  2. We have identified an issue where the API response for certain line items is returning only a single LineItemID in scenarios where two distinct IDs are expected (specifically regarding the mapping between a transaction line and its associated tracking category).
    This request is to ensure the payload correctly returns both IDs to allow for accurate reconciliation and data mapping in third-party integrations.

  3. Requesting the inclusion of the TrackingOptionID directly within the LineItem object for the Journals (Manual Journals) endpoint. Currently, developers have to perform additional lookups or cross-reference tracking names to get the specific ID associated with a journal line.
    Adding the ID directly to the response will streamline integration workflows, reduce API call overhead, and provide a more robust way to map tracking data across different parts of the Xero ecosystem.

  4. Overview
    This proposal recommends enhancing the search functionality within the Manual Journals screen by enabling users to search directly using the Journal ID/Number.

    Current Limitation
    At present, users must rely on journal narration or other descriptive fields to locate specific journal entries. This often requires manually saving or noting down text, which can be inefficient and prone to error, especially when managing large volumes of journals. Alternatively, there is the journal report where you can search for journal ID's however this requires more steps and a more lengthy process when the simplicity of searching for journal number in the screen…

  5. I have been having an issue with Xero Me App. Well not an issue, but a User-Interface pain point. I just had the same comment from a client so thought I'd bring it to your attention.

    When we use the Xero Me App, and enter a photo of a an Expense receipt, then Analyse, it pops up a black "We're analysing this" for like 3-4 seconds and this covers the Add Expenses button.

    When entering a pile of receipts, this a real pain. We have to wait for the pop-up to disappear, after an infuriating 3-4 secs, before we can…

  6. The Batch Payments API returns a ReconciledStatementLineID, but there is no documented API endpoint that lets one retrieve that line.

  7. It would be great to be able to onboard Suppliers contact information just like you can do with employees now. Let the Supplier complete all the information themselves in regard to their details etc.

  8. Currently, the XPM API only allows retrieving client bank account details. There is no way for third‑party apps to create or update these bank account fields through the API.
    This limitation means practices need to manually enter bank details after creating a client, which slows down onboarding and reduces the efficiency of integrations.
    Please consider adding API support to:
    Create client bank account details
    Update existing client bank account details

    This would improve workflow automation and give third‑party apps full capability to manage client data.
    Thank you for considering this feature.

  9. Remittances should be sent automatically after a bill has been paid. After I pay a bill I get a small pop-up in the bottom left corner in Chrome with a select link to send a remittance advice... which disappears quickly! Many times I have had to go back into the paid bill, and send the remittance again.

    Alternatively, when setting up the contact there should be able to check a box that says "send remittance automatically".

    Please have this as a priority for 2026, instead of all the cosmetic changes!

  11. Our invoices always have multiple Line Items, often with the same quantity and Amounts, but with different descriptions.

    We need a way to ensure certainty in matching the Xero Line Items in the API response with those on our side.

    At present the only option we have is to iterate over the Description text, which is fraught with error.

  13. When a supplier payment appears on the bank feed before the corresponding purchase invoice has been entered into Xero, reconciling the payment can lead to double counting. Currently, if you record the payment as a spend money transaction and then later enter the invoice, Xero treats them separately. This causes extra work and creates reconciliation inaccuracies.

    Introduce a bank rule specifically for supplier overpayments. When the system detects a payment to a known supplier that exceeds the amount of an existing invoice or occurs before any invoice exists, the bank rule would:

    1. Post the transaction directly to the payables ledger…

  15. I currently look after 10 customers, soon to increase to 12. Under the Home tab there's a list of only 5 recently used organisations. This means I regularly have to 'search' for the organisation I need, which isn't very user friendly.

    My limited programming experience suggests that the size of that dropdown list is driven by a paramer, currently set to 5. Assuming that is the case, it should be relatively straightforward to increase the parameter to 10, or even 15.

    Can that be implemented please, to make life easier for heavy users like myself.

  16. Our main use case for webhooks is to indicate whether we need to refresh the data. Because of this, we don't need an update for every change that a customer makes. If we could respond to a webhook message indicating that we didn't want to receive any more requests for a period of time (1 hour, 6 hours, 1 day etc) then that would save processing and bandwidth on both sides.

  17. Hi Xero team,

    When creating invoices, Xero automatically pre-fills the account number it thinks is appropriate. However, this suggested account is often incorrect, and because many account numbers look similar, it’s easy to miss the error and time-consuming to fix later.

    Suggestion: Option to Disable Automatic Account Number Pre-Fill on Invoices
    It would be very helpful if there were an option to disable automatic account number pre-filling, allowing users to select the correct account manually each time.
    This small change would reduce errors and make the invoicing process more accurate for users who prefer complete control over account selection.
    Thank…

  19. It would be useful when processing transfers, and when searching for specific transactions for corrections, if you could view say two different bank accounts side by side on the same tab.
