  1. Either expose the time start in project time entries or expose project reports.

    This is extremely important when trying to calculate overtime and also to review timings when doing payroll.

    I actually cannot believe it is not already exposed.

  2. Our customers need to be analyse Quotes and Invoices and link both with each other. Unfortunately, while you can create a sales invoice from a quote, there is no linking identifier between the two.

    It would be good to include the InvoiceID in the Quotes to know which invoice was create from the quote. If a quote can be invoiced multiple times, it would be good for this to be an Invoices collection.

    It would also be good to include the QuoteID in the Invoices endpoint to know this invoice originated from a quote and which.

  3. We need to be able to fetch bulk, paginated History and Notes via the API. Now it only has the ability to fetch records for single invoice. It will be great if we are performing one time ETL and we are getting the time out 429 status in error and rate limiting issue.

  4. It would be really useful to be able to access (and ideally edit) staff billable rates via the Practice Manager API.

    Many other fields can be accessed via the Staff endpoint:

    https://developer.xero.com/documentation/api/practice-manager-3-1/staff

    This would be a really useful addition.

  6. It's currently not possible to add Attachments to a Prepayment via the API.

    It'd be nice if we could access this at "https://api.xero.com/api.xro/2.0/Prepayments/{Guid}/Attachments/{Filename}" to bring the functionality in line with the GUI.

    We currently have access to: Invoices, Receipts, Credit Notes, Repeating Invoices, Bank Transactions, Bank Transfers, Contacts, Accounts, Manual Journals, Purchase Orders, Quotes (https://developer.xero.com/documentation/api/accounting/attachments).

    Seems like the standard and infrastructure is already there, it would be nice to have this one soon, thanks!

  7. Created by is an important audit field and minimally allows the broader organization to know who to go to for questions...E.g. Think PM getting Invoice questions from customers and then needs to speak with whomever created the invoice to review.

    Additionally, this impacts many 3rd party integration tools such as Breadwinner that aim to surface Xero data into other systems. The better enabled integration partners are, the more successful Xero will be in growing with customers and entering larger companies.

    Enhancement / Use Case:
    Enable API to be able to include the name of the person creating an invoice via…

  8. I am reaching out for assistance regarding a client code-related query. Could you please guide us on where to capture this information from the response? If the client code is not provided in the Xero GET Organisation API response, could you also advise on the appropriate steps to request the Xero team to add this property to our response? Your assistance in providing information on the client code is greatly appreciated.

  10. The Projects endpoint of the Xero Projects API does not include the OpenDate and ClosedDate as fields.

    These are useful for users to report with and should be included.

  11. In the current version of Xero, the deletion of allocations from PrePayments and Credit Notes is not allowed via the API and can only be done via the web interface.
    It is a much-needed feature and we have tens of hundreds of clients who are asking for it.

  12. Currently it's possible to add a 0 value transaction on a bank account using the web interface by clicking "New Transaction" selecting "spend money" then adding a positive sum to one account and a negative sum to another account.

    When attempting this with the API you get a validation error "The Total for this document must be greater than zero".

    This is a simple request to remove the additional validation on the API to allow this transaction to be added (like you can in the web interface).

    Something similar can be achieved with a manual journal, however these don't support…

  13. The Job returned by the XPM API v3.1 is not consistent, for example:
    01. Jobs - GET - Current -> contained <WebUrl>
    02. Jobs - GET - Staff ID -> does not have <WebUrl>

    Also, I find it a little puzzling, on how all other "Schedule Information" fields such as Start Date, Due Date, Partner, Manager, and even all Assigned Staffs are included in GET Current Jobs, but Priority is not..

    Could the Practice Manager API have a little bit more love from Xero? I really suspect that the XPM API is built by completely separate team, because even by…

  14. A customer of ours need to pull Invoices via the Xero API and are particularly interested in the COGS value of sales in order to calculate a Gross Profit value.

    Unfortunately, that value does not appear in the Invoices endpoint.

    I ran some tests where i posted a sale, then posted a purchase with items with a higher purchase price, then edit the sale and increase the quantity.

    I then checked journals and i could see a reversal jounral for the COGS that used the old COGS value, and a reposting using the new COGS value.

    This implies the data…

  15. When a contact has been added or removed from a group, or when a group is changed the UpdatedDateUTC on the contact should also be change to reflect this.

  16. It would be great to have an budget upload API.
    I'm using G-Accon to push data in Xero, it would be great to be able to push budgets too.
    Currently, Xero's budget manager is a bit rigid in its layout. However with G-Accon I could use a custom layout, or for example narrow down for a departmental budget, and then push to Xero.

  17. It would be very useful to be able to programatically enable or disable invoice reminders for a given invoice when an Invoice is created using the Invoices API.

  18. In lieu of being able to interact with the Bank Feed information directly via the API - it would be useful to be able to run the Bank Reconciliation Report directly from the API.

    The use case in mind is:

    I would like to set up a proactive notification when there are incoming amounts that are not reconciled in Xero in order to prompt someone to go in to Xero and manually reconcile those items. This will help prevent our customers from getting automated invoice reminders when they've paid.

    We're not at the point yet where someone is in Xero…
