  1. It is really great to be able to see outstanding Sales invoices and draft invoices. Would be fantastic if i could also see on the dashboard Bill amounts owing and outstanding.

  2. Currently the field 'BrandingTheme' is only returned on a GET request. We would like to have this field customizable, so we can change the theme used based on info in our CRM

  3. When I send invoices to customers I have to attach the correlating support data to the invoice. At the moment I can attach the support data but I can't email it out from Xero. I therefore have to download each invoice and then manually generate an email from my email system for each customer in order to attach the data and invoice in a single email... a laborious process at the start of each month!

    Life would be so much better if I could email attachments along with the invoice directly from Xero. This functionality is literally the only thing…

  4. I believe it is possible to export a batch payment file for subsequent import into your internet banking solution. It would create efficiencies to build outward direct bank feeds to set up payments on Bills. Then make it available via the API to set due/ payment dates and create payment batches.

  5. When trying to complete a credit note you cant amend the amount on a invoice that has already received a payment this is frustrating as we run promotions all the time and it is annoying to have to either delete the invoice and reenter it or delete the payment and re enter it, this is more work load and it would be more benifical to be able to enter the amount that you are wanting to enter rather then it automatically deleting the amount outstanding on the invoice, will they be able to make this more user friendly by entering…

  6. It would be great if there was an internal payment gateway system built into Xero which would allow us to store customer credit card information against their card file data masked so that it couldn't be re-read after being entered, and then trigger a payment against that card either from an invoice against that card or through the API. We do not want to have to store credit card details on our system nor are we keen to use an external credit card gateway which would still need us to store those details in the database somewhere. Storing the details…

  7. When selecting transactions to match bulk bank payments the columns allow for only individual sorting. It would be nice to be able to sort by customer and date rather than just either. I suppose you could apply nested sorting to all column selecting areas of Xero.

  9. Currently, there is a feature to add a client code for businesses who handle multiple clients. However this code can only be entered after the client is setup as a separate step. It would be quicker to optionally add the client code as part of the setup process.

  12. 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.

  14. Good Day All,

       Upon importing the default field "Email Address" or [EmailAddress] this field can only accept one and only one email address.  
       After the invoice has gone thru approval you have a To field when you select the 'Email' Buttion.  The sub field to this one is [ContactEmail] but when i added that to my CSV to be imported it was Ignored.  
    

    Please Add [ContactEmail] to the import so after it is approved the billing manager doesn't need to add a "; [extra email address]" to every statement that it is needed for notification.

    Secondly, Xero has a field…

  15. I have found an awesome tool by Quick Win Development (http://www.quickwindevelopment.com/) that allows us to extract data via the API straight into Excel.

    Because 80% plus of the reports I ever generate in Xero are exported directly to Excel, please can Xero build into the API the ability to replicate every report currently supplied by Xero, as a bare minimum seeing as though the Reports are diabolical compared to other accounting systems. Particularly for me the P&L by month for a start/end date period.

    Thanks
    Murray

  16. Sagepay is one of the most popular payment gateways used in the UK, it would be a huge benefit to add sagepay as an invoice payment method option in xero.

  18. I am able to create employee with first name and last name. I want to update the records with detailed information. But 2.0 version does not have that capability while 1.0 has it. ( http://developer.xero.com/documentation/payroll-api/employees/) .

    can we get it in 2.0 version as well ?

    The Core accounting API employees endpoint (http://developer.xero.com/documentation/api/employees/) is very different and much more limited in function. It is related to the pay run function in Xero which is quite basic and there are no plans to make any changes to this.

    The Payroll API employee endpoint (http://developer.xero.com/documentation/payroll-api/employees/) is more extensive as it is an API to the Xero payroll application (currently only available in Australia).

    If you have more questions about using our APIs, they are best asked in our developer forum https://community.xero.com/developer/

  20. The bank statement report API works great. For each bank line it has the date, amount, particulars, code and reference fields, however the "Analysis Code" field is not available, although it is available via the normal Xero interface on the Bank Statement view. Sometimes this field contains important transaction identifying information. Please make this available via the Report API.
