release.

Allow access to bank transactions through an API
Currently it is impossible to automatically check if transactions occurred as they should. It would be nice if there was an API that allowed transactions to be read so this checking can occur.
44 votesApologies for not marking this one complete sooner. You can use the BankStatement endpoint as part of our Reporting API’s to check imported bank statement lines – http://developer.xero.com/api/reports/#BankStatement

document api response from POST,PUT and DELETE not only GET.
i.e. on successful Contacts POST returned xml will be: <write>returned xml here</write>
while on failure, depending on the cause, the following errors can be returned:<error> possible error here</error>
And so on for all the methods in Contacts, Invoices etc.
Currently only the GET responses are documented.3 votesThis old issue has been fully addressed, but please feel free to let us know if there are any more documentation issues you spot.

GET Invoices & GET CreditNotes need more detail of credit notes
GET invoices currently only shows AmountCredited but not the specific detail. GET CreditNotes doesn't show which invoice the credit was applied to
31 votessee http://developer.xero.com/api/Credit-Notes/#GET . GET Credit notes shows details of allocations against invoices. GET Invoices shows details of which credit notes have been allocated against the invoice

Be able to see if an invoice has been emailed
At the moment the invoice Status field only shows draft/submitted/authorised/paid.
Would be realy great to be able to see if an invoice was emailed after authorisation, and also if the invoice has been emailed once fullpayment has been made.
Thanks
14 votesThe element on GET Invoices is a boolean to indicate if the invoice has been “marked as sent” in the app.

Notify URL When Stuff Changes in Xero - Webhooks
I'm requesting "web hooks" for the Xero API.
Here's how they work: Customer provides a URL (http://myserver.com/xero/changed) to Xero, and when something is changed, Xero notifies that URL, perhaps indicating which records have changed.
The Xero API provides methods that you can query and compare with previous results to see what has changed. However, this is not performant for large data sets, and detecting changes involves a lot of code.
The competition has it - web hooks are supported by QuickBooks. Let's get them in Xero - it's a superior product in every other way.
976 votesWe’re happy to announce that the invoice webhooks work has been completed! We now support both invoice and contact events.
We know there are lots of other events in Xero that would be useful to you as webhooks. To help us prioritise which ones to focus on next, please create separate suggestions and vote on the ones you’d like to see us implement. -

Allow attachments of PDF on payable invoices
Store supplier invoices with the invoice transaction in xero. Doubles as a storage system and makes retrieval much easier. Worth paying the upper price plan for
118 votesWe have released the ability to attach files to AP invoices today: http://blog.xero.com/developer/v2-release-notes/
There have been some comments about adding attachments to other documents in Xero. For now, only receipts and AP invoices are supported as in the main application, but any changes to this in the main application, we will work to reflect in the API.
Any questions about using the attachment functionality, feel free to ask a question in our forum: https://community.xero.com/developer/
Thanks

Allow you to specify the tax on an invoice rather than have Xero calculate it
The system I use for generating invoices calculates tax on the subtotal rather than each line as Xero does. Because Xero applies rounding to 2dp on each line items tax total then sometimes the total tax does not match my system. I need to be able to enter invoices so the totals match my system
9 votesWhen you include the optional TaxAmount element on line items Xero will use your value rather than re-calculating it.

Integrate Magento into Xero.
I mean, it's only the fastest growing and one of the most widely used ecommerce softwares available today. Many people on the Magento forums have been asking for a solution to accounting and Xero would be perfect. (I know that there is already a company that created an integrator, but they charge a monthly fee! It's just one more unnecessary monthly expense)
18 votesWe currently have three add-on partners that provide Magento integration listed in our add-ons directory: Carry the One, Unleashed and Fooman. Check them out here: http://www.xero.com/advisors/solutions/ecommerce/

Please provide response types in JSON
Please considering providing response types in JSON as JSON is much easier to process in PHP. Please consider doing this but letting us append an extension to the URL, i.e.
https://api.xero.com/api.xro/2.0/Accounts.json
https://api.xero.com/api.xro/2.0/Accounts.xml
https://api.xero.com/api.xro/2.0/Accounts (defaults to xml)This approach would let you support other response types too.

Define a schema for the final version 2 REST services
Currently no schemas exist on the developer release of the Xero REST services. Many languages provide useful tools for XML serialization that require a schema. Providing a schema will allow developers to integrate with Xero quickly, as well as ensure that the data format is consistent.
6 votesWe have been supporting and maintaining a schema for a while now: https://github.com/XeroAPI/XeroAPI-Schemas
Please check the readme for some usage warnings.
We will communicate any change to our schema project support via a developer update: http://blog.xero.com/subscribe-to-the-xero-api-developer-mailing-list/
