Import bank statement lines via the API
Be able to import bank statement lines into a bank account in Xero. This would be useful for custom bank accounts or banks that do not have a direct feed into Xero
1,005 votesThanks for your continued feedback and patience on this long-standing request. Our team has started to build this out, and we’re looking forward to sharing more as development and testing progresses.
This release will support ingestion of bank statement data via the Bank Feeds API for accounts where a bank feed has not been established and allow customers to automate the current manual file upload process.
As part of this work, we’ll be running a beta with a small group first (from mid June) so we can test the experience and gather feedback before broader availability. We’ll continue to post updates here as we reach key milestones.

Sort on report column headers
It would be very convenient if report column headers were sortable.
For example, when I run a "Sales by Item" report, I'd like to click on the "Total" column header to re-sort the report by Total, either ascending or descending.
If this sorting was available for all column headers, I could immediately find out:
- best and worst selling product by sales revenue
- best and worst selling product by units moved
- most expensive product
- least expensive product
- lowest and highest average selling price....all in seconds with just a few clicks on column headers, and without…

Make receipting quicker and easier
I am an owner/operator of my own business and even though I do have my bank account linked I generally use my personal credit card for everything so that I can leave my money in an offset account to minimilise interest. It means I do alot of receipting and find the process long and tedious as I have to go through approving / authorising etc just to do reciepts. If there was a quicker way of doing it would make life alot easier.

Allow split of single payment to multiple Invoices via API
For customers who's payment gateway settles the days total takings into your bank account in one lump sum at the end of the day, making single payment against single invoices via API is no good. It would be great to be able to recieve a payment to a bank account and split that payment to be applied against multiple invoices.
25 votesThere seem to be a few different requirements here, I want to see what we can do to help:
- We have prepared a guide on an easy way to handle payments where you have multiple invoices, but one lump some payment from a payment processor into your bank: http://blog.xero.com/developer/handling-payment-processor-receipts-in-xero/- Another solution would be for users of the API be able to create a bank feed themselves from a payment service. You can vote for this API feature request here: http://xero.uservoice.com/forums/5528-xero-api/suggestions/340274-import-bank-statement-lines-via-the-api
There are other questions that point more towards Xero feature requests rather than API functionality. I recommend you request these in our community forum: https://community.xero.com/business/topic/23/
I will close out this request and we can continue the conversation in the links above.

Create Bank Rule's for Bank Transfers
Add a 3rd option for Bank Rules.
Allow for transferring to a specified account.EG: I transfer money from my PayPal to my main account only.
OR
EG: I transfer money from my Skrill account to my main account only.And would like these to be reconciled even easer with automated bank rules.
30 votesIt sounds like this is a request for the core Xero product and not the API. As such I’m closing this particular request.
Please add your general Xero requests here: https://community.xero.com/business/discussion/104451
The good news is that bank rules for bank transfers is being worked on currently! Subscribe to that thread for updates.

Enable bulk editing of accounts and tracking data
Currently it is very tedious to manipulate data in the system. I've made some adjustments to the way accounts and tracking are handled, and I am faced with going through hundreds of invoices one by one to create reports that make sense. It would be awesome to be able to check multiple items and modify them in this way (although I can see a problem with multiple line items), or else have some tools to migrate invoice line-items assigned to a particular account or tracking category to another one.

Love the migration idea if you are switching accounts or tracking though, so be sure to add a suggestion!

Quick and Easy third party authentication
I think there should be a quick way for third party applications to authenticate into the XERO API.. Because as far as I know there currently isn't a quick way for the authentication of users keys and certificates authenticated in a couple of seconds rather than minutes without requesting a lot of information from the web services (give and take how many invoices or contact information has to be recieved).
1 voteHi Michael
It seems like you are basing this on your experience of using a private API application? We also have two other application types: partner API apps and public API apps that use the 3-legged OAuth process which to the end user is as simple as clicking a button in a 3rd-party app, logging into Xero and approving a connection between the other application and their Xero organisation. Overview here: http://blog.xero.com/developer/api-overview/
You can see this in action by using the API previewer – if already connected to an organisation, disconnect and go through the process of connecting again – that is the same workflow as public/partner API apps use.
Note this makes it easy for the end user, but there will always be work involved for the 3rd party applications themselves in terms of setup etc.
Hope that is what you are after!

Create invoices and credit notes via the api as Deleted or Voided
My client requires invoices and credits too be synchronised between our software and Xero.
This includes having invoices deleted and credits voided before they reach Xero.
I would like to create deleted invoices and voided credits first time rather then having to create drafts and then delete/void them in a seperate operation.
You shouldn't be able to do this via the Xero user interface but I should be able to do this via the API.
1 voteThe Xero API must follow the same application logic as the main application. It is for this reason we must decline this request, but we are committed to exposing more functionality via the API such as the ability to void invoices and credit notes via the API once they are created.

Add a "Hero" report module position to the Dashboard for beautiful graphical reports
Some UI improvements -
Add a Hero or Showcase module position to the Dashboard. Give users options to select from various graphic reports for things like profit and loss or daily sales.
Or perhaps you allow the user to select and compare activity in multiple accounts and choose the type of output graph.
You may even allow drag-and-drop positioning of multiple custom graphs or reports - on top of the listing of bank activity, accounts receivable, and accounts payable.
Regards,

Make the 3-legged authorization process compatible with WP7
I'd love to build an WP7 application for the Xero platform, however the step that involves navigating to the login page which is required to complete the OAuth process is blank on WP7 browsers.
11 votesThere are no plans to support WP specifically, but the API should be able to accommodate most use cases.

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. :)

open standards data & document formats
At the moment I can import & export financial data via an Open Standards CSV format (& well-documented API's), which is great for interoperability with other systems :)
Unfortunately this is not carried through universally, such as Custom Invoice Branding, which is reliant on ms docx formats.
This excludes a significant potion of my own customer-base (many SME's/SMB's reducing overheads) that are increasing not making use of manu ms-based technologies (i.e. office), and are increasingly moving toward more "cloud-based" solutions, such as Google Docs (sample docs are an absolute mess in GDocs) & Open/LibreOffice.Please add support for common, Open…

allow sales unit prices to be to 3 decimal places - to avoid rounding errors
when a supplier generated sales invoice is received it would be nice to be able to agree to their grant total
