Payments

Query, insert and delete payments for a Xero organisation.

Table Specific Information

The Payments table allows you to SELECT and INSERT payments for a Xero organization.

Note that this tables does not include payments on expense claims - to retrieve those, you will need to read from the ExpenseClaimPayments view.

Optimized Filters and High Volume Thresholds

The Xero API defines a list of optimized filters for certain tables and views. If any query filter not included in this list is applied to any such table or view, and the number of records available in that table or view exceeds a certain value (what Xero calls a "high volume threshold"), the Xero API will block the query.

To avoid the rejection of your queries by the Xero API, if the the number of records in your table or view exceed the high volume threshold, make sure to use filters from the list of optimized filters.

Note that the high volume threshold, as well as the exact list of optimized filters, is subject to change as Xero updates its API.

The Payments table has a high volume threshold of 100,000. The Xero API lists the following optimized filters for this table:

  • Optimized columns (when used in WHERE clauses):
    • Optimized for standalone use in WHERE clause or in an AND clause:
      • PaymentType
      • Status
      • Date
      • Invoice.InvoiceId
      • Reference
    • Optimized for use in OR clause:
      • Invoice.InvoiceId
      • PaymentID
  • Optimized ORDER BY columns:
    • PaymentID
    • UpdatedDateUTC
    • Date

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

To insert a single row, set the required fields. A new table object is created as a single entry. To insert a new payment record, the InvoiceNumber and AccountCode fields are required.
