  1. Ability to download all attachments for a batch of invoices or bills via the API.

    Dear Xero Team,

    I would like to suggest a feature for the Xero API that would help finance teams save time and improve efficiency.

    Current Situation:
    When processing batch payments, supporting documents (invoices and receipts) must be downloaded individually for each bill, which is time-consuming for organisations with many suppliers.

    Suggested Improvement:
    It would be very useful to have the ability to download all attachments for bills in a batch payment at once, ideally as a single zip file or in a structured folder.

    Benefits:
    1. Saves time and reduces manual work
    2. Ensures all supporting documents are archived before…

    Hi Hannah, while we appreciate your sharing your feedback here, requests for Xero's API are best shared on our Developer idea forum here.

    I've taken a quick look but it doesn't appear this specific request has been raised yet I'd recommend starting a new idea for this there, where we have experts and there may be other users of the API that would like to support your idea.

  2. Allow Planned Pay Date on Period Locked Invoices (API)

    I am using the API to batch assign bills to a planned pay date to help automate team workflows. Aged payables cannot be assigned a planned pay date due to period locks. I suggest that assigning a planned pay date via API should not be gated by period locks as it does not alter the transaction itself and is simply used for administrative process.

    Hi Evan, thanks for sharing your feedback with us. However, API requests are best shared through our Xero Developer ideas platform. I had a quick peak but couldn't see an idea started for this yet there, I'd recommend starting a new one. You're welcome to come here to copy and paste what you've shared.

    Our Developer forums have experts that can keep you updated of this sort of thing, and you're likely to get support from others using the API that this could help too. Thanks!

  3. Ability to remove VAT from purchase orders

    It used to be possible to raise a purchase order without VAT (selecting 'None' under the tax rates), but this has been removed with the recent update.

    VAT only needs to be shown on tax documents in the UK, so the option to remove these being put back when raising a PO would be really useful.
