  2. Option to add a text line Where it says + add another line

    Option to add a text line Where it says + add another line

    In Estimate, Sales Orders, Invoices
    Where it says + add another line
    Give the Option to add a text line rather that a product line.

    We need to group products i.e. four or five lines and then add notes under the group. The ability to add a text line would give me the ability to do this. This should be very simple for you to add.

  3. status

    Archive Estimates or create custom status that can be applied. Also custom views. I need to be able to archive estimates that have been converted to sales orders and then invoiced.

  4. Estimates with photos

    I think you should have a Item Photo, for each part number.

    For example, when I chose item#123-4 ... the parts, description, and a (small, medium, or large) photo appears next to the description. The photo should need to be uploaded in a .jpg image with max res of 400x400 and must be named the same as item# (ie ... 123-4.jpg )

    I have a picture of an example if you would like to see it. Its much more professional.

  6. the option to create estimates directly from selected inventory items

    would be cool to have an option to convert the selected items of inventory list directly to an estimate or invoice. just like the online stores do, you select what you want then create an invoice/estimate from that selection.

  7. Categorize the Estimate in PDF view

    Can you let us to categorize the Estimate with the functions to be more clear for customers for example :
    I am working in smart home solutions and need to categorize the estimate for Lighting section to contain all lighting equipments and HVAC to contain all materials it need and so on just one bar line to identify the content of the following items

    and this option should be marked from setting to enable or disable it and add different category for each Estimate

  9. Work flow automation Estimate to Sales Order

    When a customer accepts an estimate the next step should be available as an automated work flow. ie: Upon accepted estimate create an open sales order. This should happen if the client self accepts the estimate via the portal or if the Zoho user accepts the estimate for the client.

  10. Low and high range for estimates.

    I usually give a range of costs. For example, $500 to $600. It would be nice if there were a slick way to do that without adding it to the comments or description of the line item.

  11. To convert an estimate or sales order into a purchase order

    It would be really helpfull to convert an estimate to a purchase Order to vendor and the only thing that would need change is the pricing.
    But It will cut a lot of steps if you are able to do it.
    Can be either from an estimate or Sales Order.

  12. mark estimates as invoiced or create invoice from multiple estimates

    I frequently create invoices from multiple estimates. It would be nice to either be able to mark an estimate as "invoiced" manually or be able create an invoice from multiple estimates.

  14. post delivery of estimates and invoices

    I might be working on an Estimate at 10pm and it is ready to go.

    So I just want to send it.

    But I don’t want to send an email to my client at 10pm.

    And I don’t want to have to remember to come back to it the next day, or maybe in 2 -3 days time.

    So it would be really helpful to be able to SCHEDULE the delivery of an estimate email at some future date and time.

    In addition to the SEND button, there would be a SCHEDULE SEND button with a date and time pop-up.

  15. allow to cusomise the estimates so we can add/view the contact name

    Can't have the contact name in an estimate - note there might be a variety of different contacts within an organization and its more personal.

  19. Estimates for Prospects or Leads

    I am so grateful that Zoho CRM contacts can be syncronized with Zoho Books. Most of my estimates get sent to Leads though, and not Clients. This means I have to convert a Lead to a Customer prior to creating an estimate for them. When they don't actually buy, there is no way in CRM to revert them to a Lead, and I have to re-create them. This is causing a lot of extra work (both to send the estimate, and to revert them to a Lead) and headache.

  20. Customizing Estimate # when quoting through CRM

    If we send an estimate through Zoho CRM, the estimate # has our own #, but also includes a system generated 14 digit number. We want only our own number to appear here and not the system generated one.
