  1. 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.

  2. Hi Xero, In ten years time, wish new management will delegate a new project for their own benefits: implement "combinatorial search terms like google drive" in your global search function in Xero Practice Manager. Combinatorial search terms are like " Client first name , last name and ITR 2017" to instantly bring up search result showing "income tax returns 2017 for John Doe".

    I wish your "Jobs" function in Xero Practice Manager allows attaching "attachments" to each job similar to Gmail for better workflow management.

    Please share management to implement for your own benefits.

  3. We have coded our interface to Xero using the XeroAPI wrapper.

    I am keen to use the new wrapper but have no idea how many changes I would have to make to switch over. Basically i am happy with XeroAPI but want Paged queries for Invoices.

    I'd like a document with some code examples that outlined the differences so that I can decide what effort would be required to switch over.

  4. Make it 'clickable' so you can go back to transactions that may need editing, or to remember how you handled a credit note etc. This would be great for people not that familiar with Xero.

  5. I want a windows executable that takes a csv file in a particular format and uploads it to Xero.

    I can then simply configure third party software such as excel to simply execute the executable and upload an invoice.

    I shouldnt have to goto the trouble of writing a heap of code to achieve this.

  6. 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.

  7. Make .Net classes to partial classes so we can take it to the next level like putting MVC validations or making new constractors to help us with the missing enums, etc.

    thanks in advance

  8. Would love to have a SoapUI project that has examples of calls of all the APIs. This should include the initial authorization steps. A huge benefit is this shows actual REST calls and is completely language independent. It would be a huge help for those of us getting started. It would also be very easy to update as the underlying API's change.

  9. Grails is the Rails for Java developers. Making a Xero Plugin for Grails would open up a ton of new SaaS companies for you as customers who want to integrate their SaaS grails application billing right into Xero. Like me! :D

  11. Where a restriction is imposed by the API (such as the characters acceptable as an Item Code) ... this should be documented somewhere ... ANYWHERE!

  12. Support in XeroAPI.Net for VS 2012 App Store projects

    Even though you can build App Store solutions with this XeroAPI.Net library and they run, they fail certification because the cryptography calls used are not part of the windows store API. A proper additional target platform build is required.
