Expose the new Expense feature via the API
Xero previously had an Expense Claims public API available (https://api.xero.com/api.xro/2.0/ExpenseClaims)
However since 2018, a new Xero Expense product has replaced Expense Claims and any new organisation is forced on the new expense product. This new expense product currently has no available API.
This is a regression as the previous API allowed developers to build integration with the Xero's expense features, however it is now not possible anymore.
There is an existing trello card for this feature however I do not understand why it is still in the "nice to have" column although the number of votes is higher…

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 -
Be able to filter by items inside a list. e.g. Filter invoices by Line Item's Tracking Category
Be able to filter by fields inside an object which has lists. Such as Invoice's Line Items.
These fields contain important information such as tracking category, amounts, totals which would be a good functionality if one is able to filter using these information so to create more detailed reports14 votes -
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…

Update Bank Transaction created by Bank Transfer
When you create a bank transfer, two bank transactions are created one on each bank account. There is no way to edit or reconcile the bank transactions that are created via the API. I would like the ability to do that.

make reporting api developer friendly
The Xero reporting api needs an overhaul to enable to report content in a format that makes it much easier to parse and retrieve data from it. The current way the data is represented requires custom parsers to be created at the consumer's end

Webhooks - support for Payments endpoint
Now that the Webhooks for Contacts and Invoices is in open beta please add support for the Payments endpoint as the next endpoint to be supported. Many of our customers need to be notified when a customer has paid an invoice and update their internal CRM systems. Would love to be able to do this without having to poll for new payments.

Allow Paging for Journals GET
Please consider adding Paging for the Journals GET.
Journals represent a considerable size of data when extracting for e.g. a full financial year.
Alternative solution could be filtering options.
It would be beneficial to be able to either FILTER for a range of data or PAGE the data (for timely returns from the web service).The modified-since and offset options only allow for smaller, recent datasets, not for smaller ranges of data from for e.g. the previous year.
Eg.

Trigger e-Invoice via API
We create invoices in Xero using Custom Connector for a number of customers, depending on customer requirements after creating the invoice we either trigger the email of the invoice (as per https://developer.xero.com/documentation/api/accounting/invoices/#emailing-an-invoice) or bring a copy of the invoice PDF back to the customers other system for sending from there.
Now that e-Invoicing has been introduced in NZ our customers want to start sending invoices as eInvoices but this can't be achieved via the API currently.

Add User element to Invoices API to allow Suppliers to approve system generated invoices
Added to wrong section, moving here to Invoices.
I'd like to generate draft Bills for my subcontractors via xero api, and let them review and submit the invoice. If the User element is exposed like it is in expense claims, then the invoices will be available to the users that it is attached to, and have the draft invoice role.

Open up the Pay Run (Global) to the API
It is currently not possible to get/post/push data related to the payrun for the global edition. This limits integration with systems who can help with the administration of the payroll.

Add total discount on invoice
My client need to add total discount on entire invoice rather than giving discount on each item.
This would be great if we have such option.
Thanks

Get address lable for my organization
When I create new delivery address for new PO I am able to specify its lable. However when I try to obtain available addresses from my company settings I cannot find address lable only address type. For all delivery addresses this type is the same: DELIVERY.
We would like to list company addresses the way it is done during Purchase Order creation in Xero. The problem is that API does not send back the "Label" of the addresses (bold text like "Postal" or "Physical"). These labels are very important since they are used to set some meaningful name to the…

Assign Linked Transactions to Projects via the API
Using Projects would be a great solution for my company, but without the ability to assign billable expenses to Projects via the API, they are not useful to us.

Tracking CategoryID/OptionID parameters in Trial Balance endpoint.
Adding in the tracking CategoryID and OptionID parameters to the trial balance endpoint would allow for easier & more detailed analysis across multiple tenants in client-specific use cases. The capability exists in the UI via the "new" Trial Balance, so there's a disconnect between the expected level of detail one can get from the UI vs. the API.

include the optionID in the "Get budgets" operation
According to the developer reference here https://developer.xero.com/documentation/api/accounting/budgets
The get budgets operation should include both the tracking category option name and ID.Currently, only the name comes through which means we are forced to name match unless we validate the names via a seperate API call before trusting that budgets are for specific options.
This method we are forced to use does not account for name collisions.
