Repeating invoices via the API
Be able to create and manage repeating invoices (http://help.xero.com/#Accounts_RepeatingInvoice) via the API.

Hi all, I’m pleased to announce this functionality is now available - see the developer documentation here. You’re a patient bunch, and we thank you for bearing with us! - Lance

Please provide some communication on this, it's really not hard to do. Even something simple like is it "hopefully" 1 month away, 6 months away, 10 years away?

Its now March 2021 and I cannot believe this isn't possible yet! We can see the majority of the code has been added to the API, but it's still not available. An update on this would be great as we have a big client project that requires this functionality. + 3 votes

such a sorely missed feature

Any update for this issue? Adding in these manual steps is a real killer for our business process, and frankly it is unreal that this is not supported. ITS 2021!

Sadly, this appears to be yet another instance (like Quotes) where customers are strung along with false expectation setting for almost a decade - in this case since 2011. Now, it's been over 4 months since your last update, and OAuth 2.0 SDK development appears to be pretty much wrapped up, so I'm not clear on what the delay continues to be. I wish you would just increase our prices by 20%, hire a few more people, and actually start delivering some of this long-awaited functionality.

This would be amazing!
An ETA on this would be really helpful too. Currently is there any way to generate a payment plan programatically without having to manually do it in Xero?

This sounds fantastic, very much looking forward to it being available. Any updates on timeframes? Thanks.

As part of this project, can the repeating invoice ID field please be exposed on the invoices API endpoint? This will help us be able to see which historical invoices are tied to each repeating invoice too, which will be extremely useful for a wide range of reporting.

Excellent news. While you are working on this, can we also have repeating invoices that use the current value of an inventory item rather than the value it had at the time of creation. As a frequent user of repeating invoices, I have 1000s of recurring annual quarterly and monthly subscriptions. I don't want to edit each repeating invoice each time the subscriptions change - the effort makes them next to useless. So there should be a placeholder function which uses the current value from my inventory.
See https://community.xero.com/business/discussion/61151#answer110760107
BTW, congrats to the Xero API team on two counts
- you listen to to the community
- you put dates on forum threadsOn the other hand Xero Business Community is where feature request go to die.
