  1. I wanted to inquire if there are any plans or possibilities to expose APIs for wip and staff capacities in XPM. Such an API could be incredibly valuable for integrating with our internal tools and streamlining workflows.

  4. We should be able to update certain fields on an ACCPAY invoice via the API even after the bill is paid. This is in line with the Xero UI. In the Xero UI we can edit the Due Date and Reference still after payment but we can't edit anything via the API. These should match and we should be able to edit the reference (InvoiceNumber) and URL as they do not affect the payment or anything financial on the bill.

    For reference the only reason I'm needing to update these fields is because custom metadata can't be applied to invoices…

  6. We use Breadwinner to sync Xero to Salesforce. In Xero for an individual invoice we can see the History and Notes. We want to surface that data within the Invoice record in Salesforce.

  9. Currently they are unable to be updated as they are automatically marked as "paid". However, updates are allowed for these invoices via the Dashboard, so I would expect the same behavior via the API.

  10. Invoices have a Date field with the temporal resolution of YYYY-MM-DD (despite there being numeric values to support time as well).
    This field shows the date that the invoice is created. It would be wonderful if the invoices had a time field, with the timestamp that the invoice was created.
    Fundamentally, this is extremely similar to UpdatedDateUTC.

  11. Where an invoice is created via API and the customer uses the Contact Merchant button and Ask a Question form found in the online invoice emailed to them, no user in the organisation is notified by email (as the creator user is 'System Generated').

    There needs to be a way either to disable or remove the button, or specify an existing user or email address to be notified in these instances.

    At present, a note is created attached to the invoice but users in the organisation are not made aware of its presence, leaving the customer frustrated their message has…

  12. Our customers / product requires the ability to filter by null/blank guid fields.

    For example, the Invoices endpoint has a RepeatingInvoiceID field. We have customers that need to find all invoices that DID or DID NOT originate from a repeating invoice.

    The logical approach would be via the where clause using one of the following syntax.

    ?where=RepeatingInvoiceID != null
    ?where=RepeatingInvoiceID == null
    ?where=RepeatingInvoiceID != ''
    ?where=RepeatingInvoiceID == ''

    This not only needs to apply to invoices but all endpoints (e.g. the invoices BrandingThemeID, the bank transactions OverpaymentID or PrepaymentID, etc.)

  13. Allow uploading of documents (my use case is Invoices) from cloud storage. Currently you can provide the document content, but it renders as a blank document in the viewer.

  14. .NET SDK has removed "JOBKEEPER" as an Allowance item. However, when retrieving Pay Items, an archived item with that type is retrieved, meaning the retrieval of pay items fails via the SDK.
    Should be able to filter out archived items when retrieving data.

  15. This feedback references the availability of a "How to guide" for idempotency.

    https://xero.uservoice.com/forums/5528-accounting-api/suggestions/11381358-idempotent-requests

    However, the URL returns "Not Authorized."

    https://developer.xero.com/documentation/guides/how-to-guides/idempotency

    If it is there why can we not get it.

  16. When using the If-Modified-Since header, journals updated via "find and recode" are never retrieved.

    There are two main issues with this:

    There is no way via the API to know when journals have been modified, so we're reporting numbers which don't reflect the GL.

    In order to resolve the issue, we need to reload all transactions since the earliest created date of the recoded journal. This could be hundreds of thousands of journals.

  17. Through Xero API, invoices and bills can be created or updated with up to 7 decimal places while payment transactions can only be created or updated with up to 6 decimal places, it would be great that payments transactions could also be created/updated with 7 decimals

  20. In XPM you can create a time entry for a Job you are not assigned to. However this is not possible if we are making the time entry through the API.

    The API should offer that possibility as it is the same as in the browser.

    The API is not allowed to reproduce the same behaviour as in the the portal which is a bug.
