  2. Attachments (one actually) are permitted for Receipts and Accounts Payable. They would also be very useful for Accounts Receivable (invoices to be sent to customers).

    Common attachments to be emailed with the Invoice are timesheets, quotes, and copies of acceptance certificates.

    Attachments help getting the customer to approve an invoice, in turn helping to get the cash back faster.

  4. similar to Xero for Office but online. There are many international users who will love to have invoices in their own language.

    In the December 2010 release of Xero, we added a feature for users to define custom branding themes using .docx invoice templates. These templates are used to generate PDFs of invoices and statements. These docx invoice templates can use any language you choose.

    See http://blog.xero.com/2010/12/design-your-own-invoices/ for more informaiton.

    The Xero API has since been enhanced to allow invoices to be created, referencing different branding themes. Once an invoice has been created, the PDF of the invoice can be downloaded via the API.

    See http://developer.xero.com/api-overview/http-get/ and http://blog.xero.com/developer/api/invoices/ for more information.

  5. Allow access to the GL export via the API to allow integration into custom reporting solutions

  7. Example http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/6735/invoicelinebreaksexampl.png

    Add the ability to enter invoice items without specifying quantity, unit price or anything else. And have all these fields blank on the invoice. You can already do this through xero, just not via the API.

    Perhaps some sort of line seperator item?

  8. oAuth1.0a was developed in 2009 and is so complicated it just doesn't make it a viable option to maximise the Xero API with any simplicity. Most organisations have at least moved to oAuth2.0.

    How about it Xero, what's the chance of moving with the times?

  9. At the moment the invoice Status field only shows draft/submitted/authorised/paid.

    Would be realy great to be able to see if an invoice was emailed after authorisation, and also if the invoice has been emailed once fullpayment has been made.

    Thanks

  10. IsReconciled is included in the Payment API, but is not included when multiple payments are returned.

    This would be exceedingly useful for monitoring which payments have been reconciled, without having to individually request their entire details details in separate API requests.

  11. Include AccountID in LineItem in Invoices API.

    Currently only AccountCode is shown in LineItems. Absence of AccountID renders cached invoices invalid when account's code is changed. Moreover, there is no guaranteed method to determine whether cached invoice became invalid.

    After modification of account code certain cached invoices may have outdated account codes pointing to non-existent accounts. Or, what a horror, to different existing accounts, if previously-used account code was recycled. The latter is horrifying because if cached invoice points to non-existent account one may simply refetch the invoice, but if account code was recycled, there is no way to figure…

  12. We used to get OAuth 1.0a app history on developer.xero.com/myapps but no longer for OAuth 2.0 apps. Can we have this back?

  13. All that is required is that the Invoice API be changed to allow posting to the bank accounts. Then it will serve as a general transaction import function.

  14. Allow a oauth_callback URL to be specified for each call to authenticate rather than a single URL location for the entire application.

  17. As far as I can tell you can't get contactGroups when doing a GET request for all contacts. You can only retrieve them when requesting a singular contact.

  18. Currently we can populate items and accounts through API calls but we cannot remove them using a delete API call.

    I understand if an Item is being referenced withing an Invoice Item it probably can't be deleted, but would like the ability to at least flag the item or account so that it can no longer be used.

  19. Enable attachments on credit notes - support the files functionality in Xero via the API so files can be attached to credit notes in Xero.

    Do you have some interesting use cases? Share your ideas so we can assess the priority of this feature.
