  1. Ability to send a sales invoice from Xero to Xero via API

    To be clear this is about sending invoices to a contact via their Xero network key: https://help.xero.com/uk/SalesInvoiceX2X.

    This is distinct from sending invoices via email: http://xero.uservoice.com/forums/5528-xero-core-api/suggestions/1930769-be-able-to-email-approved-invoices-via-the-api

  2. Posting receipt of payments on Invoices or downloading of receipt pdf of the payment

    On XERO online portal, when we add a payment we can send a receipt to customers email. Similar way can we have this feature via api. Either by posting receipt on payment acceptance or download receipt pdf of payment. This is something must have feature.

  3. Update Journal API to support filtering based on the Date field OR a general where clause

    Currently, you can' t get Journals based on posting date (the Date field in Journal). It should be supported as it is more relevant than the if-modified-since filter. In general, the Journal API should support the where clause.

  4. Apply Branding Theme by name

    Currently only way to add a Branding Theme to an invoice via API is by specifying the BrandingThemeID parameter.
    This is rather impractical as BrandingThemeID has to be unique across all of Xero, so if you hardcode the ID for your real Xero organization, when you go to try something with your demo organization, this will fail as ID is not the same, even if the name is.

    On the other had Xero already forces you to have unique names for your branding themes, but these are supposedly only unique within your organization, so you could have a Branding Theme…

  6. Expose internal unique identifiers in the API when retrieving reports

    Because we currently extract accounts through reports, we don't get the internal unique identifier and have to match on number and name. If the user re-names or re-numbers an account in Xero (and this is likely to happen to other entities) we lose the connection to the account stored in our system and the user potentially loses data.

  7. Support for Inventory Adjustments

    Add support for the inventory adjustments in the API.

    Currently you can effectively perform inventory adjustments via the API using invoices. See the tracked inventory guide for more info: http://developer.xero.com/documentation/api-guides/tracked-inventory-in-xero/

    This request is to expose the specific inventory functionality in Xero via the API.

  8. Multi-currency Bank Transfers

    Currently, if I try and send a Bank Transfer through the APIs between 2 accounts with different currencies, I get an error response with the message:

    "Multi currency Bank Transfers are not currently supported"

    There is a field for the "CurrencyRate" in the documentation for GET, however, setting this for a PUT call, results in the same error message.

    It's possible to do this through the UI as a user, it should also be possible to do this through the APIs.

  9. Xero Workpapers API

    Xero now has an integrated Workpapers application (http://www.xero.com/workpapers). This is a placeholder to track requests and potential use cases so we can evaluate development of this feature.

  15. enable sending of Quotes via email, like you do for Invoices

    So Invoices has endpoint:
    POST https://api.xero.com/api.xro/2.0/Invoices/aa682059-c8ec-44b9-bc7f-344c94e1ffae/Email

    Could we do the same for Quotes?

  17. Contact Bank Details (all fields) to be able to be updated via API

    At the moment, contact bank details fields need to be updated through the front-end UI, only the BSB and Account number can be updated via API. Just wondering if Xero can add all fields to the Update contact details API function?

    "BatchPayments": {
    "BankAccountNumber": "0000007",
    "BankAccountName": "XXXXX",
    "Details": "SQUAD",
    "Code": "",
    "Reference": ""
    }

  18. Override tax amount of line items in Bank Transactions endpoint

    Since overriding of line item's tax amount is possible in Invoices endpoint, same capability should also be possible in BankTransactions endpoint.

  20. Get Journals by Account Type

    I need to get all those Journals which involves a Bank account. (i.e. one of its JournalLines has an account of type Bank).

    Note that If I get all journals using Journal API, it is very time consuming. I hope to use the Journal API in such a way so that it only returns those Journal which involve a bank.
