  3. Now the receipt is downloadable in the transaction:payment. However it would also be great if the receipt downloadable through API without the need of user to go in the xero account and download it.

  5. Many people want the bank reconciliation api feature but since Xero wont do that, here are 2 ideas for helping some people reconcile invoices

    1. Allow multiple search words in the search box
      We have clients who pay 50+ invoices all in one batch. They give us a statement in pdf and csv but we have no way to enter that into the xero search except for 1 at a time. Allow us to make a list of invoice ids as a comma separated string and copy paste that into the search box

    2. Next to the search box, add an upload…

  6. As the Organisation creation wizard limits the import of Chart of Accounts to 1000 when they exceed this they need to be imported via the API. Causing additional pain to transfer the bank balance from the chart of account type pushed in via the API to a newly created chart of account to connect the bank feed to.

    The constraints on the API is that the Credit cards and Paypal account types can only be created as type Bank Account type. This means that the client is unable to connect the correct Bank feed as the Account Type is incorrect.

  9. A U.S. nonprofit's statement of activities groups expenses by activity, not by account. It would be helpful to be able to add an account to a blank report more than once so the account can appear under different groups, and to be able to apply a filter to each group by one or more tracking categories. This would allow us to create a report using the Blank Report template that mimics the statement of activities.

  10. I've previously used ODATA when filtering requests - e.g. MYOB.

    It provides an 'IN' operator for the filter, so you can request using a list of items.

    e.g. ?where=Code IN ('1234','1245','1236','1237','1238')

    Obviously, this translates directly to the common SQL clause - WHERE column_name IN (value1, value2, vlaue3, etc)

    Thus avoiding the need for multiple request, or paging an ALL accounts request and then filtering locally.

  11. For example any network, process issues etc may cause a request to create an invoice (or other resource) to occur, but the response to never be recorded. Potentially causing the process to retry this action.

    One way is to add a idempotency key which Stripe for example does nicely here: https://stripe.com/docs/api/idempotent_requests

    Another way would be to have a non consumer facing external ID, for both the resource and lineitems that can be set by the application and then check for its existence later. Or allow the application to set the UUIDs for these resources

    For something as accurate as accounting,…

  14. There are currently endpoints for adding time logging to Xero, but not for interacting with the running timers.

    It would be really helpful to be able to do this, so that I (and others) could have external tools (in my case a StreamDeck) able to start and stop timers.

    I would also like to be able to request information on what the timer is currently on in order to get live feedback.

  15. I would love to be able to send a remittance advice via API. There are a couple of scenarios where this is would be useful:
    1. Monitoring the bank feed for reconciled payments and sending the Remittance ass appropriate
    2. Generating a payment file from a list of invoices that are being paid and sending the remittance as appropriate

  17. Sync 0.00 value invoices and credit notes from Stock&Buy to Xero

    Some online orders will be synced to S&B with 0.00 value to ensure our stock are correct. We will add the sales invoices into Xero base on these orders fortnightly statement. These 0 value invoices can be synced to Xero, but the refunds can't. This will cause the inventory difference between S&B and Xero.

    Thank you.

  20. CURRENTLY

    The Assets API only allows POST requests of one Asset at a time.

    ISSUE

    If you need to create a lot of assets, that's a lot of POST requests.

    SOLUTION

    Support batch POST requests e.g. Payload = { Assets: [ ...assets ] }
