Enables querying, inserting, and updating receipts for a Xero organization. Receipts confirm that payments have been made, and they help track money received by the organization.

Table Specific Information

The Receipts table allows you to SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE receipt line items for a Xero organization. The Id column is generated by the cmdlet; it combines the index of the line item with the unique, Xero-generated ReceiptId.

Note that this table only includes draft receipts - to retrieve receipts that have already been claimed, you will need to read from the ExpenseClaimReceipts view.

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 receipt record, the following fields are required in addition to at least one line item: Date, Contact_Name, and User_UserId. To add a new line item, the following fields are required: LineItem_Description, LineItem_UnitAmount, and LineItem_AccountCode.

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 LineItem columns without the "LineItem_" prefix, except when assigning tracking categories. Please refer to the Xero documentation of the Receipts API for more details.
   

   INSERT INTO Receipts (Date, Contact_Name, User_UserId, LineItemAggregate) VALUES (
     '4/19/2006 9:16:48 AM',
     'John Doe',
     'c81045b2-5740-4aea-bf8a-3956941af387',
     '<LineItem>
   	<Description>Coffee with client</Description>
   	<UnitAmount>13.00</UnitAmount>
   	<AccountCode>200</AccountCode>
      </LineItem>
      <LineItem>
   	<Description>Bagel</Description>
   	<UnitAmount>2.00</UnitAmount>
   	<AccountCode>200</AccountCode>
      </LineItem>'
   )

2. You can also insert a new line item on an existing object by specifying the Xero-generated value of the existing record. For example, to add a line item to an existing invoice:
   

   INSERT INTO Receipts (ReceiptId, LineItem_Description, LineItem_UnitAmount) VALUES ('XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX', 'Coffee with client', 13.80)

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.
