  1. PDF Invoices that are attached in Xero have a URL that 3rd party apps can link to

    e.g a purchase invoice has an attachment which is thescanned copy of the invoice, we would like a url so we can link the pdf to a web app

  2. Make it so repeating invoices can be put on hold - I don't like having to delete them and recreate them later when we put a service on hold. It leaves the door open for mistakes.

    Cheers

  3. In my previous software (WHMCS) there was a "Instant Search" fuction which you could type a Invoice Number, Quote Number, Credit Note, or even client name and it would bring up there details instantly if you press enter, or you could see a list of matching results (Like google instant search) and the click the one you want.
    I Think this would be the icing on the cake for me, I LOVE Xero so much, this is the only function it is currently missing.

  4. Enable the ability to split payments on a bank rec coming through the API so we can reconcile merchant payments from two separate machines on 1 day. 1 invoice, 2 payments currently unable to split.

  5. When you specify a tax override for individual inventory items, they are not applied when creating the invoice via the API (it still uses the accounts tax settings). They are only applied when creating the invoice manually.

  6. Hi I am setting up a new business and I wanted to ask on here the best way to setup the platform from the ground up for a single company wide visible business starting from the Xero base. Can I add salesforce CRM, Google documents etc. There are obviously really expensive ERP that do this but I am wondering if there is a way of doing this with cloud

  7. Everything visible in the web interface should be exposed via the API. In fact ideally the web interface itself would be a client of the API, which would ensure that all useful technology is exposed.

    We’re closing this request out and asking that developers suggest or vote for the specific features you’re after as it’s easier to get feedback to you on each request this way and also free up your votes. I’d like to reassure you we’re committed to offering the best API we can.

  8. Add an additional tracking code. Currently there are only 2 and adding a 3rd would be a great benefit.

  13. I have lost of customers who make payments "on account" against one or more invoices. If these payments come into a bank account regularly and use the same reference (e'g a customer account number), a bank rule which sets the customer and allocates the whole payment to only that customer's invoices (e.g. against oldest invoice first, splitting if required) would speed things up no end. Much faster than me going through Find & Match every time.

    It is certainly a nice idea in a lot of ways, and Jesse’s use case example is good one.

    On the other side, allowing 3rd party applications plug into the core Xero application present some quite major security implications. The data we hold on behalf of our customers is considered highly sensitive by us and we ensure we have bank level security across all aspects of our application.

    Second to that, we are a design lead and focused company – we want our software to be really easy to use and remain simple and intuitive, so allowing 3rd parties to introduce interface elements into Xero would be something we would need to carefully plan for.

    With this in mind, it would be quite an onerous task for us to implement a secure framework that would allow 3rd party applications to interface within Xero, in a sensible way that does not…

  16. When moving funds between bank accounts you have to use the transfer feature but you are only allowed to enter the Date and From and To Accounts. I would nice to have an ability to add a description or a reference if you are trying to record additional data. This would be particularly useful when you are setting up a control account and you want to reconcile it - You don't intend to import a feed here you just want to manually reconcile the account. (so you need the bank function) but you will be mainly transferring money in and…

  20. I would like to have the ability to use the API to enter multiple transactions with the ability to commit or rollback, as appropriate - like you do with a database.
