    Hi, eBay announced a new payment method called "eBay managed payment", not using PayPal anymore and basically eBay doing the same job with PayPal. Now, we need to define eBay as a new bank account and need to import transactions automatically.

  2. 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.

    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

  3. 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.

  4. 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…

  5. 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.

  6. Invoice Webhook - Send payload for custom connections

    When the new authentication system goes live - the invoice webhook should send the invoice payload. This makes sense as the authentication system is 1:1, and it will reduce the amount of API calls.

  7. Populate the reference field on Journals API with bills reference fields

    For all bill journals retrieved through the GET Journals API, the reference field is blank. There is a reference field on bills. It would be great if they could be written to the journals table and exposed through the API

  8. Provide superannuation payment data through the API

    Provide superannuation payments data through an API - to represent what is available in the superannuation payments report currently.

    This would also need an employee Id - currently only shows the employee name.

  9. Get-BalanceSheet API for reporting should spit out data as of the input date parameter

    I've been working with GetBalanceSheet reporting api, I realized while fetching data for all dates and found out that it is returning data pointing to the last date of the month in the input date.

    Example:

    Get-Balancesheet API
    date: 10/24/2021 (mm/dd/yyyy)

    API returns data as of 10/31/2021 instead of 10/24/2021

    Get-IncomeStatement does not have this issue.

  11. Get mapping of companies with all embedded integrations

    Suppose, I have more than 500 companies to manage and each one uses different integrations eg: routable, adp, toast, square etc. How can I see which company is associated with how many integrations. I want to have a report or api that can provide me that information.

    Otherwise, there might be a possibility that for example: "Company A" in Xero might accidently or by human error be connected to "Company C" in routable instead of "Company A". Having some kind of metric can help in auditing/correcting such things else it could be a recipe for disaster.

  12. On Attachment of supplier invoice against PO, update the POs UpdatedDateUTC

    Upon Uploading a file to a Purchase Order in Xero the UpdatedDateUTC value does not update.

    We are looking to pull all files linked to POs into our system and currently need to send a list of POs to check for attachments against, instead of easily knowing which PO has an attachment added since the last time we completed an API call.

  13. Practice Manager API returns the Last Modified Since value which you can search for

    The Practice Manager API allows you to restrict the list to anything that has been modified since a particular date. The issue is that the value isn't returned on the response.

    We would like that field to be returned so we have visibility on the exact last modified time.

    https://developer.xero.com/documentation/api/practice-manager/clients#get-list

    modifiedsince=yyyy-MM-ddTHHss

  14. Allow 20 characters in Phone Number field in New Zealand and UK

    Problem:

    The Xero phone number field only supports 13 characters in New Zealand and the UK. We have build an integration between Xero and BambooHR that is used by mutual companies in Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom. It has become a global necessity to keep mobile phone numbers with a country prefix. 13 characters, your current Xero limit, is not long enough and needs to be lengthened.

    Solution:

    We propose that Xero allows 20 characters in this field as BambooHR and many other companies now do.

    Benefit:

    Happy mutual customers who can data entry effectively important communication numbers.…

  17. Have addresses from the Fishbowl API be sent to the individual invoice rather than overriding the address in the contact screen

    Allow Xero to receive billing and shipping addresses directly as the billing and delivery address for an individual invoice rather then it being sent to the overall contact screen. This would allow for invoices to have different addresses on them for the same client depending on the order. If this worked correctly, we could then have that address tied to and saved to an individual invoice. Currently, we have to manually change the address on every single invoice as our clients have orders shipped all across the country and the world.

  19. Sync 0.00 value invoices and credit notes from Stock&Buy to Xero

    Sync 0.00 value invoices and credit notes from Stock&Buy to Xero

    Some online orders will be synced to S&B with 0.00 value to ensure our stock are correct. We will add the sales invoices into Xero base on these orders fortnightly statement. These 0 value invoices can be synced to Xero, but the refunds can't. This will cause the inventory difference between S&B and Xero.

    Thank you.

  20. budget upload to Xero API

    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.
