  2. Add more precision for Items endpoint

    When getting an item from the /Items endpoint, even with unitdp set to 4, the TotalCostPool only provides 2 decimals of precision. Unfortunately I have plenty of items in my tracked inventory that have 4 decimal places of precision. This prevents me from getting the accurate average cost data.

  3. Create an API for the Expenses by supplier report

    We would like xero to build an API to extract the report called "Expenses by supplier". Currently to extract spend by supplier we have to extract all payments and bills and build this back up ourselves.

  4. IncludeOnline for files API

    Currently there is no option to include the files to be sent in email to customer with object e.g. Invoice.

    Attachments API has an option includeonline to specify if we want to send the attachments in the email to the customer.

    Also there is an issue to include multiple files via the attachments API. I have added 2 files via the attachments API to invoice only one of them is showing as included online but other file need to be manually included via Xero GUI

  5. unassign customer purchase while on an invoice

    I assign a purchase to a customer. I then go to invoices and add that purchase. at the end of the month my boss goes through the draft invoices and deletes some assigned purchases off the invoices. The deleted purchase stay under that customer which becomes annoying. right now I have to go to the purchase, edit it and unassign it. seems like a long process.
    from the dropbox above the description box in the invoice I would like to be able to have a choice to unassign customer, so that purchase no longer shows.

  6. User Login History

    Looking to export User Login History - either from a practice point or from the Xero Organisation point - you can find this information in Settings > Users > Login History, but I can't find a way to export via API.

  7. CreditNotes: Add GET filter by CreditNoteNumbers Similar to Invoices functionality

    Invoices has a filter of InvoiceNumbers. But this functionality is missing from Credit Notes even though Credit Notes are basically a negitive invoice. We need to be able to query for the status and existence of Credit Notes but keep hitting our API rate limit. We are using an WHERE OR statement but it's slow and we cannot check more than a few credit notes at a time.

  10. Add Is-Modified-Since optional parameter to GET LinkedTransactions

    I'm looking to filter the Linked Transactions returned by the GET. It looks like this was planned feature in the September 11, 2015 release notes and many other end points support Is-Modified-Since.

  11. Manual Journal Webhooks

    Hi,
    I was wondering if there was any plans to implement webhooks for Journals?

    Would be a great implementation for building block to Xero and working with the system.

  14. Provide API for retrieving Uncoded Statement Lines

    Bank Reconciliation is necessarility a collaborative effort when multiple people have company cards and not everyone is great at uploading their statements.

    We have been using a Python mechanize script to scrape xero and download uncoded statement lines, recognise transactions by the last 4 digits of the card numbers, and post that to slack to nag the respective company card holders, and that's been working ok for the past year...

    We know how difficult it can be to change your minds on the necessity of API endpoints like bank statement line import and reconciliation via the API, or adding improvements…

  15. Allow API Access to run the Bank Reconciliation Report

    In lieu of being able to interact with the Bank Feed information directly via the API - it would be useful to be able to run the Bank Reconciliation Report directly from the API.

    The use case in mind is:

    I would like to set up a proactive notification when there are incoming amounts that are not reconciled in Xero in order to prompt someone to go in to Xero and manually reconcile those items. This will help prevent our customers from getting automated invoice reminders when they've paid.

    We're not at the point yet where someone is in Xero…

  17. enable creation of invoices from accepted quotes via API

    Once a quote has been ACCEPTED it would be very useful to then turn this into an Invoice via the API, as per the manual user task of pressing the "Create Invoice" in the Xero web portal.

  19. include cost of sales on invoices

    A customer of ours need to pull Invoices via the Xero API and are particularly interested in the COGS value of sales in order to calculate a Gross Profit value.

    Unfortunately, that value does not appear in the Invoices endpoint.

    I ran some tests where i posted a sale, then posted a purchase with items with a higher purchase price, then edit the sale and increase the quantity.

    I then checked journals and i could see a reversal jounral for the COGS that used the old COGS value, and a reposting using the new COGS value.

    This implies the data…

  20. Show TrackingOptionID in LineItem in Invoices API (and other endpoints)

    The Invoices endpoint in particular (and many others in general), do not include the TrackingOptionID in the data set. Instead, they generally provide only the Name, Option and TrackingCategoryID.

    It is really important for being able to use "joins" on the data to incl;ude the TrackingOptionID .
