Be able to extract via API bank balances in Base Currency or in Foreign Currency of Bank Account
Currently API can only get bank balances in Base Currency from Reports -> Bank Summary. This means it is all converted into the Base currency by XE.COM. There is no way to convert this back into the original currency, XE.COM rates are not available vis the API. There should be a way of getting the bank balance in the origin al currency.

Be able to have number of days billable in the invoice recievable template
I run a equipment hire company and use xero to itemise and invoice the equipment hired out. The quantity field works well but i supply equipment over a number of days at a day rate. It would really help to be able to specify how many days any quantity of equipment was hired out for. In theory its just another quantity field called DAYS. Please Please Please. :)

Be Able To Get Customer Credit Rating Through The API
Given that credit ratings can now be shown for customers in the main application I would like to suggest that the credit rating, even as a number or as a descriptor (matching the rating gauge in the main interface, be made available through the API in the contact payload data so that when viewing customer data through the API the credit rating can be seen as well.

Custom IDs
Add a custom ID for all Objects on Xero.
We're building a system to manage and sync data across multiple platforms, and we're having many issues keep data in sync with bulk inserts and writing back to our own IDs. For example when bulk inserting payments we cannot match them to the payments on the system as there is no unique number we can pass through and no other field is reliable. Due to the API rate limits we're forced to use Bulk inserts so we cannot update on an individual basis.

Be able to opt-out of invoice contact summaries
For example, creating invoice payments return invoice contact summaries in responses.
If contact details are required on the client side the result is a subsequent API call to retrieve them.
In this case the overhead of the subsequent call is greater than the cost of returning the information in the invoice payment response. This issue is compounded due to Xero API's rate limiting on requests.
An optional parameter 'enableSummaries=false' would be nice.
I understand that for cases like retrieving multiple invoices that summaries are useful but for single result responses, such as invoice payments the current functionality seems inconsistent. The…

Allow employees to enter start and finish times into timesheets
In our industry there are penalty rates before/after certain times and days, and employees shouldnt be responsible for working out which pay item they are to be paid.
We also have a lot of junior staff who would have no clue and they just need to enter their start time, break time and finish time and then allow the payroll officer to convert this into which rates apply.
Add-ons are way too expensive on top of the cost of Xero, especially when you have more than 10 employees.
This would also save a lot of double entering (timebooks,…

Allow updating of PlannedPaymentDate via API
Currently you cannot update an Invoices DueDate or PlannedPaymentDate via the API if there are payments or credit notes allocated to it. This is problematic especially for invoices (such as business rates) that get paid in (monthly) installments.
If the DueDate or PlannedPaymentDate has passed then these invoices do not show up in the Short-term CashFlow view.
I can update the Planned Payment Date through the UI (and I can update the DueDate through the UI as well) regardless of if the invoice has a credit or payment against it, so why doesn't the API provide the same validation…

Add If-Modified-Since optional parameter to Xero Projects APIs
We are trying to sync customer's Tasks across Xero Projects, currently we have to poll for all Tasks on each Project. Some customers are using 200+ 'active' (state= INPROGRESS) projects, however they are only adding 5-10 Tasks a day spread across these projects.
If we were able to query the /projects endpoint with a 'If-Modified-Since' parameter (or header) and the result only contained projects either updated direct or those that had associated Tasks added/edited, then we would only need to call /projects/:id/tasks for those ProjectId's, likewise if this endpoint also could be queried with
If-Modified-Sincethen only those new Tasks…1 vote -
Unable to use the additional tax rates with the api
When new tax rates is added to xero they are not exposed via the api. Only the standard codes can be used. Some clients add special rates or compound tax rates and they cannot be used
0 votesHey Henzard,
I’m not sure what you meant here. All tax rates are exposed via the API and can be used on transactions.
If there’s a particular bug you’ve found please let us know at api@xero.com
Thanks,
Adam
