  1. Import bank statement lines via the API

    Be able to import bank statement lines into a bank account in Xero. This would be useful for custom bank accounts or banks that do not have a direct feed into Xero

    We continue to see great success with our new Bank Feeds API with a pipeline over over 30 Financial Institutes currently integrating and positive feedback from customers using these bank feeds.

    We’ve completed our roadmap for the next financial year and have decided to not implement a public version at this time in order to maximise opportunities in other areas of our bank feeds product, in particular PSD2 and Open Banking.

    This feature request is still on our backlog and we will be keeping an eye on this forum to understand the use case for a public bank statements API going forward.

    If you are a customer of a financial institute not integrated with Xero and could benefit from having statement data in Xero, encourage them to make use of our API, they can contact us here https://www.xero.com/nz/partner-programs/financialweb/contact/

  2. Unreconciled items in the bank feed via the API

    Allow the count and or the list of unreconciled items in the bank feed to be exposed via the API

  3. integrate batch payment export into a banks payment system

    I believe it is possible to export a batch payment file for subsequent import into your internet banking solution. It would create efficiencies to build outward direct bank feeds to set up payments on Bills. Then make it available via the API to set due/ payment dates and create payment batches.

  4. 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…

  5. 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.

  6. deposit

    Create Batch Deposits -
    https://help.xero.com/au/BatchDepositCreate
    Does the API support this specific function? Is there a functional issue as to why this is not supported, or just never requested/not enough votes??
    Apologies if it is supported - I could not find it anywhere on developer pages etc.
    THANKS

  8. Fix Bug: Override TaxAmount in BankTransaction Endpoint

    Suggestion: Allow the overriding of the TaxAmount within the BankTransaction Endpoint. This currently works through the UI but not the API.

    Issue: Importing a 'Spend' BankTransaction using the API with an adjusted TaxAmount results in a Validation Error:
    [Message] => Tax amount 936.09 is incorrect for INPUT2 tax type, should be 187.22

    Works: Using the UI
    Doesn't Work: Using the API

  10. Save Bank Statements in xero

    It would be great if there were somewhere within each of the Bank Accounts where we could upload/scan and store Bank Statements within xero as auditors need to see these regardless of whether we say that the account is reconciled.

  11. I want to delete BankStatement via API

    In many cases, people make mistakes. On my Xero application, it happens too. I want to enable people to delete the transactions made by mistake.

  12. lock a bank account once reconciled

    It is too easy to stuff up the bank reconciliation. There is no alert that the account has been reconciled when you are changing transactions. There should be a way to lock a bank once it has been reconciled.

    Hi, eBay announced a new payment method called "eBay managed payment", not using PayPal anymore and basically eBay doing the same job with PayPal. Now, we need to define eBay as a new bank account and need to import transactions automatically.

  15. Return account & bank connection status

    It would be valuable to be able to obtain a status or timestamp of the last successful sync with the bank account. This way, we can inform customers if there is a problem with their bank or if their transactions or accounts are out of date.

  16. Allow BankTransactions to import to Accounts with "Enable payments to this account" ticked

    Currently Bank Transactions can only be posted to accounts of Bank type. It would be great if they could be posted to any account that has the "Enable payments to this account" box ticked. For example a customer pays a deposit (prepayment) via electronic or online means - some users like to put this to a clearing account or undeposited funds before posting to the bank account.

  18. Bank Rules Ideas

    Hello, I have a couple of ideas...
    1. Add Alphabetical SORT feature in Bank Rules
    2. Duplicate an existing Bank Rule, slightly modify and choose a different bank account to add it too.
    Thank you
    Warm regards
    Christel

  19. Allow Bank Transactions - Receive Type to allow a line with a Quantity and zero dollar line/unit amount as does the UI..

    The UI allows for a bank transaction line with a quantity but zero dollar unit amount and line amount. The API should allow the same function.

  20. Enable Bank feeds to public

    Allow bank feed to be retrieved via Xero API. All I want to do is allow my staff to see what payments have been received in the last day so they can release equipment. Very basic. But I go through paying the subscription and setting up the whole thing just to find that obvious and needed option is not available?? If I try to setup an API with the NAB thats going to be a nightmare. Its all there in Xero - if we log in we can see it. So why not allow access with an API?
