  1. The journals.xsd is not amongst the scheme files that you can download. Why is this missing?

  2. Example http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/6735/invoicelinebreaksexampl.png

    Add the ability to enter invoice items without specifying quantity, unit price or anything else. And have all these fields blank on the invoice. You can already do this through xero, just not via the API.

    Perhaps some sort of line seperator item?

  4. Errors on the api just return 400 bad request, no matter what it is. Previewer gives detailed info on the failure. Can you return that sort of info tot he api, or have a parameter to send in the xml to allow that debug info to be returned.

  5. 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.

  7. 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.

  9. 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)

  11. 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.

  12. 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.

  13. GET invoices currently only shows AmountCredited but not the specific detail. GET CreditNotes doesn't show which invoice the credit was applied to

  14. 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

  15. 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.

    We’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.

  16. Have the ability get get payments via the PaymentID and also create payments via POST

    We 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

  20. 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
