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

Actually glad our project got delayed so we can take advantage of this 🤪 Thank you!

Fantastic, do you think you could add making the repeat/generation date and the invoice date separate fields at the same time? eg allow generating rent invoices in the last week of a month but with a future invoice date of say the first of the next month?

Any updates this is 7 years on now, last time I wrote a recurring invoice function that creates invoices every month. Surely by now Xero can add a POST recurring invoices endpoint .... ???

This feature would save so many companies so much time. What's the hold-up Xero, please let us know. We are looking to scale worldwide and without this feature is really going to add staff overhead. Can we pay to add this feature?

I really need this.
I came here from a related post created in 2013
https://community.xero.com/developer/discussion/3230654
it shouldnt take that long to implement such an important feature
it seems like people have been asking for 9 years! 9 years! -

Hi, this would be also very useful for one of our clients for whom we are working on automating business processes. The OAuth2.0 is now available, but it seems that 6 months after the update above, there is still only GET but not POST functionality available for repeating invoices? Kindly update the community if this is on the planning horizon so that we can communicate to our clients as to whether this is in the pipeline of development or not? (It would also be interesting to find out how Xero themselves manage to automatically create recurring subscription sales for their own accounting workflows, its unlikely that that's a manual process, so what work-around do you yourselves use to automatically create repeating invoices on your subscription sales?).

Please implement this, It would be very useful for us, it's a big gap in the API capabilities.

It's terrible that you have not implemented this yet. Just DO it, PLEASE! You have a huge user base now and there can't be any excuses for not implementing this really important functionality. Please just hire a team if you need to and get it made!

I have the requirement from a client too. What incentive is needed to get this sorted?

This is the in the top 3 requested features from the community and was raised over 7 years ago. There is no more room for excuses, this is simply not good enough.

Still no news on this? Two years looking at webhooks?

No update since September 2016 is very poor. What's going on?

Xero, what is going on?!? This is such an important feature.

The new year is now halfway over. Is there an update to this?

The response to my query about this was that I should develop my own recurring invoices function and post the invoices to Xero each time they are due. Of course I could do this - I could write a complete accounting system for me - but then I would be mad to - I pay a bit of money every month to use Xero. Why on earth would any sane person write a bespoke recurring invoices application when there are so many on the market already in existence. Please simply just create the API's so I can use the one I am already paying for.

May we have an update on this one please. I think Xero may be underestimating the importance of this feature

This feature would be extremely useful. Infact the API functionality is somewhat useless without it. I see this was flagged up nearly 7 years ago? What's going on Xero?!
