  1. 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.

  2. .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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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

  6. API support to delete/void prepayments and overpayments will add benefit to keep our system in sync with Xero without the need for manual intervention.

  7. Whilst 2 active tracking categories are shown on Sales invoice, Bills and manual Journal entry.
    On the payroll timesheet entry only shows 1 of 2 active tracking categories.
    Could we please have 2 active tracking categories appear on the payroll timesheet entry ?
    Thanks

  8. 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.

  9. It's possible to get details of Practice Manager invoices using the Invoices API endpoints:

    https://developer.xero.com/documentation/api/practice-manager-3-1/invoices

    However, it's not possible to create or update invoices using the API. It seems to be possible to create and update most other objects using the API so why not invoices?

    This functionality would be very useful as invoices are a fundamental part of the system.

  10. The Practice Manager API allows the editing of most time sheet entry fields via the Time PUT Update endpoint:

    https://developer.xero.com/documentation/api/practice-manager-3-1/time/#put-update

    However, for some reason it doesn't currently allow toggling the Billable field.

    It would be really useful to allow editing of this field along with the ability to edit the rest of the time sheet entry fields.

  12. The Internal Endpoint used on the website delivers more fields than the endpoint in the API.
    Internal Endpoint: https://go.xero.com/api/projects/projects?status=INPROGRESS

    API Endpoint: https://api.xero.com/projects.xro/2.0/projects?status=INPROGRESS

    While the internal Endpoint delivers the contactName, the external endpoint does only provide the contactId. To fetch the Contact name a user needs to get access to the whole accounting module which is nonsense. The contactName should also be delivered where the id is delivered.

  13. Following changes to the front-end of Xero there is now a difference between that and the api when selecting a list of Customers.

    Original Behaviour - shown on the API:
    All contacts start off as neither customer nor supplier. Once an invoice, bill or credit note is raised the isSupplier or isCustomer field is updated accordingly. The contact retains this status.

    New front-end behaviour:
    We look to see if any invoices or bills have been raised and categorise the contact accordingly.

    We have a client who has an Accounts Receivable Credit Note posted to it so appears as a Customer…

  14. Currently you can only create a payment for bill if

    1. the bill or the bank account is the same as the organisation base currency, or
    2. the bill and the bank account is the same currency.

    Please add support for the case where the bill and bank account have different currencies, neither of which is the organisation base currency.

    I get the following validation error through the API when attempting this:
    "The invoice, payment and organisation base currencies are all different. Xero cannot currently handle a 3-currency transaction."

  15. Right now it results in an opaque 500 error, which required me to reach to support.

    For example:
    ```
    POST https://api.xero.com/api.xro/2.0/BankTransactions/<transaction>/Attachments/kitten.png
    Accept: text/xml
    Content-Type: image/png
    Authorization: Bearer ...
    xero-tenant-id: <..>

    < /kitten.png
    ```

  16. Currently to get an invoice attachment you need to make a call to the attachment endpiont for a specific entity id, then you need to make a call to the download end point for each found attachment.

    We need an efficient way to be notified of weather there is an attachment or not, othewise we will quickly hit our api quote just looking up attachments on invoices.

    Would be great if we could request all attachment details objects for an array of invoices to reduce the number of calls we need to make in order to find attachment details for…

  17. Currently if you add an attachment to the invoice where none existed before, the invoice webhook is not fired, even though invoice.hasAttachments is changed to be true.

    Same for if you remove the last attachment on an invoice, this should trigger the invoice webhook as the hasAttachments is now false.

  18. It would be great to be able to read the Display Name of the Pay Item.
    Also to be able to set the Display Name when creating a new Pay Item.

  19. Quotes and PurchaseOrders are the only endpoints remaining where the lines do not include the AccountID.

    For consistency, it would pay to include these fields.

    Hopefuly, this is a simple request since AccountID was added to CreditNotes, Invoices and RepeatingInvoices recently.
