  1. It would be valuable to be able to obtain a status or timestamp of the last successful sync with the bank account. This way, we can inform customers if there is a problem with their bank or if their transactions or accounts are out of date.

  2. Currently we can get the amount owing by querying individual contacts. However, given the API limits this becomes impossible to do on a daily basis for reporting once a reasonable number of customers is being queried.

    While it's possible it's better to do it in a web-hook-update kind of way when new information comes into Xero and is pushed externally, it would make more sense to me to have an endpoint that simply allows a contact summary to be obtained in a single API call which could have simple aggregates, like amount owing, shown.

  3. I have clients that do there own bookkeeping but are on partial exemption VAT and they are forever changing things in prior VAT periods. It would be useful to have a date of the transaction in all reports as it would be easier to make the required adjustments. This also relates to aged debtors/creditors and transaction reports as it would speed up the process of identifying any new transactions that were posted in earlier periods.

  4. While creating the sales invoice via API, usually we check if the contact is already created or not, to search the contact the name/keyword must be used in the same case that is available on Xero, if its different then it will not search.

  7. it would be great for Xero to be able to identify duplication with synching data from other applications. Xero just can not rely on third party.
    it's going to be better selling point for Xero .

  8. Need to have a way to generate OnlineInvoiceUrl while creating Invoices in single API call so no need to do api calls twice to get the onlineInvoiceUrl using GET https://api.xero.com/api.xro/2.0/Invoices/9b9ba9e5-e907-4b4e-8210-54d82b0aa479/OnlineInvoice

  10. Why Office 365 backup? Well, to put it simply, taking initiatives necessary to secure important organizational information is important to the survival of any organization. Attackers often target the information that is most sensitive and would fetch them the highest ransom. If recent trends and researches on these trends are anything to go by then these attacks are getting more sophisticated with each passing day.

    The best way to protect the data most important to you is to be in complete control of it yourself. EdbMails Office 365 backup is a one stop solution that not only helps you create…

  11. Please return the TotalDiscount when searching for multiple invoices.

    Xero, indeed, only returns the TotalDiscount when searching for ONE invoice, by its UUID or Invoice Number.

  12. Provide ability to turn off invoice reminder notifications for specific customers via the API.

    Failing this, provide a way to set up notification rules so certain patterns of customers aren't notified of follow ups.

  14. We have just changed from SAASU and I was very surprised (and disappointed) that there are no supplier item codes in XERO items.

    It is common practice that companies are not able to use the same item code as the supplier for their own purposes.

    We would have thought that this would be common practice with accounting systems.

  15. Currently only 4 fields are supported through the API for Bank Transfers transactions – Amount, From Bank Account, To Bank Account & Date.

    It would be great if the remaining fields that are available via Xero's UI could also be supported in the API:
    API - namely:
    - From Account: Accounts Export Branch
    - To Account: Accounts Export Branch
    - Reference
    - 2 Amount fields (if From & To bank accounts are in different - currencies).

  16. I would like to be able to post over-payments to a control account instead of to a bank account as all other regular payments can be done to control accounts.

    If you attempt to post an overpayment via the banktransactions endpoint to a non bank account , you get "the specified bank account details does not match a known bank account" error.

    However, it is possible to post an overpayment to a non bank account via the UI. It would be great if this could be replicated via the API

    • need API endpoints for this so that we can customise and show full summary of an account as otherwise the API is very2 not helpful for customisation. Thanks XERO for great job to date but this issue has a lot of requests in the forum.

  17. Can we please have the ability to view all additional contacts, first name, last name and email address, if we use the GET request to pull ALL contacts.

    At the moment this is only viewable, by looking up individual contacts which can quickly use up API calls which I need for the other applications of my web app.

  18. Similar to the fixed assets tool, we need a way of amortising prepaid things like yearly software subscriptions
    A system similar to the fixed assets register depreciation tool, a current assets register could automatically track and consume prepayments according to a defined schedule

  19. This is not a suggestion is a petition.

    The payload of the organisation used to bring the email set up in the organisation itself, until 1 week ago that broke my integration,
    My integration serves invoices to the Costa Rican Government IRS and is broken at the moment, had to set up a default/dummy email on the part of the invoice that says who emits the Invoice and there will be issues with people not accepting Invoices due to the default email.

    The customers of my customer will get their Invoices not accepted and those are >10k Invoices.

    My customer…
