Import bank statement lines via the API
Be able to import bank statement lines into a bank account in Xero. This would be useful for custom bank accounts or banks that do not have a direct feed into Xero
2,091 votesWe continue to see great success with our new Bank Feeds API with a pipeline over over 30 Financial Institutes currently integrating and positive feedback from customers using these bank feeds.
We’ve completed our roadmap for the next financial year and have decided to not implement a public version at this time in order to maximise opportunities in other areas of our bank feeds product, in particular PSD2 and Open Banking.
This feature request is still on our backlog and we will be keeping an eye on this forum to understand the use case for a public bank statements API going forward.
If you are a customer of a financial institute not integrated with Xero and could benefit from having statement data in Xero, encourage them to make use of our API, they can contact us here https://www.xero.com/nz/partner-programs/financialweb/contact/

Repeating invoices via the API
Be able to create and manage repeating invoices (http://help.xero.com/#Accounts_RepeatingInvoice) via the API.
1,032 votesHi everyone,
Apologies but we’ve had to delay the work planned for creating repeating invoices.
We’re investing a bit more time into OAuth 2.0, including the SDKs etc. to make sure everyone has a smooth migration.
It’s still high on our priorities but we don’t have an ETA to share at the moment.
Cheers,

Allow reverting allocations for Credit Notes and Overpayments via API
This functionality is missing from API and available only via front end. We have almost finished implementation of Store Credits via Credit Notes and Overpayments, but luck of this functionality makes entire sync process very cumbersome.

when contacts are merged show this status for the API
When merging contacts the system seems to treat them as a delete so we can’t differentiate them from a full delete. Ideally they should show a status of merged and the ID of the contact they were merged with that way we could perform the same action in the CRM of merging the contacts history rather than deleting them.
310 votesHello all,
Unfortunately this is not planned for the current quarter, so will not be completed this year.
We are currently focusing on OAuth2.0 and ensuring a smooth migration for the whole community.
We will update this when it’s back on the roadmap.
Cheers, Adam

Should be able to retrieve and set Inventory Item status.
Should be able to retrieve and set Inventory Item status, i.e. whether Active/Archived or deleted
216 votesHi everyone,
Thanks for voting and commenting. While it is a relatively small change it is one of many many small changes vying for top priority.
This year we’ve been pretty focused on some big changes like OAuth2.0 and OpenID Connect but we’re still chipping away at small requests when we can.
Still no expected timeframe for this but it’s in the mix.
Cheers,

Customer Credit Limits available via API
Xero has finally released a "Credit Limit" facility for Customer accounts. Please can you make this available through the API?.

Enter budgets via the API. Both historical and current.
This would allow us to build tools to do bulk budget exports for multiple periods from our current system. (I think that budgets import might be coming through the user interface anyway, in which case this isn't really needed).

Approved Invoices:: Should have the facility to "Revert it back to draft"
Once an invoice is approved, it should have the facility to "revert it back to draft"
It is because of the reason that mostly, my client ask me to approve the invoice and then says that it's not yet approved and then i don't have the facility, ultimately it is showing in our accounts that an overdue invoice is available, which is actually not yet approved.
Xero should facilitate us in such a way.
Thanks

Retained Earnings / unrealised FX (system account) journals
Xero has 'system' accounts where journals are not posted, but values are calculated by reports. Therefore when pulling the journals from Xero, we can not accruately recreate the balance sheet and P&L (as vital journals are missing). Therefore in this respect the Xero API is incomplete.
Specific examples of the Journals API misses:
- Retained Earnings journals (this is instead calculated by a report)
- Unrealised FX journals (again calculated and shown only in the report)
- May also be the case for other system accounts.
The calculations made by the reports could be made available via the API to provide a complete…
