Reconcile via the API
Be able to reconcile bank statement lines via the API.
711 votesHi everyone,
Firstly, apologies – it’s obvious from the continuing comments that we declined this request too hastily and without the explanation it deserved.
We know that reconciling would be a valuable API feature, but reconciling requires fine grained access to bank statement data and unfortunately we’re not able to share that data via the API for commercial reasons.
At Xero we’re passionate about having an open API and providing small businesses with open access to their data. Unfortunately, many of the partners we rely on for statement data don’t share the same ideals.
Hopefully change is coming in the form of open banking. However, it will be a long time before we can openly share statement data via the API and provide a decent reconciliation experience to third-party apps. For that reason we will unfortunately leave this request as ‘declined’.
For the immediate future, we’re busy doing some really…

As this forum is for developer API functionality requests and yours relates to something that would need to happen in the main application, I’m afraid we have to decline this suggestion, but don’t take it personally – we would still love to see you make your suggestion in the Xero Community forum: https://community.xero.com/business/

repeating
Make it so repeating invoices can be put on hold - I don't like having to delete them and recreate them later when we put a service on hold. It leaves the door open for mistakes.
Cheers

Instant Search Box
In my previous software (WHMCS) there was a "Instant Search" fuction which you could type a Invoice Number, Quote Number, Credit Note, or even client name and it would bring up there details instantly if you press enter, or you could see a list of matching results (Like google instant search) and the click the one you want.
I Think this would be the icing on the cake for me, I LOVE Xero so much, this is the only function it is currently missing.1 voteAs this forum is for developer API functionality requests and yours relates to something that would need to happen in the main application, I’m afraid we have to decline this suggestion, but don’t take it personally – we would still love to see you make your suggestion in the Xero Community forum where there is already a thread for this: https://community.xero.com/business/discussion/55791/

Fix bug to allow the tax overrides specified for inventory items to be used when creating invoices.
When you specify a tax override for individual inventory items, they are not applied when creating the invoice via the API (it still uses the accounts tax settings). They are only applied when creating the invoice manually.

Company wide integration
Hi I am setting up a new business and I wanted to ask on here the best way to setup the platform from the ground up for a single company wide visible business starting from the Xero base. Can I add salesforce CRM, Google documents etc. There are obviously really expensive ERP that do this but I am wondering if there is a way of doing this with cloud
1 voteHi Matthew
I will have to decline this posting as this forum is for developers to make feature requests for the developer API, so not the best place to ask.
It would be great if you posted your question in the Xero small business forum though: https://community.xero.com/business/topic/22/ – you will get some useful answers from others, and I will be happy to jump in and give some advice too.

Make the 3-legged authorization process compatible with WP7
I'd love to build an WP7 application for the Xero platform, however the step that involves navigating to the login page which is required to complete the OAuth process is blank on WP7 browsers.
30 votesThere are no plans to support WP specifically, but the API should be able to accommodate most use cases.

tracking
Add an additional tracking code. Currently there are only 2 and adding a 3rd would be a great benefit.

Create Bank Rule's for Bank Transfers
Add a 3rd option for Bank Rules.
Allow for transferring to a specified account.EG: I transfer money from my PayPal to my main account only.
OR
EG: I transfer money from my Skrill account to my main account only.And would like these to be reconciled even easer with automated bank rules.
69 votesIt sounds like this is a request for the core Xero product and not the API. As such I’m closing this particular request.
Please add your general Xero requests here: https://community.xero.com/business/discussion/104451
The good news is that bank rules for bank transfers is being worked on currently! Subscribe to that thread for updates.

Allow Bank Rules to Find & Match
I have lost of customers who make payments "on account" against one or more invoices. If these payments come into a bank account regularly and use the same reference (e'g a customer account number), a bank rule which sets the customer and allocates the whole payment to only that customer's invoices (e.g. against oldest invoice first, splitting if required) would speed things up no end. Much faster than me going through Find & Match every time.

All Description on Transfer of Funds
When moving funds between bank accounts you have to use the transfer feature but you are only allowed to enter the Date and From and To Accounts. I would nice to have an ability to add a description or a reference if you are trying to record additional data. This would be particularly useful when you are setting up a control account and you want to reconcile it - You don't intend to import a feed here you just want to manually reconcile the account. (so you need the bank function) but you will be mainly transferring money in and…

Provide some sort of Metadata / Documention / Help api call like $metadata for OData
We're looking to add Xero into our synchronisation tool, that would allow us to have two way syncing to other systems, such as SharePoint, MS CRM. It would be really useful if we could get a list of rest entities and there schema dynamically so the sync tool would not need to be updated.
5 votesUnfortunately this does not align with our strategy of focusing on our API development and supporting it via SDKs rather than discovery tools.
There are however a set of XSD schemas available: https://github.com/XeroAPI/XeroAPI-Schemas

Allow ID to be specified for new records
This assists when syncing data from external systems or allowing data. For example if I were to sync my CRM's SystemUsers into Xero it would be very useful to share the same GUID on each side.
1 voteIt would not be possible to allow an external system to set a GUID within Xero, but there are options:
For contacts, you can specify a Contact number: http://blog.xero.com/developer/api/contacts/
And for Invoices, you can specify an Invoice number.
For both of these, you can then retrieve that entity from Xero without knowing the internal Xero GUID.

put print/email and other options buttons on the bottom of lists as well - convenience
If you go into invoices and tick a bunch to print, you have to scroll back to the top again to hit print. If you are doing individual invoices, this can be annoying and time could be saved simply if the buttons were on the bottom as well.
