unlock reconciled transactions so that updates can be made via API
Currently, you can update reconciled transactions in Xero. However, reconciled transactions are locked (read-only) and can't be updated via the API. Users want to be able to update reconciled transactions via the API (add descriptions, change accounts, etc.).

Modified date on product items should uodate when the on-hand quantity changes
When you change something simple on a product item (say the description) then a request for modified since returns this item.
But if the stock in-hand figure changes (because you've sent an invoice) then the modified date doesn't change and this item isn't returned in the atli query.
So, in effect there is no easy to tell (via API using modified dates) when the stock on- hand has changed. You would have to load all items every ten minutes to know what the current in-hand stock is... And then you would get rate limiting issues.

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…

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.

Support for Batching Manual Journal Updating by IDs in the Xero API
We are requesting a new feature in the Xero API to support batch updating of Manual Journals by IDs in a single API request. Currently, the lack of this capability presents significant limitations for high-volume organizations that need to update arbitrary subsets of journals efficiently. They can batch insert new transactions, but they are very limited when it comes to batch update.
Current Challenges:
- Arbitrary Subset Retrieval:
- Our use case involves retrieving a specific subset of Manual Journals by their IDs, as requested by our clients. Without batch retrieval, we are required to make individual API calls for each journal…

Expose employee cost rate data through an API endpoint
Currently, we can enter employee cost rate data into Xero, but this data is not available back to us through the API. This limits our company's ability to accurately track project profitability, especially through more sophisticated solutions using BI tools outside of Xero. A simple solution would be to expose this data through the Projects endpoint (
Usertable) or another Xero API endpoint (Accounting?). Such a limitation has sparked recent conversation in our LT to migrate away from Xero as our company grows > 50 employees. Without this data available in the API, messy workarounds are implemented externally.7 votes -
Expose the new Expense feature via the API
Xero previously had an Expense Claims public API available (https://api.xero.com/api.xro/2.0/ExpenseClaims)
However since 2018, a new Xero Expense product has replaced Expense Claims and any new organisation is forced on the new expense product. This new expense product currently has no available API.
This is a regression as the previous API allowed developers to build integration with the Xero's expense features, however it is now not possible anymore.
There is an existing trello card for this feature however I do not understand why it is still in the "nice to have" column although the number of votes is higher…

Query webhook status via API
After checking in with Xero support there I found there is there no way to poll the webhook status.
It is important to us that the webhook remains "OK" and we have had situations where it has disconnected due to changes in our software that did not go noticed which has required manual reconnection.
If we are able to query the webhook status then we can hook this up to our monitoring and react accordingly.

add the ability to trigger email of creditnotes to customers.
We can trigger emailing invoices from XERO to the customers email address, using the /email end point on the INVOICES api. We urgently require the same functionality for credit notes and we do not understand why this feature was not extended from invoices to credit notes. Urgently required for customer integration project.

Webhook payload update to decrease API calls
We use Xero Invoice Webhook to create the electronic invoices needed to comply with Argentina tax laws.
We have discovered some updates that could be made to the invoice webhook in order to dramatically decrease the API calls we send to Xero (to get the invoices details).I think this updates will also benefit the implementation of e-invoice in USA, AU and NZ.
The two updates are very simple. Just add to the invoice webhook payload the following data:
1 -invoice type (in order to avoid API call for bills)
2- nvoice status (in order to avoid API calls for draft…7 votes -
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…

Webhooks - support for Payments endpoint
Now that the Webhooks for Contacts and Invoices is in open beta please add support for the Payments endpoint as the next endpoint to be supported. Many of our customers need to be notified when a customer has paid an invoice and update their internal CRM systems. Would love to be able to do this without having to poll for new payments.

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.

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.

Lets make the integrations with client details seemless
Challenge:
We love using Xero there are so many pluses! But…we also use add-ons which integrate with Xero. When information is pushed and pulled through, if our clients have misspelt their company name, or even written Limited as Ltd (or vice versa) it creates a whole new client in Xero even if the client currently exists (eg.if purchasing tickets through Eventbrite). We have three integrations going so this can happen three different times and for our administrators and accounts team…a logistical nightmare .
Solution:
I’m pretty sure a code can be developed that recognizes elements in a company name (or…
