Limiting Inventory Items in ApprovalMax to Active Items
We have a number of Tracked Inventory Items which have been made inactive as they have been replaced with Untracked Inventory Items. While they are not available from the drop-down in the Item field in Xero, they still remain in ApprovalMax. I contacted ApprovalMax re this and they advised that "due to a bug in Xero API we cannot filter active items from archived", and recommended that we contact Xero and request that this bug be fixed.

I can see that enabling write on this flag via the API may be more complex and need more testing, but surely at least exposing it's value for read-only purposes would be trivial and require minimal testing!!

Agree with all comments below. Should be very easy to do (do you guys hire interns over the summer break??) and will have a big benefit to everyone needing this feature. Please give us an update.

Any update on this small feature. We do not want to display inactive items to our customers for selection within invoices. Thanks.

Also require this for our project

Still waiting for this attribute to be available. It is very important!

This would seem like a really easy addition to make, at least in the simple case of showing the status.

I don't understand why such an important field is not available.

This is a must and so important. please and thank you.

If an inventory item is in use, the delete function is not permitted. In the UI the inactivate function is recommended. Please expose this in the API.
