allow ItemID to be specified when adding line items
It seems to be possible to supply the ItemCode but not the ItemID. I guess the ID is unique for each item? It would be really great in my opinion if the API could be consistent and the ID field was always used to specify a join whenever you are creating or updating anything.
Consider the following use case:
A web app with integrations to xero to do all of the invoicing, and inventory price management. Contacts (users), orders (invoices) and products (items) are stored in the app, but also created in xero. The app then stores the xero id…

Return linked Tenant ID in the auth response
When a user has access to multiple Xero accounts it would be great to know the Tenant ID of the account they linked in the auth response.

Make Receipt updatable via API
The documentation says:
PUT Receipts
The PUT method is similar to the POST Invoices method, however you can only create new receipts with this method.It would be great if I was able to update receipts with the PUT method.
17 votesAt the moment the main Xero application does not allow this, so it will not be possible, but we will keep this open to track demand…

Increase the limit of API calls
It would be great if the limit of API calls is increased. That way we can make more requests to Xero and not have the connection destabilise. This affects our customer experience as our customers ask us always

Connect multiple Shopify store feeds from one organisation
Lots of business have multiple Shopify stores, buy at present we can only use one feed from one shop.
This means we still have to manually input data from one store and can't upscale using the system.
I am sure there are many other retailers with a similar problem.16 votes -
Reconcile individual payments (NOT Bank Statement)
We receive payments from online services (stripe and paypal) and programmatically add an invoice as well as a payment for the invoice and the fee from the charge.
When the bank charge comes from the bank we go in and manually match them with the payments. With PayPal this is easy because they come in and match 1:1 with the payments and fees. With stripe it's not so easy becaue our daily payout contains dozens of fees and charges.
We would like to programmatically match these. Note that this is NOT the same as reconciling a bank statement, I think…

Query webhook status via API
After checking in with Xero support there I found there is there no way to poll the webhook status.
It is important to us that the webhook remains "OK" and we have had situations where it has disconnected due to changes in our software that did not go noticed which has required manual reconnection.
If we are able to query the webhook status then we can hook this up to our monitoring and react accordingly.

unlock reconciled transactions so that updates can be made via API
Currently, you can update reconciled transactions in Xero. However, reconciled transactions are locked (read-only) and can't be updated via the API. Users want to be able to update reconciled transactions via the API (add descriptions, change accounts, etc.).

integrate google wallet with xero bank account and payment system
google wallet now allows customer send funds (from credit/debit or bank account) to a business google wallet. I'd like to have xero recognize google wallet as a bank account, so it could receive transactions from it.
in addition, we'd like to be able to make payments (payroll included) using google wallet
thanks for considering
PS. as it stands now, a third party can not write such an integration because the Xero API for banking/payment is not available.
If this request is not considered, alternative suggestion is to introduce new Xero APIs so this integration could be done by a third…

Come up to date with a more modern Authorisation Mechanism rather than using OAuth1.0a
oAuth1.0a was developed in 2009 and is so complicated it just doesn't make it a viable option to maximise the Xero API with any simplicity. Most organisations have at least moved to oAuth2.0.
How about it Xero, what's the chance of moving with the times?

Include contacts that have been converted to customers (or suppliers) when "If-Modified-Since" filter is applied
When a contact is created in Xero it is not until after an invoice has been created that it gets converted to a customer (or supplier). Which is expected.
However when the "If-Modified-Since" filter is used on the GET Contacts endpoint where the "If-Modified-Since" date is after the contact is created but before the conatct as made into a supplier (i.e. after the isCustomer or isSuppler flag flips from false to true in the body of the Contact response) then the contact is not returned in the response.
I sugget a change that when a contact is converted to a…

Add a Quantity column in the inventory watch list on the Dashboard
Currently on the Dashboard you cannot see the quantity on hand. It would be easier for tracked items on the Dashboard to have a quantity column, so that it's easier for smaller firms to keep track and be able to place orders efficiently.

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.

Reconciliation API
It is very important to add an API that would allow us to pull the reconciliation data in order to connect it to our customized platform where we can add more AI logic which will make reconciliation much faster and easier.
We can pull all bills and invoices, and it would be great if we can integrate the reconciliation of Xero in order. this way our developers can implement the logic that works for our business15 votes -
Modified date on product items should uodate when the on-hand quantity changes
When you change something simple on a product item (say the description) then a request for modified since returns this item.
But if the stock in-hand figure changes (because you've sent an invoice) then the modified date doesn't change and this item isn't returned in the atli query.
So, in effect there is no easy to tell (via API using modified dates) when the stock on- hand has changed. You would have to load all items every ten minutes to know what the current in-hand stock is... And then you would get rate limiting issues.

Lets make the integrations with client details seemless
Challenge:
We love using Xero there are so many pluses! But…we also use add-ons which integrate with Xero. When information is pushed and pulled through, if our clients have misspelt their company name, or even written Limited as Ltd (or vice versa) it creates a whole new client in Xero even if the client currently exists (eg.if purchasing tickets through Eventbrite). We have three integrations going so this can happen three different times and for our administrators and accounts team…a logistical nightmare .
Solution:
I’m pretty sure a code can be developed that recognizes elements in a company name (or…
