  3. Add journal count to the Organisation endpoint.

    It would be useful to get a general idea of the size of a particular organisation. The journal count also serves as a maximum on the journal number field. Useful for displaying the percentage completed, if an API user is pulling the entire ledger.

  4. Update the UpdatedDateUtc value on an invoice when an invoice is sent or unsent via the Xero web interface

    Sadly this is a bug not a feature request ...

    We have found and verified that invoices that are sent via the Xero web UI do not update the UpdatedDateUtc value. In the case of synchronising to an external system this makes it difficult to keep the invoice status in sync (so we can avoid expensive API calls).

    Typical use case is:

    1. A lot of invoices are created - these sync to our local system.
    2. We track the latest modified date and store for future syncs.
    3. Invoices are sent from Xero - webhooks trigger for these.
    4. We then check with…

  5. CIS Fields on Contact via API

    There is currently no way to set or retrieve CIS fields via the api with the exception of:
    - CIS Enabled (GET ONLY)
    - CIS Value (GET ONLY)

    This request is to be able to GET POST AND PUT all contact CIS fields via the API including:
    - CIS Enabled
    - Registered CIS Name
    - CIS Rate
    - Organisation Type
    - Unique Taxpayer Reference
    - Subcontractor Verification Number
    - National Insurance Number
    - Customer Registration Number

    NOTE: Although Customer Registration Number is not under the CIS section, it IS mandatory if CIS Type is set to Limited Company so this…

  6. Query exchange rate through the API

    The exchange rates are automatically calculated in Xero and not available for query. I want to use the same exchange rates in a third-party software (otherwise the reported money amounts will not match), so I need a way to query the exchange rates that were valid on a certain invoice date.

  7. ... make transaction data available via the API

    It appears that there are two key things missing from the current version of the Xero API:

    The Tables part of the API does not currently have a connection to the Nominal Ledger (Account) Transactions

    The Reports part of the API connects to several of the standard reports, but doesn’t connect to the Account Transactions report.

    Either of these would allow a full list of transactions to be accessed via the API.

  9. Overpayments and Prepayments API

    The "Paid from/into" field that is used to store the bank's name is not exposed in the Prepayment/Overpayment endpoints at this time.

    Because of which I'm not able to fetch the 'Paid from' for Prepayments and 'Paid into' for Overpayment in API response.

    If we will be able to fetch the "Paid from/into" field, then it will make our payments process quite easy because I'm working in Odoo and need to sync the overpayments and prepayments.

  10. Line Items in Xero should be populate with default values of Item Inventory

    When a line item is added to Xero invoice - it currently do not created with default values. It doesn't make sense to not default to Item Inventory defined in Xero.

    If this is a breaking change and break for other customer then a new field which will let us populate line items using default values.

    If not, we will need to sync Item inventory in our end before creating any invoices via API.

  11. Tracking CategoryID/OptionID parameters in Trial Balance endpoint.

    Adding in the tracking CategoryID and OptionID parameters to the trial balance endpoint would allow for easier & more detailed analysis across multiple tenants in client-specific use cases. The capability exists in the UI via the "new" Trial Balance, so there's a disconnect between the expected level of detail one can get from the UI vs. the API.

  12. Allow querying the MFA state for users via the API

    It's great that xero supports MFA and I would like to query which users have MFA enabled (or more importantly which don't) and import into our SOC so we can ensure that all accounts are protected.

    Given how big a target a finance platform like Xero is for business email compromise and phishing scenarios and how critical MFA is in preventing these attacks - being able to collect this information and easily catch unprotected accounts is very useful.

  13. Software Robots - Reconciling Bank Statement Lines

    Hi - I've been looking at reconciling via the API for a client and it seems that functionality hasn't been put into the API which is a shame.

    My client has found "software robots" which can do this via scripting. Kind of like taking Software Automation software and running it for production purposes.

    Products like these...
    https://growbydesign.kartra.com/page/roboworkforce
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjdLAqgwMKA

    I've got my own thoughts but I'd like to get an understanding what Xero's stance is with products like this and any pro's and cons....

    Many thanks for any and all input.

    Thanks
    Pat

  15. Quotes with lineAmountTypes=inclusive returning wrong unitAmount

    Unlike invoices, if lineAmountTypes='INCLUSIVE', quotes return the items with unitAmount having the tax deducted.
    Example (invoice):
    1. Invoice created with lineAmountTypes=Inclusive with 1 item with unitAmount=100, quantity=1.
    2. GET invoice returns the invoice with the item. unitAmount field is correctly showing 100

    Example (quote):
    1. A Quote is created with lineAmountTypes=INCLUSIVE with 1 item of unitAmount=100, quantity=1.
    2. GET quote returns the quote with the item's unitAmount=86.96 (86.96+15% GST = 100) which is wrong.

  18. Auto invoice number and references

    If you leave the reference field blank on an ACCPAY invoice then the invoice number is automatically generated using the defaults INV-00381 etc. But if you give a reference 'August 2020 travel charges' and leave the invoice number blank then the API copies the reference and makes the invoice number 'August 2020 travel charges'. I want auto-generated invoice numbers but to be able to give an independent reference.

  19. Please provide an API to get Login History

    Hi Team,
    Can you please provide an API to get Login History of all users.

    The data is already available in Xero's Dashboard but there is no API associated for the same.

    It will help us to track our users in more better way.

  20. Query webhook status via API

    After checking in with Xero support there I found there is there no way to poll the webhook status.

    It is important to us that the webhook remains "OK" and we have had situations where it has disconnected due to changes in our software that did not go noticed which has required manual reconnection.

    If we are able to query the webhook status then we can hook this up to our monitoring and react accordingly.
