Budget summary report by budget
The current budget summary API report (http://blog.xero.com/developer/api/reports/#BudgetSummary) returns the overall budget summary report. Within Xero, you can create additional budgets which can be filtered by tracking category. This request is to:
- Provide a Budgets API endpoint
- Allow the budget summary report be filtered by budget

Hi all,
The GET budgets endpoint is now live, but is available exclusively to App Partners who have migrated to OAuth 2.0 and entered into the new App Partner Program https://devblog.xero.com/getting-ready-for-xeros-refreshed-app-partner-program-6e09fa36fce8
The retrieve budgets functionality will be generally available to all integrations on OAuth 2.0 from April 2021.
Note: the new App Partner Program is currently under invite-only Beta with full launch expected to be late 2020.
Checkout the documentation here https://developer.xero.com/documentation/api/budgets
Thanks

This would be most appreciated, unable to complete our franchise reporting function without filtering budget summary report by tracking category. Another 3 big votes here.

My client definitely needs this functionality.
Big up vote from me.

Agree that this is something that we're really looking forward. Our clients get a huge amount of tracking but it all falls over when we bring it through to Spotlight Reporting because we then can't go against budget. This makes it difficult to work with them on a management level, as we spend a bunch of time wrestling with data in Excel when it should be simple. Three votes from me!

Allowing the budget summary report to be filtered by budget would be really useful.

I agree: this would be really useful. Some of my clients have various different targets (e.g. Target to aim for/ Worst case target). It would be great if Xero could complete the above changes

Tracking Budget figures would be a good addition for spotlight reporting - add my name to the requestees

Having the ability to load and report against a budget by tracking category combination would be very helpful - currently the named budget approach means there is a big risk of selecting the "wrong" named budget and maintaining them would be a minefield - if the budgets could be entered with tracking 1 and tracking 2 and when a compare to budget report was selected by tracking category the variance reports produced would be very useful.
