Send <Payments> together with <Invoice>
We invoice just upon payment, so it would be nice to be able to send <Payments> together with <Invoice>, when creating it, so we don't need to do two separate calls for it.

Update Journal API to support filtering based on the Date field OR a general where clause
Currently, you can' t get Journals based on posting date (the Date field in Journal). It should be supported as it is more relevant than the if-modified-since filter. In general, the Journal API should support the where clause.

add line item ids to manual journal lines on GET and POST successful responses
this will make it possible to keep local data linked to manual journal lines up to date and in sync with changes made in xero

Multi-currency Bank Transfers
Currently, if I try and send a Bank Transfer through the APIs between 2 accounts with different currencies, I get an error response with the message:
"Multi currency Bank Transfers are not currently supported"
There is a field for the "CurrencyRate" in the documentation for GET, however, setting this for a PUT call, results in the same error message.
It's possible to do this through the UI as a user, it should also be possible to do this through the APIs.

Contact Bank Details (all fields) to be able to be updated via API
At the moment, contact bank details fields need to be updated through the front-end UI, only the BSB and Account number can be updated via API. Just wondering if Xero can add all fields to the Update contact details API function?
"BatchPayments": {
"BankAccountNumber": "0000007",
"BankAccountName": "XXXXX",
"Details": "SQUAD",
"Code": "",
"Reference": ""

integrate batch payment export into a banks payment system
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.

API report Sales by Item
Provide API to get report Sales By Item. because it will help to analyse sales by Item (Product). Now we can generate the report but I don't see API to get report data as other financial report.

Increase the limit of API calls
It would be great if the limit of API calls is increased. That way we can make more requests to Xero and not have the connection destabilise. This affects our customer experience as our customers ask us always

Expose reversal information in Journal endpoint
Problem: if a Journal is reversed, Journal.SourceId may point to an invoice whose LineItems do not correspond to JournalLines.
Proposed Solution: If a Journal is a reversal, expose the number of reversed journal via API, e.g.
<Journal>
<IsReversalOf>originalJournalNumber</IsReversalOf>
...
</Journal>When it is useful: in the simplest scenario, when Invoice's LineItem is edited, the original Journal corresponding to the Invoice is reverted and new one is created. We end up with three Journals: Journal1 and Journal2 cancel each other, Journal3 reflects (the new version of) the invoice. Unfortunately, all three Journals have SourceID pointing to the (now modified) invoice. Consequently,…

use consistent response structures
The addition of reporting a contact's balances was a great addition, however I feel the response structure should be consistent, regardless of balances. Where any balances are $0, this should be reported as $0, instead of being removed. By removing the key, we are left only being able to test for the absence of data, which creates an assumptive logic.
I understand that removing keys for null values might be part of your api design (ie no email address entered doesn't return an empty <EmailAddress>, but technically, a customer always has a balance so there for the Balances data should…

Override tax amount of line items in Bank Transactions endpoint
Since overriding of line item's tax amount is possible in Invoices endpoint, same capability should also be possible in BankTransactions endpoint.

Be able to extract via API bank balances in Base Currency or in Foreign Currency of Bank Account
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.

Taxable payments report lodgement through Xero Tax
Recently lodgement of payment summaries through Xero Tax became available. You can also manually create these instead of handwriting the ATO forms which has been fantastic so far for our firm. It would be much appreciated if this was also done for the annual taxable payments report for the building and construction industry for tax clients who do not use Xero software.

Allow case insensitive search on Item codes
Apparently there is an unique index on Item codes which is case insensitive, i.e. you can not create a different item with the same code with a different case. However the API doesn't allow case-insensitive search on item codes, which is really awkward. This is a big problem when you get an error when inserting a new item because of an earlier item with the same code but different case. It's very hard to find the original item in this case.

Enable copying of purchase orders to bills
Currently the Xero UI allows users to copy a purchase order to a bill which is useful for tracking an order through to payment. This functionality however is not present in the API. The API also does not provide any reference between a bill created in this way and the original PO, so it is impossible to determine whether or not a Bill was created in this way.
I propose that the API enables a few things:
- Provide the bill/invoice/purchase order ID with the original purchase order. This ID would be the newly created records ID and allows us to…

Reconcile individual payments (NOT Bank Statement)
We receive payments from online services (stripe and paypal) and programmatically add an invoice as well as a payment for the invoice and the fee from the charge.
When the bank charge comes from the bank we go in and manually match them with the payments. With PayPal this is easy because they come in and match 1:1 with the payments and fees. With stripe it's not so easy becaue our daily payout contains dozens of fees and charges.
We would like to programmatically match these. Note that this is NOT the same as reconciling a bank statement, I think…

Bank rules in the API
Please allow me to list, get, post, and delete bank rules in the API. We manage several Organizations and we're copying around these rules by hand right now. It's annoying, expensive, and prone to mistakes. I'd LOVE to just write a script to do it.
