Link Projects to Invoice Line Items via API
Link Projects to Invoice Line Items via the API
"Currently its impossible to link invoice items (revenue) to projects using the Accounting API. Furthermore, its impossible to modify invoices that have line items that have been linked to projects using the web UI.
This is a show stopper for us who have automated billing solutions and want to track the profitability of those projects within Xero. It's heartbreaking to have to do this outside of Xero.
Please make it possible for us to link invoice line items to Projects in order to use Xero as our Billing engine for invoices and invoice items that are generated outside of Xero using the API."
Per this uservoice post from 2020: https://xero.uservoice.com/forums/5528-accounting-api/suggestions/40747249-link-projects-to-invoice-line-items
This is a critical feature and massively curtails the usage of Xero Projects, exposing this ability via the API would massively help our business remove manual work and as supported by the countless comments on the User Voice article, many others.
