  1. Allow payment and subsequent dishonour to be allocated against customer invoice.

    We have customers who frequently have their payments to us dishonoured. If we could allocate the payment and subsequent dishonour against the invoice it would become more visible to us and the customer when their statement is issued. Currently the customer can be quite unaware this is happening.

  5. Custom IDs

    Add a custom ID for all Objects on Xero.

    We're building a system to manage and sync data across multiple platforms, and we're having many issues keep data in sync with bulk inserts and writing back to our own IDs. For example when bulk inserting payments we cannot match them to the payments on the system as there is no unique number we can pass through and no other field is reliable. Due to the API rate limits we're forced to use Bulk inserts so we cannot update on an individual basis.

  6. reminder

    Optimise the collection process by having an automatic 'reminder' date (day/week) or a manual action to remind you to follow up outstanding account for payment. A calendar format to set action / follow update. Perhaps integrate with MS Outlook to include email attachments for follow up action.

  8. have an option to hide transactions that already have receipts attached, or have an icon showing which transactions have receipts attached

    On the mobile app, please have an icon appear next to transactions that already have a receipt (or picture of) attached to it, which would make it much easier to find transactions that need receipts.

    There could also be an option to hide transactions that have already been tagged with a receipt.

    I have seen both features on other receipt tracking apps, such as Chase.
    Thank you!

  9. entering numerous invoices from order numbers

    When entering numerous invoices it would be great if we could search a purchase order, mark that as billed, then go straight to another search instead of having to go through 3 steps to be able to search for another purchase order number again

  10. cater for invoices to be drafted/prepared off-line

    I normally work in areas where mobile/cell signals a poor. I therefore have to keep a separate Timesheet and invoice when I am back in the office. I find this incredibly irritating, because invoices done later always take a lot longer. My own accounting system based on spreadsheets did not have this restriction. Xero may in the long run save my bookkeeper some time, but for me, the person at the coal face, it is quite a lot less efficient because of this inability to do invoices on customer sites.

  11. View community posts as JSON

    This is for the community forum.

    I specifically want it to be able to fetch reviews about a company as we are looking to build a dashboard that combines all of the platforms that we get regular reviews on (Shopify, Xero, GetApp, Capterra) in order to better manage this process.

    For example, it would be good to be able to fetch this as JSON.

  12. on the Dashboard have a post it note where you can leave messages for other users that log in!!

    would be great on the Dashboard to have a post it note.

  15. 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.

  16. Add 'does not contain' to the list of filter options in bank rules

    I have a group of transactions coming in through the bank where only one small part of the refence is common to them all - this I have used for a bank rule.

    However, there are other transactions including this small suffix which get accidently picked up from time to time - I would like to be able to exclude these from the bank rule to prevent accidental mispostings.

  17. GET Organisation: expose 'edition' field

    It would be useful for us (and I'm assuming others) if you were able to find out which edition (Starter, Standard etc) of Xero an organisation was configured as

  20. Can we have the old feature of the A-Z tabs at the top when searching for contacts?

    We used to have A-Z tabs on the top of the window to enable us to search for a contact. Could this feature be re-enabled as currently we cannot browse the contacts - we have to type in a name.
