    This suggestion is well overdue for an update!

    Support for updating the chart of the accounts was released back on the 4th of May.

    We also have the Setup endpoint for the bulk creation of chart of accounts. See the conversions guide for more details on that http://developer.xero.com/documentation/api-guides/conversions/.

    The only outstanding functionality is to be able to update bank accounts. I’ve created another post to track demand for that specific feature:

    https://xero.uservoice.com/forums/5528-xero-core-api/suggestions/9679785-update-bank-accounts
  3. Please considering providing response types in JSON as JSON is much easier to process in PHP. Please consider doing this but letting us append an extension to the URL, i.e.

    https://api.xero.com/api.xro/2.0/Accounts.json
    https://api.xero.com/api.xro/2.0/Accounts.xml
    https://api.xero.com/api.xro/2.0/Accounts (defaults to xml)

    This approach would let you support other response types too.

  5. Adding a GUID to the credit note line items as used by the invoice line item would allow for more efficient retrieval of data .

  6. Retrieve reports such as P&L, trial balance & budget by tracking category.

    Our customers have requested for the ability to import their tracking categories from Xero into our program for reporting purposes. Any idea when the API will support this?

    Thanks for your votes everyone. We have released the ability to retrieve the P&L and balance sheet reports by tracking today: http://blog.xero.com/developer/v2-release-notes/

    While budgets by budget (tracking) is available within the main Xero application, we were unable to fit that into this release – we have a new uservoice request thread if you still want to see this feature (http://xero.uservoice.com/forums/5528-xero-api/suggestions/3267328-budget-summary-report-by-budget) but we hope most of you will find the above sufficient.

  7. Have the ability get get payments via the PaymentID and also create payments via POST

  9. The majority of our invoices are for many hundred thousands of units, each of which cost something like USD$0.00015.

    The API currently rounds this LineAmount to 0.00 then complains that my total doesn't equal the sum of the lines.

  10. Usually my quotes and Tax invoices have different information. In the quotes is always useful to include some basic terms. In the Tax invoice only payment info.

    Every time I need to send a quote I need to change the invoice settings which is time consuming.

  11. Currently you can only retrieve line items by specifying a single invoice. Please make the functionality similar to the journals and allow the data to be paged using an offset of some sort.

  13. It would be good to be able to permanently remove the add-on authentication access from the Xero ledger to clean things up when a user deletes an account.

  14. According to the http://blog.xero.com/developer/api/BankTransactions/ page, "This endpoint does not return payments applied to invoices or transfers between bank accounts".

    While there is a separate API for payments to invoices, one doesn't exist for Bank Transfers. Please can it be added?

  15. Currently it is impossible to automatically check if transactions occurred as they should. It would be nice if there was an API that allowed transactions to be read so this checking can occur.

  18. I would like to create batch deposits though the API. These show up as Payments:multiple in the account transactions. Currently the API even strips out BankTransactions when you try to view one of these via the BankTransactionID.

  19. At present when a GET is performed on the Credit Notes end point, the LineItem elements are not returned. On other endpoints this issue is alleviated with the option of Paging, which when used returns all elements.

    At present we are forced to GET a list of list of all Credit Notes that have been modified since the last GET and then loop through each Credit Note making an API call for each individual Credit Note just so that we can get the LineItems. The issue with this is that we are often exceeding the 60 second rate limit.

    If…
