    Sent to Contact on credit notes is read only right now.

    Please allow us to do a POST call to this so we can mark sent to contact true as needed

  2. Allow API Access to run the Bank Reconciliation Report

    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…

  3. Invoices API: Enable/disable reminder when creating an Invoice

    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.

    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.

  5. include cost of sales on invoices

    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…

  6. Enable Bank feeds to public

    Allow bank feed to be retrieved via Xero API. All I want to do is allow my staff to see what payments have been received in the last day so they can release equipment. Very basic. But I go through paying the subscription and setting up the whole thing just to find that obvious and needed option is not available?? If I try to setup an API with the NAB thats going to be a nightmare. Its all there in Xero - if we log in we can see it. So why not allow access with an API?

  7. Show TrackingOptionID in LineItem in Invoices API (and other endpoints)

    The Invoices endpoint in particular (and many others in general), do not include the TrackingOptionID in the data set. Instead, they generally provide only the Name, Option and TrackingCategoryID.

    It is really important for being able to use "joins" on the data to incl;ude the TrackingOptionID .

  8. Provide the OpenDate and ClosedDate in the Projects endpoint

    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.

  10. Update Xero Projects API endpoint to Include estimated costs

    The Xero Projects API / Projects endpoint include an estimate field that provides the estimated revenue.

    It would be good to add an additional estimateCosts field to provide the estimated cost so as to be able to calculate margin for a given project.

  11. Add Expenses endpoint to the Projects API

    The Projects module of Xero allows you to capture expenses. However, this data cannot be retrieved from any endpoint.

    It would be good if an Expenses endpoint was added to provide the list of expenses add to projects (including estimate cost and revenue information).

  12. Ability to access Practice Manager staff billable rates

    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.

  13. Full Account details must be available with Invoice record

    When GET invoice called using API, we get only ContactId and Contact Name. Here full contact details must be available so that if contact is not available in local database we can insert new one.

  14. Show ContactNumber field next to contact name for each invoice

    We make extensive use of the ContactNumber field for invoicing.
    Can Invoice listing show ContactNumber field next to contact name for each invoice to help with updating/locating drafts?
    Can ContactNumber be shown on contact listing instead of phone or email field for locating contacts?

  18. Generate reports by using specific identifiers in the "reference field"

    As a building business it would be nice to ascertain the costs of a specific build/client to ensure the company is on track with profit/loss per project.

    When I started out in Xero, and when all purchases were been entered in as drafts, when a certain reference was entered, such as the client name or job number, a running total was always displayed as to how much was spent on a particular build/client.

    Ironically once the purchases were approved and/or paid, upon typing the same specific reference, would no longer provide a tally or what was spent, to be paid…

  19. Is it possible to have the Management Report and more budget reports available to export via API?

    I use QWD and would like to see the Management Report exportable as well as more budget reports eg budget per month from budget manager.
    This would allow far more flexibility in building reports and dashboards.

  20. have a discount field in purchases

    When clients have Retail Express and applying the discount on purchases in Retail Express there is no possibility to import the original price and the discount received when doing the import. A solution would be either to have the discount per line or at least under total balance of purchase have a field of "total discount applied" to this purchase...so the original price can be still found. When checking that the imports are correct at present it causes confusion and a lot of going back and forth to find out wether bill had been imported with discount and what the…
