Provide some sort of Metadata / Documention / Help api call like $metadata for OData
We're looking to add Xero into our synchronisation tool, that would allow us to have two way syncing to other systems, such as SharePoint, MS CRM. It would be really useful if we could get a list of rest entities and there schema dynamically so the sync tool would not need to be updated.
2 votesUnfortunately this does not align with our strategy of focusing on our API development and supporting it via SDKs rather than discovery tools.
There are however a set of XSD schemas available: https://github.com/XeroAPI/XeroAPI-Schemas

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?Original question - http://answers.xero.com/developer/question/23051/

Allow invoices to specify tax amounts in a separate currency
UK VAT law requires that invoices present VAT amounts in Sterling, even when the invoice is in a separate currency. As a result, it's possible to have a Euro invoice with Sterling VAT amounts. (See VAT Guide 16.4 and 16.3.1). Obviously when charging the customer, these have to be converted to Euros and the total expressed in Euros, but the business owes VAT in Sterling, not Euros.
Currently it's only possible to specify a single currency per invoice; now, if it were possible to stipulate the exchange rate to be used, that might make matters better, but in general we…

calculate exchange rate automatically for foreign payments
Currently when entering a payment for an invoice in a foreign currency I need to enter the exchange rate. Generally I have to final AUD value and the final USD value, so would prefer the fx rate is calculated automatically.
In addition, it seems the fx rate has limited precision; I end up needing to put in manual adjustments when reconciling which is also a pain.

make Xero contacts available over LDAP
Xero could export contacts via LDAP for integration with VOIP caller ID, email addressbooks and access control systems.
2 votesWhile I think it is a cool idea, it is not our model to provide specific technology interfaces like LDAP – it should be quite straightforward to connect to our API, return contacts in XML, and then make them available over LDAP with your own code.

Use Claude or other AI tools for reconciling accounts
We are using Forte through Ucollect with a temporary clearing account. We have a lot of transactions every day, so I created a script using Claude that I upload a CSV file from Forte into Claude, and it will tell me which transactions to check off and mark as reconciled. I then take a screenshot and send it back to Claude to confirm they match.
It would be great if Claude could have access through the API to automatically mark the transactions as reconciled. This is one of the biggest pain points in using Xero.

It is a problem for the customers client who wants to see it as VAT number - also according to SA VAT/TAX law it MUST say VAT number on the
The VAT number of a client used to be on the Invoice , now its not there anymore.

A dedicated report for unassigned bills and expenses would help you avoid missing invoicing opportunities to customers.
Requires a report to identify all bills and expenses not assigned to any customer, regardless of billable status
* Current reporting options do not meet this need
* Missing customer assignments on bills and expenses result in lost invoicing opportunities and revenue
* Requests the addition of a reporting feature to catch unassigned expenses as a safeguard against revenue loss1 vote -

Good grief! Give us a customer / vendor list with filters!
Why is there no ability to print a customer or vendor list with addresses etc? I have NO way of checking if my vendors have their EIN / SSN entered since THERE IS NO REPORT NOR IS IT EXPORTABLE! It would also be nice to be able to export a customer list with addresses for purposes of mailings.

Give the user the ability to export ALL fields in customers / vendors WITH filtering
All of the fields in the customer or vendor should be available such as SSN. Give the user the ability to filter what is exported such as whether it's customers or vendors along with the ability to CHOOSE which fields are exported.

Bulk update approval settings for repeating invoice templates
Businesses managing many repeating invoice templates need to change approval settings in bulk. Provide a bulk action, in the Xero UI and/or API, to update approval status and related repeating-invoice settings without editing each template individually.
This is not a new idea but feedback on a recent Xero update which affected my invoicing.
I operate a business with approximately 80 weekly repeating invoice templates.
My workflow has always been to have repeating invoices created as Approved so I can review them before emailing customers. This is important because I manually add each new week date in the template email.

groups
Many of our organizations within Xero have created Account Groups to group Chart of Accounts and these come into play with custom Reports for Income Statement and grouping related accounts via the custom report layout. Using the API to pull the Profit and Loss report it would be helpful to have access to Account Groups in order to group the data by those Account Groups as well so that when we lookup data from the P&L report it is organized by groups (or maybe with an optional parameter) in order to return data in the same sections and order that…

Expose Request Deposit feature via the Invoice API
Hi,
I would like to request adding an option to apply a 'Request Deposit' amount on invoices via the Invoice API.
https://central.xero.com/s/article/Request-a-deposit-from-a-customer-AU
We have a client that automates invoices being created from their internal system and sends them out via email. However we can't apply a deposit amount unless they go through each invoice one by one.
Being able to automate this would drastically improve our clients workflow and also help with their customers not having to pay the full amount right away.

Full support for If-Modified-Since flag
Regarding this endpoint:
https://developer.xero.com/documentation/api/accounting/contacts
Regarding the GET request, the "Modified After" field documentation states:
"The ModifiedAfter filter is actually an HTTP header: ' If-Modified-Since'. A UTC timestamp (yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss) . Only contacts created or modified since this timestamp will be returned e.g. 2009-11-12T00:00:00 Note: changes to the Balances, IsCustomer or IsSupplier values will not trigger a contact to be returned with the Modified-After filter"
Request is to ensure Balances, IsCustomer and IsSupplier DO trigger the contact to be returned with the Modified-After filter.
Reality is that these values do change, so the only way to ensure we have accurate data is…

Default Cursor to 2FA code
Quick fix. Default the cursor to be in the box where you enter the 2FA code so mouse is not needed to click into the field.
Cursor is already in the box so you can start typing directly into the box and then <enter> proceeds to login without needing to click Confirm1 vote
