fmAccounting Link (Xero Edition) Update April 2021

We’ve just released an update to fmAccounting Link (Xero Edition), our FileMaker solution for integrating with the Xero Cloud Accounting Platform. This update is all about adding new features that our existing customers have requested with a focus on Purchase Orders, Credit Notes and Manual Journals.

Purchase Orders Changes

We’ve updated the Get All PurchaseOrders script to support downloading Purchase Orders from Xero using the modifiedSince parameter (download purchase orders created or modified since the specified timestamp). This will create new records in the fmAccounting Link file if they don’t already exist and update any existing records that have changed since the specified timestamp.

We’ve also added examples for downloading Notes/History from Xero for a Purchase Order and creating a new Purchase Order Note in Xero.

Credit Notes Changes

We’ve added examples for downloading Notes/History from Xero for a Credit Note and creating a new Credit Note Note in Xero, as well as working with Attachments for a Credit Note (downloading attachments from Xero and uploading attachments from FileMaker).

Manual Journals Changes

We’ve added support for downloading Manual Journals from Xero (either all Manual Journals or by date range).

We’ve also added examples for downloading Notes/History from Xero for a Manual Journal and creating a new Manual Journal Note in Xero, as well as working with Attachments for a Manual Journal (downloading attachments from Xero and uploading attachments from FileMaker).

The full list of changes are listed in the version history notes here. Existing customers can download this version from the link on your original order email (contact us if you need the link to be reset etc). If there’s any examples that we don’t currently have that you would like to see please get in touch and let us know.
