We are using Positive Pay with our bank, which requires us to send a list of issued and voided checks, including the check number for each transaction. While the check number is clearly visible in the Xero UI, it is not exposed via the API — even when retrieving full BankTransaction or Payment details.
This creates a significant gap for automation. For accounts where we don’t/can't manually populate the Reference field, we have no way to retrieve the check number programmatically. Being able to access this field through the API (e.g. CheckNumber, PaymentRef, or similar) would allow us to fully automate our Positive Pay integration and eliminate manual steps.
Please consider exposing the check number in the API, even if it's just a read-only field in the BankTransaction or Payment objects.
