  1. Existing General ledger report gives understanding Summary/detailed Dr and Cr amounts but it does not tell you which Accounts are involved in transactions. Ability to create Summary Ledger for particular Account that shows correspondence with Accounts according recorded transactions. It is very useful to find mistakes if your allocations were wrong. For example, when you created bill and mistakenly choose wrong GST type or expense Account. Another good reason for monthly/quarterly reconciliation AR/AP. For example, creating AR ledger you will see aggregate or detailed amounts of Bank/Cash accounts, GST and Customer deposits. If you made mistake when you reconcile bank…

  5. there's an article for "Creating Bills from Purchase Orders" (https://central.xero.com/s/article/Creating-bills-from-purchase-orders), however I can't find endpoint for this action in accounting API (https://xeroapi.github.io/xero-node/accounting/index.html#api-Accounting).

    Update the status using updatePurchaseOrder (https://xeroapi.github.io/xero-node/accounting/index.html#api-Accounting-updatePurchaseOrder) won't let user create a bill in xero by default.

    Fyi, this is my case detail : (https://central.xero.com/s/case?caseId=5003m00001DLY6B)

    Thanks

  6. Currently when an inventory item's price has been updated, the updated pricing does not automatically apply to repeating invoices. Would love for an option to update be available.

  8. Change of bank account - checkbox and prompt to verify that you have verbally confirmed the account details are correct for Suppliers. Date functionality of when you confirmed would also be beneficial.

  9. I love the new cash flow feature, but I would love the option (a tick box that you could turn on and off) to include draft invoices.

    When I set up a client we sent 3 invoices. I usually send the first, and make the next two as drafts. But this means these are not included in the cash flow projection.

    I would love to be able to see these included or at least an option to choose to see them included.

  12. Our challenge is with our test and verification setup: we have 4 stages of pre-production environments and every environment runs CI (Jenkins) with full tests each night and relevant tests with each code push. With this setup it is very challenging to share and update shared refresh tokens.
    We would like long lived tokens (access and/or refresh) for testing purposes only.
    Other services we work with have been able to change settings on app/client id level.

  13. We are trying to sync customer's Tasks across Xero Projects, currently we have to poll for all Tasks on each Project. Some customers are using 200+ 'active' (state= INPROGRESS) projects, however they are only adding 5-10 Tasks a day spread across these projects.

    If we were able to query the /projects endpoint with a 'If-Modified-Since' parameter (or header) and the result only contained projects either updated direct or those that had associated Tasks added/edited, then we would only need to call /projects/:id/tasks for those ProjectId's, likewise if this endpoint also could be queried with If-Modified-Since then only those new Tasks…

  15. Currently the Xero API allows us to trigger the emailing of a Xero invoice to the customer via a POST command.

    If a Payment Service is already set up in Xero, the emailed invoice should automatically include the Pay Now button.

  17. We are creating purchase orders in Xero which have a purchase order in the format of: 'ABCDE/123'. These are coming from DataBuild. When using the PurchaseOrders API endpoint, we are unable to search for purchase orders due to the forward slash character. Have tried using various escape characters in the API call, but it does not work. The Xero API Explorer also fails when running the same call against the PurchaseOrders endpoint, yet the purchase order exists in Xero. We would like to be able to search for purchase orders using escape characters.

  18. Our business uses deferred income, and my accounts person makes an excel sheet everything month to calculate it (I only discovered this the other day)

    Having revied the invoice API, it would be awesome if

    1) A field called diferredincome to the invoice item, so that we can flag an invoice on creation as diferred, and export that information via the api. The field value would be number of months. E.g. a difered invoice over a year would have the value of 12.

    2) Create a diferred income report using this data.

    3) Create the journal entried for the diferred…

  19. There needs to be a simple way of customising the inbuilt packing slip (and accessing it) rather than having to go in and change the view.

    Or can you please amend it to at least include a signatory section for the recipient to sign as Proof of Collection and change the name to Delivery Note.

  20. Currently, project endpoints are only available for projects, tasks and time. Unfortunately, expense for projects aren't available. Projects are an important feature for many businesses including construction and I've had numerous clients request this. This information can only be pulled via a detailed project report but the layout and format are very limited. So if the client would like to integrate the data to a CRM or format it a particular way they aren't able to.
