    declined  ·  AdminXero Developer Platform (CEO / Founder, Xero Developer Centre) responded

    Hi everyone,

    Firstly, apologies – it’s obvious from the continuing comments that we declined this request too hastily and without the explanation it deserved.

    We know that reconciling would be a valuable API feature, but reconciling requires fine grained access to bank statement data and unfortunately we’re not able to share that data via the API for commercial reasons.

    At Xero we’re passionate about having an open API and providing small businesses with open access to their data. Unfortunately, many of the partners we rely on for statement data don’t share the same ideals.

    Hopefully change is coming in the form of open banking. However, it will be a long time before we can openly share statement data via the API and provide a decent reconciliation experience to third-party apps. For that reason we will unfortunately leave this request as ‘declined’.

    For the immediate future, we’re busy doing some really…

  2. Return bank transaction id in GET Payments

    Instead of just the Boolean "IsReconciled" with GET Payments, please include the bank transaction id that could be used to join the payment with a bank transaction from GET BankTransactions.

  3. to have a 'Bank' field made available in manual journal....!

    I am looking at entering transactions of 2013. (So i have no intention in creating invoices for the sales happened that time, rather just enter the sales amount)

    When there is a SALE in showroom through credit card, the money go to the credit card company and after deducting their charges they will credit our bank with the balance amount.
    For eg: if the sale is 1000, they will credit our bank with 977, meaning their charges is 23.
    The entry would be:
    Dr. Bank 977
    Dr. Credit Card company 23
    Cr. Sales 1000

    I would like to make this…
