  1. 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…

  2. Looking to export User Login History - either from a practice point or from the Xero Organisation point - you can find this information in Settings > Users > Login History, but I can't find a way to export via API.

  3. With the Payrolls functionality being deprecated, the Pay Run https://developer.xero.com/documentation/payroll-api-us/pay-runs API will also be deprecated. By our understanding, this functionality, will still be available via the web UI ("Business > Pay Run"). Maintaining this subset of functionality after the overall Payroll deprecation would be useful for tools such as importers of 3rd Party payroll details.

  4. We use Xero as our main accounting system. Every month we have to produce a number of reports for the regulator. In order to do this, we need access to the account balances, debits and credits as they need to be aggregated and for various calculations such as yield and cost of funds. None of the API's provide this information and we have resort manually download various reports in excel format and then use these as input to our process.

    Adding the debits and credits to the Accounts API would be perfect and allow us to automate our processes.

  5. Thanks for the current batch payment API. it works with InvoiceID.

    Can you please update this API by allowing to use the InvoiceNumber instead of InvoiceID.

    The InvoiceNumber is much more user-friendly and actually used by accountants instead of the long ID, that needs an extra lookup.

    Can you please let us know when can you update it?

    For example:
    <Payments>
    <Payment>
    <Invoice>

    <InvoiceNumber>ORC1039</InvoiceNumber>
    </Invoice>
    <Reference>ggg</Reference>
    <Amount>10.00</Amount>
    </Payment>

  7. I would like the Budget Variance Report to be available via the API:
    https://central.xero.com/s/article/Budget-Variance-report

    It is not listed in the reports available from the API

  8. Add "PercentCompleted", "TotalEstimate" and "InvoicedPreviously" in Fields you can insert into a custom template so that invoices generated from Projects so the customer can see how far they are along the job and each task is toward completion.

  9. Can you please add a feature similar to Sage that copies the cell data above when pressing F6. Great for entering sales and purchase invoices rather than having to select from drop-down lists etc - would save so much time. ie, descriptions and our specific analysis cells.

  10. Please allow me to list, get, post, and delete bank rules in the API. We manage several Organizations and we're copying around these rules by hand right now. It's annoying, expensive, and prone to mistakes. I'd LOVE to just write a script to do it.

  11. With Microservices now being all the rage, applications consuming Xero APIs need to be able to deal with their availability/non-availability. A "health-check" similar to the Java Microprofile Health service (see https://github.com/eclipse/microprofile-health) would support to enabling/disablng functionality related to Xero APIs based on the result these "health-checks". As a result user interfaces could enable or suppress functionality that requires the use of Xero APIs depending on these health-checks.

  12. We receive payments from online services (stripe and paypal) and programmatically add an invoice as well as a payment for the invoice and the fee from the charge.

    When the bank charge comes from the bank we go in and manually match them with the payments. With PayPal this is easy because they come in and match 1:1 with the payments and fees. With stripe it's not so easy becaue our daily payout contains dozens of fees and charges.

    We would like to programmatically match these. Note that this is NOT the same as reconciling a bank statement, I think…

  13. Currently, it is not possible to get the list of invoices / bills lines attached to a project. Neither via a report nor via API.

    It's only possible to get the list of invoices for a particular project in the GUI and we are not even able to get an extract of that info.

    We are using other operational systems and need to use this info. Plus, we would like to point out all invoices where there is no project attached and this is currently impossible.

    That would be awesome if we could extract this via API.

    Thank you

  14. When you associate a line item with a task, it is then an expense on that task. It would be useful to be able to query the task to retrieve information about the expenses.
    You will then be able to get an end to end of bill coming in to invoice going out charging for that bill.

  16. There is a setting to set the reply email address, however sending an invoice via the api currently doesn't respect this setting, the emailed invoice will still have the user's email address even though the email settings specify a different email address

  17. Each business is different and requires different information and fields. = it would be great to be able to customise or add fields.

    currently you can from the purchases to assign expense to customer - Give a Reverse for this option and put this to a sale screen and assign expenses - This would help eliminate double entry as we enter sales before purchases.

    Let us customize to suit our businesses!!

  19. Add "Assign purchases" field to the bottom of sales /invoicing screen - this option is available in purchases but not sales.
    We assign expenses to customers while invoicing - If we have multiple trades it would make life easier if at the bottom of the sales invoice scsreen i could assign billable expenses here.

  20. I have spent the past couple of weeks building a pretty hefty integration for a client to integrate their Salesforce platform with Xero.

    I have now hit an issue as the client wants to specify a String field to be pushed as the reference... This was not an issue with the Invoices as we used the URL field to define what Salesforce record needs to be updated form the API response.

    This would be a very good thing for developers to have a specific "External Id" field so clients can do what they like and we have one for ourselves!
