Be able to Allocate CreditNotes while creation
Right now, the only way to allocate a CreditNote to an Invoice is via a single API call to <url>/CreditNoteID/Allocations
This severely limits the capability to have multiple allocations (exclusive) done at the same time. It would be wonderful to allocate CreditNotes to Invoices while their creation.

Processing credit notes one by one before allocating invoices can be extremely inefficient for high‑volume workflows. By allowing a https://abbeville-court.recordss.org/ style bulk allocation endpoint, developers could submit all relevant invoice IDs in a single request, removing the need for repetitive calls and reducing latency. This enhancement would streamline error handling, improve transactional integrity, and make the Xero API feel more like a true end‑to‑end financial service.

Agreed. We're having to do a very roundabout way of creating all credit notes in bulk, then looping over the successful results and making allocations one by one. It would be far better to have a means to provide an "Allocations" array in the credit note creation API that contains invoice ids to assign the credit note to.
