Timesheets

Query, insert and update Timesheets for a Xero organisation.

Table Specific Information

The Timesheets table allows you to SELECT, INSERT and UPDATE timesheet lines for a Xero organization. The Id column is generated by the 本製品; the value of this field combines the index of the line item with the unique, Xero-generated TimesheetID.

SELECT

The Xero API allows extensive filtering and ordering. You can define WHERE and ORDER BY clauses in a query to filter and order the results using any non-line-item column.

Note: The Xero API does not support filtering on line items or journal lines.

INSERT

Inserting a single row is straightforward, even with line item tables. Simply set the required fields and a new table object will be created as a single entry. To insert a new timesheet, the EmployeeID, StartDate and EndDate fields are required.

In addition to inserting a single row, line item tables offer two additional ways to insert into a table.

  1. You can insert a new object with multiple line items using XML aggregates. The elements supported here are the same as the Line columns with the Line_ prefix removed, except when providing numbers of units. See the Xero documentation for the Timesheets API endpoint for more details.
    INSERT INTO Timesheets(EmployeeID, StartDate, EndDate, TimesheetLineAggregate) VALUES (
      'XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX',
      '2021-01-01',
      '2021-01-07',
      '<TimesheetLine><EarningsRateID>YYYYY-YYYYY-YYYYY-YYYYY</EarningsRateID><NumberOfUnits><NumberOfUnit>8</NumberOfUnit><NumberOfUnit>7</NumberOfUnit><NumberOfUnit>8</NumberOfUnit><NumberOfUnit>6</NumberOfUnit><NumberOfUnit>9</NumberOfUnit></TimesheetLine> <TimesheetLine><EarningsRateID>ZZZZZ-ZZZZZ-ZZZZZ-ZZZZZ</EarningsRateID><NumberOfUnits><NumberOfUnit>7</NumberOfUnit><NumberOfUnit>7</NumberOfUnit><NumberOfUnit>7</NumberOfUnit><NumberOfUnit>6</NumberOfUnit><NumberOfUnit>9</NumberOfUnit></TimesheetLine>'
    )
  2. You can insert a new line item on an existing object by specifying the Xero-generated identifier of the existing record. For example, to add a line item to an existing timesheet:
    INSERT INTO Timesheets(TimesheetID, Line_EarningsRateID, Line_NumberOfUnits_NumberOfUnit1, Line_NumberOfUnits_NumberOfUnit2, ...) VALUES ('XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX', 'YYYYY-YYYYY-YYYYY-YYYYY', 8, 7, ...)

Note: Inserting into existing records will count as two operations against the Xero API. One is required to retrieve the existing record, and another to update the record with new data.

Update

You can update any field that is not read-only.

Note: Update operations will count as two operations against the Xero API. One is required to retrieve the existing record, and another to update the record with new data.

Delete

The Xero API has limited support for deleting any object. In order to delete objects, you must update their Status to an appropriate value.

Applicable values for this field may be state-dependent. For example, invoices can only have their status set to DELETED when the invoice status is currently DRAFT or SUBMITTED.
