1. Allow the Demo Company to be reset without data - like a trial account

   As a developer I have to test against the Demo Company as it has no limits. Unfortunately it has pre-populated data that makes testing more difficult. It would be nice to reset the Demo Company with the default Chart of Accounts but no ledger entries and all account balances as 0 so we can follow changes easily after making API calls.

2. Simplify Testing - Endpoint to reset all demo account data

   In order to build solid, tested systems, we need to run end-to-end tests on our apps.

   Proposal - Create a custom endpoint only for "Demo Accounts" that will flush every bit of data.

   It's easier to create data in xero than to delete it. This will allow a reset before integration tests are run. We can then seed new data and run tests as expected.

   This will also allow projects with multiple developers to get their own test accounts setup and more easily match the rest of the team's.

   under review  ·  AdminXero Developer Platform (CEO / Founder, Xero Developer Centre) responded

   We have recently created a dedicated Developer Experience team to upgrade many of the services around the API. This type of functionality is part of a wider Sandbox EPIC that the team will look at later in the year.

   We will post updates as and when we have them.

3. List organisations & disconnect organisations via developer portal

   We came up with an issue that at the moment Xero Developer portal does not support and in our use case, it's a bit difficult to handle.

   In our use case, we use a 3rd party to handle the communication to the Xero API and we do not have access to our connections tokens because the 3rd party handles this.

   The issue that happened to us was getting at some point where the total numbers of connections didn't match on both systems (Xero Developer portal & 3rd party portal).

   We come across multiple connections where the token was expired and we couldn't remove that connection because Xero does shows a list of organisations attached to each application.

   We contacted the 3rd party to see if they could remove these invalid connections but without a valid token, they cannot call the endpoint to terminate the connection.

   We would suggest developing:
   - Another menu option on the Xero developer portal that lists all the organisations connected to the specific application selected.
   - On each entry of the list add a button to force the disconnection of the organisation selected

   This is one of the issues we're facing using 3rd parties to handle the communication to Xero API and I believe this screen would be very helpful to other developers to have quick access to the connections.

   Much appreciated the attention to the development of this feature.

5. An Enterprise Xero Platform for Larger Clients

   An Enterprise Xero Platform for larger clients to transfer to instead of having to go to another Accounting Platform. So you can transfer them to this 'level' of Xero and the transactions etc flow with it.
