  1. Currently, it seems that you need to make a separate call to get <Attachments>. Being able to get this supplied on the standard invoices/bank transactions/manual journals/credit notes endpoints when page is given would help lower the number of API calls without much increasing the amount of data sent.

  2. As a building business it would be nice to ascertain the costs of a specific build/client to ensure the company is on track with profit/loss per project.

    When I started out in Xero, and when all purchases were been entered in as drafts, when a certain reference was entered, such as the client name or job number, a running total was always displayed as to how much was spent on a particular build/client.

    Ironically once the purchases were approved and/or paid, upon typing the same specific reference, would no longer provide a tally or what was spent, to be paid…

  3. I use an Add on program with Xero named QuickWin Development. I extract my Balance Sheet from Xero and its sent into Microsoft Excel. It works well except it won't let me extract the balance sheet with editable comparative dates. This is a simple feature when editing the balance sheet inside Xero. So I wonder why you cannot do this when extracting into Excel.

  5. A application that I am working with needs organizational details after connecting to xero, Most of the info we need is available, but several fields exist in the Organization that are not yet exposed via API

    Can we get APIs exposed for Description and Email Address?

    Also, logo might be nice too if possible.

  8. Good Day All,

       Upon importing the default field "Email Address" or [EmailAddress] this field can only accept one and only one email address.  
       After the invoice has gone thru approval you have a To field when you select the 'Email' Buttion.  The sub field to this one is [ContactEmail] but when i added that to my CSV to be imported it was Ignored.  
    

    Please Add [ContactEmail] to the import so after it is approved the billing manager doesn't need to add a "; [extra email address]" to every statement that it is needed for notification.

    Secondly, Xero has a field…

  9. Sagepay is one of the most popular payment gateways used in the UK, it would be a huge benefit to add sagepay as an invoice payment method option in xero.

  13. Enable the ability to split payments on a bank rec coming through the API so we can reconcile merchant payments from two separate machines on 1 day. 1 invoice, 2 payments currently unable to split.

  15. I would like to have the ability to use the API to enter multiple transactions with the ability to commit or rollback, as appropriate - like you do with a database.

  16. We're looking to add Xero into our synchronisation tool, that would allow us to have two way syncing to other systems, such as SharePoint, MS CRM. It would be really useful if we could get a list of rest entities and there schema dynamically so the sync tool would not need to be updated.

  17. We make extensive use of the ContactNumber field for invoicing.
    Can Invoice listing show ContactNumber field next to contact name for each invoice to help with updating/locating drafts?
    Can ContactNumber be shown on contact listing instead of phone or email field for locating contacts?

  18. UK VAT law requires that invoices present VAT amounts in Sterling, even when the invoice is in a separate currency. As a result, it's possible to have a Euro invoice with Sterling VAT amounts. (See VAT Guide 16.4 and 16.3.1). Obviously when charging the customer, these have to be converted to Euros and the total expressed in Euros, but the business owes VAT in Sterling, not Euros.

    Currently it's only possible to specify a single currency per invoice; now, if it were possible to stipulate the exchange rate to be used, that might make matters better, but in general we…

  19. Currently when entering a payment for an invoice in a foreign currency I need to enter the exchange rate. Generally I have to final AUD value and the final USD value, so would prefer the fx rate is calculated automatically.

    In addition, it seems the fx rate has limited precision; I end up needing to put in manual adjustments when reconciling which is also a pain.
