Provide some sort of Metadata / Documention / Help api call like $metadata for OData
We're looking to add Xero into our synchronisation tool, that would allow us to have two way syncing to other systems, such as SharePoint, MS CRM. It would be really useful if we could get a list of rest entities and there schema dynamically so the sync tool would not need to be updated.
2 votesUnfortunately this does not align with our strategy of focusing on our API development and supporting it via SDKs rather than discovery tools.
There are however a set of XSD schemas available: https://github.com/XeroAPI/XeroAPI-Schemas

Specify which account to import FreshBooks entries into
The API sync with FreshBooks currently dumps my FreshBooks transactions into my checking account ledger irrespective of where those funds were actually deposited. This is a serious limitation that needs to be fixed promptly. Most businesses--even small ones--have more than one account. For interest maximization, all deposits at our firm, for example, go into a money market. As cash is needed in checking to cover outgoing money, it's transferred.

Allow ID to be specified for new records
This assists when syncing data from external systems or allowing data. For example if I were to sync my CRM's SystemUsers into Xero it would be very useful to share the same GUID on each side.
1 voteIt would not be possible to allow an external system to set a GUID within Xero, but there are options:
For contacts, you can specify a Contact number: http://blog.xero.com/developer/api/contacts/
And for Invoices, you can specify an Invoice number.
For both of these, you can then retrieve that entity from Xero without knowing the internal Xero GUID.

We make extensive use of the ContactNumber field for invoicing.
Can Invoice listing show ContactNumber field next to contact name for each invoice to help with updating/locating drafts?

be an aggregator for bank transactions in New Zealand
This is a challenge for SaaS financial apps in New Zealand, both for small business and personal finance. Since Xero already integrates with banks, it would be great to be able to procure transactions through you via a standardised API :-)

calculate exchange rate automatically for foreign payments
Currently when entering a payment for an invoice in a foreign currency I need to enter the exchange rate. Generally I have to final AUD value and the final USD value, so would prefer the fx rate is calculated automatically.
In addition, it seems the fx rate has limited precision; I end up needing to put in manual adjustments when reconciling which is also a pain.

put print/email and other options buttons on the bottom of lists as well - convenience
If you go into invoices and tick a bunch to print, you have to scroll back to the top again to hit print. If you are doing individual invoices, this can be annoying and time could be saved simply if the buttons were on the bottom as well.
1 voteThanks for your suggestion. This forum is for use for our developer API – any product requests such as this can be sent direct to customer care who track support and raise them with our product team.

Cash Sale e-commerce
Where is the API for a cash sale? ie. a paid up in full sale made online e-commerce in realtime, do you have to raise an invoice against a customer called Cash Sale? NZ delivery addresses have GST inclusive, and Offshore addresses are GST zero rate. will the api look at the country field and do this for you?

Remove populated FullyPaidOnDate after payment is reversed
If a payment is applied to an invoice the FullyPaidOnDate is populated correctly and appears through the API.
However, when a payment is reversed on a previously fully paid invoice, the FullyPaidOnDate will not be removed from the XML result through the API, regardless of the fact that the invoice is not fully paid.

Thanks for the suggestion!
Unfortunately we have no current plans to provide a “Surrender to MYOB” API function! -
Enable edit Tax code or transaction amount
Changing posted account is good, but to change date, Tax Code or amount required delete transaction and re-enter it.
1 voteAssuming this refers to Invoices, we have no plans to change what you can edit on approved invoices with payments applied as this forms part of the main application audit trail.

Provide api functions to generate reports.
I find the reports available in xero very minimal, especially compared to those my accountant are used to from Simply Accounting. Consequently, I wish there were an API I could use to generate my own reports rather than hope that the xero team will implement the exact report that my accountant is requesting.
13 votesSince this request has been opened a lot of extra functionality has been provided, including reports by tracking for P&L and balance sheet: http://developer.xero.com/documentation/api/reports/
There are still a number of features we could improve on, and a number of these exist as distinct feature requests in this forum. We suggest adding your votes to those requests so we can close out this generic feature request which is difficult to define/act on.

Credit Card payment API
Store encrypted credit cards for customers and be able to initiate (through the invoice API) credit card payment via any credit card processor's API. Paypal Web Payments Pro would be good out of the box but ideally would be set up to work with most standard APIs.
50 votesI think it is a good idea to close this suggestion out as it is not a direction we wish to take for now. Over the next 2 quarters we will be looking to deliver improvements within the application in terms of development of online invoicing and supporting more payment processors, but a credit card payment API is not something we will be looking to do within a 0-3 year timeframe, so declining this suggestion.

email to invoice gateway
not sure if it is possible, but what about an email to invoice gateway.
have an email address invoices@xero.com
i can email any invoices i get to that address and it automatically populates a draft invoice in xero, based on the from address of the senderobviously you would need to have a bit of security, like a cryptic email address to send the invoices too, and it would be difficult to parse all invoices formats, but not impossible.
even if it pulled out the generic details of each invoice, eg invoice no, from, date, total, it would save a…
