← Customer Feedback for Xero API

Welcome to our official feedback forum for the Xero Developer API.

The Xero Community site is the best place to submit feedback for improving Xero Business

I suggest you ...

You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

  • When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
  • You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
  • To see ideas you have already voted on, select the "My feedback" filter and select "My open ideas".
(thinking…)

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

If a similar idea already exists, you can support and comment on it.

If it doesn't exist, you can post your idea so others can support it.

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

  2. Fix the Expense Claim dates

    The C# wrapper is looking for CreatedDateUTC, UpdatedDateUTC & Date but the API returns just UpdatedDateUTC and even this appears to be wrong in my testing (I get 2008-09-25T11:04:21.707).

    I'd like to see ReportingDate and PaymentDueDate.

  7. Specify date range in Chart of Accounts

    When you drill down to the transactions within a particular account in the Chart of Accounts it would be handy to be able to specify a date range so you see the transactions within that date range only.

  10. Add a notes panel to the dashboard

    A notes panel on the dashboard would be great so other people in your organisation can see what the procedures are with that client.
    there is a place to put notes in Practice Manager.

  11. Prevent me from adding new contacts so easily from the "Add Bill" (and similar) screens.

    I have batches of 20 or more bills to add at once.
    I want to do them quickly.
    I know the supplier name is already in Xero and that autolookup will find the name if I just type the first 3 letters.
    But alas! I hit the TAB key before the autolookup feature has worked, and now I've created a new supplier called Ral, or Mad, or Win, or Upg, or...
    Please fix this, it drives me mad.

  12. New Feature - Contacts Reform

    • Contacts/Project Dashboard - The Contacts page could be improved with a dashboard of all relevant data for that Contact such as the P&L for the client and their projects. I would also like to see a Statement feature detailing all invoices and payments in journal display i.e. account debits and credits, filtered either by Contact and/or Projects.

    • Sales Pipeline – A New Leads/Tenders/Quotes feature would allow the Sales team to add details for new clients and projects. Unsuccessful New Leads could be demoted to Old Bids which would keep the contact, bid and project details on the system.…

  16. Be Able To Get Customer Credit Rating Through The API

    Given that credit ratings can now be shown for customers in the main application I would like to suggest that the credit rating, even as a number or as a descriptor (matching the rating gauge in the main interface, be made available through the API in the contact payload data so that when viewing customer data through the API the credit rating can be seen as well.

  18. Replace / Fix inaccurate text when non-Admin user attempts to connect via API

    This idea will take about 15 minutes to implement, so I hope it is looked at soon.

    When a non-Admin user attempts to connect a Partner App to Xero via the API, they are given an inaccurate message. The message reads

    "You don't have a Xero Organisation yet."

    This is inaccurate, as they often do have a Xero Organisation but are not an Admin. This leads to wasted time, support calls, irritated users, and unhappy partners.

    Please replace that above message with something like

    "You are not an Administrator of any Xero Organisations yet."

  19. Bank Statement Query-Click on searched transaction to enter details

    'Upon searching for imported/feed bank transaction, to click on said found transaction to enter/create details/transaction & reconcile'.
    I have a lot of US Dollars transactions that come through the credit card & bank account - I need to search for the AUD value before I can input it via the bank feed 'bank statement' tab. Many are once off suppliers, so no need to enter bills - esp as I dont get paperwork with AUD only USD. It would be great if I could then click on said found transaction to complete the process and reconcile. Even if it takes…
