  1. If I have a product or service that has a monthly recurring invoices.

    There can be lots of customers that are invoiced monthly for this same product (xero recurring invoice).

    If I change the price for the inventory item they are getting invoiced for monthly, I was told by the help team that I will have to manually edit every single invoice that includes that item one at a time, to change the price?

    This seems like a very big task for such a common occurrence, so there should be some automatic way of doing it, either from an API,…

  2. If a customer wants to settle more than one invoice they have to view individual invoices and enter payment details each time - this method is onerous for customers.

    It is preferable to send a statement and allow the customer to "pay now" on the statement balance due - In effect bulk settling invoices.

  3. Currently there is no way to report on the status of purchase orders, or details of what has been ordered. I think we should have a basic report exportable to excel with the following headings:

    PO number,
    supplier,
    details of items on order,
    date raised,
    date due,
    amount,
    total,
    gst,
    grand total,
    status,
    person who created the PO.

  4. You have a short list of payroll companies who can already interface with Xero accounting software, but I cannot find the format a general ledger needs to be in, in order to update the GL in Xero.

    It needs to be easier to become one of those payroll companies, or you need to provide an import function and provide an import spec sheet.

  5. We need a fast way to reclassify bulk transactions from any type of account, location, or class. QuickBooks has the Reclassify Transactions feature and Xero should have the same.We also need the ability to change account types for bank accounts to any Asset, Liability, Equity, Income, and Expense accounts. My suggestion, give us Xero Partners accountants tools like QuickBooks does for us. Our clients do not get these tools, but QuickBooks ProAdvisors get them. Xero can do the same for us Xero Partners.

  6. It is really great to be able to see outstanding Sales invoices and draft invoices. Would be fantastic if i could also see on the dashboard Bill amounts owing and outstanding.

  7. When trying to complete a credit note you cant amend the amount on a invoice that has already received a payment this is frustrating as we run promotions all the time and it is annoying to have to either delete the invoice and reenter it or delete the payment and re enter it, this is more work load and it would be more benifical to be able to enter the amount that you are wanting to enter rather then it automatically deleting the amount outstanding on the invoice, will they be able to make this more user friendly by entering…

  8. It would be great if there was an internal payment gateway system built into Xero which would allow us to store customer credit card information against their card file data masked so that it couldn't be re-read after being entered, and then trigger a payment against that card either from an invoice against that card or through the API. We do not want to have to store credit card details on our system nor are we keen to use an external credit card gateway which would still need us to store those details in the database somewhere. Storing the details…

  9. When selecting transactions to match bulk bank payments the columns allow for only individual sorting. It would be nice to be able to sort by customer and date rather than just either. I suppose you could apply nested sorting to all column selecting areas of Xero.

  10. Currently, there is a feature to add a client code for businesses who handle multiple clients. However this code can only be entered after the client is setup as a separate step. It would be quicker to optionally add the client code as part of the setup process.

  15. I am able to create employee with first name and last name. I want to update the records with detailed information. But 2.0 version does not have that capability while 1.0 has it. ( http://developer.xero.com/documentation/payroll-api/employees/) .

    can we get it in 2.0 version as well ?

    The Core accounting API employees endpoint (http://developer.xero.com/documentation/api/employees/) is very different and much more limited in function. It is related to the pay run function in Xero which is quite basic and there are no plans to make any changes to this.

    The Payroll API employee endpoint (http://developer.xero.com/documentation/payroll-api/employees/) is more extensive as it is an API to the Xero payroll application (currently only available in Australia).

    If you have more questions about using our APIs, they are best asked in our developer forum https://community.xero.com/developer/

  17. The bank statement report API works great. For each bank line it has the date, amount, particulars, code and reference fields, however the "Analysis Code" field is not available, although it is available via the normal Xero interface on the Bank Statement view. Sometimes this field contains important transaction identifying information. Please make this available via the Report API.

  19. For reviewing yearend accounts, we review against the Trial Balance from the prior year, therefore it would be great if in the Trial Balance there was an option to view periods (or Last year) etc as you can do with the Balance Sheet and Profit & Loss Statements.

  20. At the moment, they can't be set as far as I can see and so every time I pull in an inventory item those two fields are blank and have to be set manually. For certain inventory items those two fields are always the same. In Sage you could press F6 to set from the cell above which would have been a workaround but here I have no choice but to do everything manually each time.
