  2. Reporting Tags needed in Manual Journals and Bulk Add Expenses

    Reporting tags are a fantastic feature that can solve so many issues for Locations, Departments, Projects, etc. However, it is a real weakness that Reporting Tags cannot be assigned to Manual Journals or Bulk Add Expenses. I'm working around this by using Bills for some manual journals (eg, entering depreciation journal as a zero-sum bill) and entering expsnses singly rather than in bulk. But logically would be much better just to be able to add reporting tags to Manual Journals and Bulk Add Expense items. (Bulk Add Expense items also seem to lack tax coding.)

  6. Havning an Approval Cycle for the Manual Journals

    Having an Approval Cycle before Publishing the Manual Journal
    As well adding this approval cycle to the Users & Roles settings.

    because posting the manual journals without any approval is such a big breach in the security of any accounting system

  8. Feature for passing entries in manual journals for Accounts Receivable & Accounts Payable.

    For Example:
    A & B are the parties,

    Here "A" uses Zoho books & "B" uses other than Zoho Books.

    "A" sells the good "X" to "B" for 1000 on credit & "B" sells product "Y" to "A" for 1500.
    Here "B" asks "A" to pay balance 500 so balance 1000 shall get set off.

    But when i try to pass entry in manual journal it does not allow to pass the entry because you have not provided option of passing manual journals related to Accounts Receivable & Accounts Payable.

    There is no option to adjust bill amount in the…

  13. Fix sorting by Journal number.

    It's not digit sensitive, so 9 is treated as greater than 26 for example. Makes it difficult to see the most recent journals .

  14. Allow AR and AP in Manual JVs

    We have been using Zoho Books for multiple clients and there is one challenge that everyone faces. We cannot use "Accounts Payable" and "Accounts Receivable" while passing a JV.

    There can be multiple use cases when effect is required to be given through a JV in Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable account. I don't know the reason why the same is restricted in zoho books. Quickbooks allows you to do the same and it works well.

    Apart from above there are some small suggestions-
    1) One should be able to create a ledger while passing a JV. This is possible…

  18. Automated manual journal for depreciation at X% rate

    In Canada, depreciation rates for tax reporting purposes are determined on a per asset category basis. Depreciation is not linear. It would be nice to automate a journal entry based on that % and the remaining asset value on the BS. Example, for a 1000$ inial asset value that depreciate at 20% per year, Depreciation expense at year 1 is 200$, remaining asset value is 800$. At year 2, depreciation expense is 20% x 800$ = 160$, remaining asset value is 640$, And so on... Right now, the recurrin journals feature can only be set at a fixed depreciation value…

  19. Allow Zero Entries in Journals

    I like to clone a journal twice per month to enter my FBA payments. There are many accounts associated in this journal. However some months a field might be zero. If I delete it, then the following month it's a real pain to re-enter it because you can't just insert it in the middle. If i create a generic journal with all the fields, I can't leave it blank with zeros.

    Maybe somebody has a work-around for this.

    We need the account code in the journal upload file when importing journals through the manual journals section.
