Return bank transaction id in GET Payments
Instead of just the Boolean "IsReconciled" with GET Payments, please include the bank transaction id that could be used to join the payment with a bank transaction from GET BankTransactions.
6 votesPayments aren’t reconciled against “Bank Transactions” from the /BankTransactions endpoint.
“Bank Transactions” are spend and receive money transactions https://central.xero.com/s/article/Add-a-receive-money-transaction
The are reconciled against “bank statement lines” which come in on bank feeds and can’t be retrieve by the API

Disable browser autocomplete on global search field
Could the front-end devs please add an
autocomplete=offattribute to Xero's main global search input field like so:<input type="text" id="queryInput" value="xe" autocomplete="off">
The browser's native suggestion dropdown covers the Xero results, which is usually blocking the item you actually want to click on.
1 voteThanks for reaching out but this suggestion is better directed to the core product team over at Xero Community https://community.xero.com/business/topic/23/
UserVoice is for our public API and developer platform.

REFERENCE Field is now missing for API for ACCPAY invoices
REFERENCE Field is now missing from API calls for ACCPAY (Accounts Payable) as per attached examples, change seems to have happened on the 4th June 2020
3 votesHi Terry,
The Reference field is only for ACCREC Invoices.
For ACCPAY Invoices, the value that is displayed in the UI as ‘Reference’ is returned in the InvoiceNumber field.
So we can support you better in future, please raise these kind of issues with support (api@xero.com) rather than UserVoice.
Thanks,

A set of forward/back button links at the top of each page.
When searching through several pages of, say, bank statements to find a specific item it becomes very annoying to have to go back to the bottom of each page to access the button for forward/back. Surely it makes complete sense to have the bottom buttons copied to the top of each page too.
1 voteHi Lynn,
Thanks for the post, however, I believe this suggestion belongs on the Xero community board, rather than the Xero API board as this isn’t API related.

Add eWise to your list of financial aggregators for Asia market
Add eWise to your list of financial aggregators for Asia market. Yodlee does not work for the Sg market where OTP is required. However, eWise is able to login and pull the transaction from SG banks. I have seen it myself.
You guys should look into their financial aggregating services if you would like to improve on bank feeds in Singapore.

Enable multiple shipping addresses for a contact
Please can we allow a contact to be associated with multiple shipping addresses. Whilst groups work to some extent, it is unforgiving if there are any inaccuracies in group membership (which does occur).
39 votesFrom the details of this request it seems like this is a general Xero feature request rather than a developer API request.
For that reason I’m declining the request on this forum but encourage you to add your votes and comments to Xero’s main feature request forum:

Add Purchase Order (PO) number to invoices
It would be useful to add PO number to invoices as a separate field.
At the moment we have to add it to the reference.
Large enterprise clients expect to see their PO number in the top right area of the invoice but it sometimes isn't clearly visible when we put it into the reference and then their procurement department rejects the invoice.

a seperate tick for emailed items (instead of going into seperate invoices to view history!)
The green sent tick is great when looking up invoices,
But it would be REALLY helpful to have say a blue or red tick for invoices sent via email!
I write quite a few invoices everyday - and sometimes email systems don't work, I have found the email mailer demon to be unreliable in the registering of emails not received by clients.
Without it registering on the history inside the actual invoices, I am none the wiser.3 votesThis sounds like a general Xero feature request and should be posted here https://community.xero.com/business/topic/23/

Report/Customer Have a column inbetween Number & Due Date the Ref Column
When looking at invoices that have been generated by Xero - it would be good to be able to identify the customer further ie. I have one large Customer and all the sub customers could be easily identified if the name could be put in the reference at the top of the invoice and then when viewing the main customer you can see the sub-customer.

Statement list without zero amounts showing
When listing the statements in accounts receivable to print or email could there be a button to select 'no zero amounts shown' so only the debtors with amounts owing show
This would be so much easier to select statements to print or email at the end of the month

Add visibility of Quotes to the Main dashboard - Alongside Invoices.
Add visibility of quotes summary to the Main dashboard - either under:
"Invoices owed to you" - replacing "draft invoices" or adding alongside "draft invoices".
or
a stand alone "Quotes Summary" section
Now we are using quotes - we have no further need to use "draft invoices". But have No visibility of quotes from the Main Dashboard.

API: Ability for a negative Invoice amount
We are use the API (through an addon) to automagically sync Xero and our Admin solution, but we've just found out that a credit invoice (yes, a negative number in this case) can't be pushed to Xero because of lack of support for that in the API.
A credit invoice can be a negative invoice and this should be handled as such.
Please advice how this can be done or if it's missing in the API, as it seems to be, please add this asap.
3 votesXero does not support negative total documents and there are no plans to do so. Please see credit notes if you wish to achieve what you wish to.

Customer: "I never received your invoice!". Option to request "Read Email" receipts when emailing invoices
Some of my customers who forget to pay their overdue invoices use the excuse "Oh, I don't seem to have received your invoice".
It would be great if we could have a tickbox option to "Request a Read Receipt" (much in the way you can when sending an email via MS Outlook) so that when the customer reads the email they are then prompted to send a receipt confirming that they've read it.
They won't be able to use the above excuse anymore if they send a read receipt!

Show payments in the Contacts suppliers
I would love to see the payments made against a supplier in the contacts.
ie: date of payment and amount. Then be able to drill down and see what invoices were paid. As it is you can see invoices and that they have been paid but not dates of payment or amount paid unless you drill down into invoice and then drill into payment.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: https://community.xero.com/business/

to have a 'Bank' field made available in manual journal....!
I am looking at entering transactions of 2013. (So i have no intention in creating invoices for the sales happened that time, rather just enter the sales amount)
When there is a SALE in showroom through credit card, the money go to the credit card company and after deducting their charges they will credit our bank with the balance amount.
For eg: if the sale is 1000, they will credit our bank with 977, meaning their charges is 23.
The entry would be:
Dr. Bank 977
Dr. Credit Card company 23
Cr. Sales 1000I would like to make this…

We don’t plan to allow Manual Journals to affect the AP,AR or bank balances. These balances are designed to only be affected by invoices/bills, spend/receive money transactions, and bank transactions in Xero. If you need to journal to a bank account there are some alternative methods available here: https://help.xero.com/int/Q_JournalBankAcc
