  1. When entering a bill, could there be an option included to repeat certain information on the next entry?

    This feature requests really applies to Bill entry. Is it possible to include a feature where there is an option to re-enter a new bill to the same supplier and where the date previously entered will automatically repeat? This would make data entry quite a bit quicker.

  2. Update the UpdatedDateUtc value on an invoice when an invoice is sent or unsent via the Xero web interface

    Sadly this is a bug not a feature request ...

    We have found and verified that invoices that are sent via the Xero web UI do not update the UpdatedDateUtc value. In the case of synchronising to an external system this makes it difficult to keep the invoice status in sync (so we can avoid expensive API calls).

    Typical use case is:

    1. A lot of invoices are created - these sync to our local system.
    2. We track the latest modified date and store for future syncs.
    3. Invoices are sent from Xero - webhooks trigger for these.
    4. We then check with…

  4. Include ContactNumber in the response when fetching a single Purchase Order

    When requesting a list of Purchase Orders the <Contact><ContactNumber> field is included in the response but this is missing when requesting individual Purchase Orders. Please fix this.

  5. reminders

    Include as part of the Invoice api, a reminders node listing the date/s reminders have been sent, rather than expanding the separate InvoiceReminders request.

  6. AccountID to come across with Payments when getting Invoices from Xero API.

    Hi there,

    At most when I am doing a GET for Invoice details; the payment details that come across do not have the AccountID

    This is the maximum amount of information I am ever getting from a Payment on an Invoice

    PaymentID => 22974891-3689-4694-9ee7-fd2ba917af55
    Date => 2017-10-18T00:00:00
    Amount => 148.50
    Reference => Chq 409

    But if I do a Get on the Payment ID I can grab the full details;

    Can we get the AccountID to appear within the Payments array of a GET Invoice request?

    Thanks

  7. Let us customize - Add/ Create fields to suit our businesses!! Myob does.....

    Each business is different and requires different information and fields. = it would be great to be able to customise or add fields.

    currently you can from the purchases to assign expense to customer - Give a Reverse for this option and put this to a sale screen and assign expenses - This would help eliminate double entry as we enter sales before purchases.

    Let us customize to suit our businesses!!

  9. Batch payment API by InvoiceNumber instead of InvoiceID

    Thanks for the current batch payment API. it works with InvoiceID.

    Can you please update this API by allowing to use the InvoiceNumber instead of InvoiceID.

    The InvoiceNumber is much more user-friendly and actually used by accountants instead of the long ID, that needs an extra lookup.

    Can you please let us know when can you update it?

    For example:
    <Payments>
    <Payment>
    <Invoice>

    <InvoiceNumber>ORC1039</InvoiceNumber>
    </Invoice>
    <Reference>ggg</Reference>
    <Amount>10.00</Amount>
    </Payment>

  10. Include TotalDiscount on GET /invoices

    Please return the TotalDiscount when searching for multiple invoices.

    Xero, indeed, only returns the TotalDiscount when searching for ONE invoice, by its UUID or Invoice Number.

  11. Add some extra data to web hook events

    Specifically for Invoices, some items like 'status' would help the code responding to the webhook to decide what to do - otherwise for every web hook event we need to access Xero to get the invoice - that's a lot of data when all I need is the status.

    There may be a case for some other fields to be included.

  12. Enhance endpoints such as Invoices to allow filtering on LineItems sub fields

    For performance purposes and to keep the amount of data in transit down, it would be good to enhance the Invoices and other endpoints to allowing filtering on LineItems.

    For instanced, AccountCode, ItemCode or TrackingCategories.

    This will allow devs to query a smaller subset rather than pull all invoices.
