Validate only option for POST and PUT
Currently when you POST or PUT, Xero will either accept or reject each of the entries. Provide an option to POST or PUT data (Invoices) and have the results returned WITHOUT actually updating any data. That would allow an All or Nothing approach to batch data submission.

Return RepeatingInvoiceID with Invoice GET
The Xero website notifies you when you are viewing an Invoice that was created by a RepeatingInvoice. There doesn't appear to be a way to get that information from the API.

Allow setting Expected Payment Date on modified invoices
The only way of modifying the Expected Payment Date via the API right now is to remove every payment first, then update the date and reapply the payments. We have customers paying via installments (of up to 30 payments) and it would seem a lot more logical to allow changing the Expected Payment Date.
The reason why the Expected Payment Date is important to us is that we use it for cashflow forecasting.

Sagepay is one of the most popular payment gateways used in the UK, it would be a huge benefit to add sagepay as an invoice payment method option in xero.

Add label to the Url feature of Invoice and Bill
Please add a label option so it does not show the label of the api. We use this to link invoices to bills and bills to invoices as they are related for our business.

include cost of sales on invoices
A customer of ours need to pull Invoices via the Xero API and are particularly interested in the COGS value of sales in order to calculate a Gross Profit value.
Unfortunately, that value does not appear in the Invoices endpoint.
I ran some tests where i posted a sale, then posted a purchase with items with a higher purchase price, then edit the sale and increase the quantity.
I then checked journals and i could see a reversal jounral for the COGS that used the old COGS value, and a reposting using the new COGS value.
This implies the data…

unassign customer purchase while on an invoice
I assign a purchase to a customer. I then go to invoices and add that purchase. at the end of the month my boss goes through the draft invoices and deletes some assigned purchases off the invoices. The deleted purchase stay under that customer which becomes annoying. right now I have to go to the purchase, edit it and unassign it. seems like a long process.
from the dropbox above the description box in the invoice I would like to be able to have a choice to unassign customer, so that purchase no longer shows.4 votes -
Send invoices to other accounting systems via their APIs
You can already do a Xero to Xero invoice. I would like to link in to other on-line invoice aggregator services via their API and send an invoice to them electronically. I have a couple of multi national clients who refuse to accept invoices that are emailed with PDF attachments. They want me to use their invoice aggregator which either costs me money (if I integrate using their API) or time if I log on to their portal and manually enter each invoice (yeah right!).

Auto invoice number and references
If you leave the reference field blank on an ACCPAY invoice then the invoice number is automatically generated using the defaults INV-00381 etc. But if you give a reference 'August 2020 travel charges' and leave the invoice number blank then the API copies the reference and makes the invoice number 'August 2020 travel charges'. I want auto-generated invoice numbers but to be able to give an independent reference.

To generate OnlineInvoiceUrl while creating Invoices in single API call
Need to have a way to generate OnlineInvoiceUrl while creating Invoices in single API call so no need to do api calls twice to get the onlineInvoiceUrl using GET https://api.xero.com/api.xro/2.0/Invoices/9b9ba9e5-e907-4b4e-8210-54d82b0aa479/OnlineInvoice

Get list of attachment details by array of invoice IDs
Currently to get an invoice attachment you need to make a call to the attachment endpiont for a specific entity id, then you need to make a call to the download end point for each found attachment.
We need an efficient way to be notified of weather there is an attachment or not, othewise we will quickly hit our api quote just looking up attachments on invoices.
Would be great if we could request all attachment details objects for an array of invoices to reduce the number of calls we need to make in order to find attachment details for…

Have addresses from the Fishbowl API be sent to the individual invoice rather than overriding the address in the contact screen
Allow Xero to receive billing and shipping addresses directly as the billing and delivery address for an individual invoice rather then it being sent to the overall contact screen. This would allow for invoices to have different addresses on them for the same client depending on the order. If this worked correctly, we could then have that address tied to and saved to an individual invoice. Currently, we have to manually change the address on every single invoice as our clients have orders shipped all across the country and the world.

Add Paging on Repeating Invoices Endpoint
Currently paging is not available on the repeating invoices API call. We have a client who has too many repeating invoices for Xero to return, and without paging there is nothing we can do to get the repeating invoices data out of Xero's API.

Provide LineItemId on Invoice PUT
Recently Xero started surfacing the LineItemId for Invoice line items. This is a great initiative. However, to take full advantage of the LineItemId GUID's, we need the ability to send our unique LineItemId's on a PUT.
Assuming that we could to specify our LineItemId (and that it would be contained in the Xero Response) we would then have the certainty required to associate the Xero LineItemId response with our LineItemId's.
This feature enhancement is critical as our invoices always have multiple LineItems, often with the same quantity and Amounts.
We need a way to ensure we are able to match…

Invoice Webhook - Send payload for custom connections
When the new authentication system goes live - the invoice webhook should send the invoice payload. This makes sense as the authentication system is 1:1, and it will reduce the amount of API calls.

Adding first attachment or removing last attachment to an invoice should trigger the invoice webhook
Currently if you add an attachment to the invoice where none existed before, the invoice webhook is not fired, even though invoice.hasAttachments is changed to be true.
Same for if you remove the last attachment on an invoice, this should trigger the invoice webhook as the hasAttachments is now false.
Currently to get an invoice attachment you need to make a call to the attachment endpiont for a specific entity id, then you need to make a call to the download end point for each found attachment.
We need an efficient way to be notified of weather there is an…
