  1. Custom Fields for Itemised Expenses and Bills

    We purchase a lot of fabric and need to see cost per unit and fabric reason when we capture our expenses. Currently we are having to add each line item from our vendor invoice as a separate bill/expense in order to see this in our reporting which seems unneccessary and time consuming.

  2. Add Unbilled Expenses to Recurring Invoices

    I almost fell over when I realized this is not in the options. We can set all sorts of ways to have recurring invoices configured but the expenses cannot be added to them. You cannot even manually add them until the invoice is generated and by then the invoice was sent to the client. How did the development team not add this to the options. How has this not been suggested already?

  3. vendor gstin for purchase order should not be mandatory

    As for purchase order vendor GSTIN does not affect accounting.

    So vendor GSTIN should not be mandatory until a purchase bill needs to be created. While creating the purchase bill updation can be made for GSTIN
    Please remove vendor GSTIN from being mandatory as this feature is available in quickbooks

  4. Stopping Overspend

    I'll explain with a typical scenario.

    We had issued a post-dated cheque to one of our vendor before corona lockdown. The amount was more than a lakh. And we recorded the payment against the bill. But due to corona lockdown, the vendor did not present the cheque for clearing. So what happened here was in Zoho Books the payment was entered but the amount was not debited from the bank.

    Now when you look at our bank statement and Zoho books, they do not match as well.

    As a startup services company we have more expenses to be met. Since…

  5. Create bill on behalf of vendor and email to them

    Hi,

    I would like to have the feature where you are creating the bill on behalf of the vendor and can send them a copy of it, just like how an invoice is mailed to the customer.

    The reason is, we at Homely (https://homelynow.com) are into services of providing curated Home made meals through our website. Now the customer selects and places the order. We deliver by picking up from that home chef and delivering to that customer directly.

    Now since this is real-time and since Homely does not store the meal anywhere during this process, technically I'm…

  7. Allow override of GST values

    Override of automated calculation of GST values should be allowed at least for expenses and bills as many vendors round off the GST amounts which will never be reconciled if the GST values are different in person using Zoho Books and people using other accounting softwares

  9. Discount per item from vendors

    Allowing each stock item to be discounted on the bill - currently you get to discount the whole bill but then you only get the option to put it to an expense so you Profit and Loss it completely out when it needs to go against the stock item as the discount applies to each item or at least goes against the inventory asset account.

  10. Ability to customize dashboard items

    Zoho Expense claims automatically import into the "Employee Reimbursement" account under current liabilities in Zoho Books. Because of this, the outstanding balance payable to my employees does not show up in the "Total Payables" section of the Dashboard. In turn, this inaccurately reflects what is coming in and what has to go out. Being able to customize what is being included in these Dashboard sections would be of great help to reflect what I want to see.

  11. to draw cheque multiple bank account

    We need urgently : all canadian and US company (also in europe) have to be able to draw cheque in other currency. Easy to understand we are at the border and a great part of business has to deal with at least two currency.
    I ref. to another demand, I think Zoho should improve their capacity for international transaction.

    ''curreny. Such transactions create liabilities. The system doesn't allow for accounts to be currency denominated. This means the system doens't allow for anything other than a bank account or trade receivable / trade payable account to be revalued automatically. Quickbooks is

  12. include non-billable time on invoices

    Please include an option to include non-billable time entries on invoices. We track all time spend via projects but can't necessarily bill for every 2 minute phone call or task - we would however still like to show our customers that we are spending time on their account, even if it's not billable.

  14. Add Auto-Fill option for Expense Entries (based off previous entry for that vendor).

    I'm looking for an "auto-fill" function that will automatically fill in transactions (like for expenses) when any certain vendor is selected to start the transaction entry. In other accounting packages, the auto-fill is based on the last entry made for any particular vendor. The auto-fill should include things like the expense category and description.

  15. Scan already uploaded document

    Newly added auto-scan document feature is nice. Ideally, I want to use bank sync for recording them as expenses. However, I would still like to use auto-scan feature cash expenses.

    I want to setup a workflow where I will upload all the expense bills in Zoho. Attach all expenses from bank in corresponding expense entry and auto-scan all cash expenses (in a dedicated folder).

    As of now, there is no way to auto-scan already uploaded documents by selecting a folder or by selecting specific document/s.

    Having this feature added will greatly simplify recording expenses.

  17. automatically populate customer information when creating a bill from a purchase order.

    When creating a purchase order I can enter the customer information, but when I create a bill from the purchase order that information doesn't populate and has to be entered again, by individual line. There should be a way for the customer tag from the PO to transfer to the bill.

    Add the check # to the A/P payments made report. The report is useless without the check #.

  19. Enable expenses to be split by Project.

  20. Zoho Books' view to have same image orientation as Zoho Expense

    Apparently Zoho Expense auto-rotates to fix picture orientation of receipts, which is great, but zooming in on one in Books does NOT have the same/fixed orientation.

    Please make them both fixed/consistent.

    Apparently this is a feature and not a bug according to Zoho Books' support. I disagree but nevertheless here we are...
