  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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

  4. 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.

  5. 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

  6. 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

  7. Allow staff to view and create expenses in specific categories instead of all or nothing

    Currently if I want to provide my employees with the ability to record expenses I have to grant them permission to view ALL expenses for the entire company. It is against privacy policies to simply allow staff to view each other's salaries and the financial situation of the company simply so that they can track their own expenses. I propose the ability to assign specific Expense Categories to specific staff members so that they can track expenses appropriately.

  9. Customize emails for vendor bill payments when using "Pay via ACH" integration

    When you make a bill payment to a vendor using "Pay via ACH", two automated emails are sent out.
    1. Notification of Payment Initiation
    2. Notification of Payment Success
    I would like the ability to customize the content of these emails like we can for the other system generated emails

  12. Itemizing expenses should show remaining balance

    When itemizing an expense (especially for an imported transaction where the total of the expense is known), Zoho auto totals all of the line items but it does not automatically calculate the remaining balance of the expense. I commonly split out certain fees or taxes from my expenses that import from my credit card and I have to do this with a calculator every time. It would be nice to have a button that enters the NET on a particular line, or at least just do the math for me.

  13. Record expenses from SMS received

    I pay for most of my expenses by UPI and thus receive SMS for amount paid. I would like Zoho Books to be able to read SMS and automatically create expense. Also an option internally to force read SMS which would then force creation of expense based on SMS received from Bank or Credit Card Company.

  14. Add a 'reference' field to the recurring bills / expenses

    When you're dealing with several recurring bills (or expenses) from the one vendor, it would be useful to identify what the new bill (or expense) is for once it is auto-created. gsuite for example: you could be handling different domains with one email account per domain - when the expense is created, is it for domain A, or B or C. A reference field in the recurring section would make life so much easier.

  15. Default tax on each line for bills

    Currently I have to choose the tax for each line on any purchase order, expense or bill. I should be able to default it to GST for Australia as almost every item has the tax, the same as it does when an invoice is created.

  17. enter part payments on expenses and have the option of payment pending

    Not all expenses are paid for immediately. There are expenses which are paid after a period of time, fixed asset purchases are made in parts over a year, which needs tracking.
    Currently payments are made over the year and recorded as advance payments. But you cant select multiple payments and match it with an expense bill. which has been paid for by multiple accounts. Expenses should have a payment pending status just like the bills.

    As of now I record payments as advance and the expense says paid through prepaid expenses.
    But net effect I have an advance under my…

  20. Display Base Currency Value of Foreign Currency in bills

    When capturing a foreign currency bill or expense, have the base currency value reflect under the foreign currency value.

    This would be similar to how the markup is shown on an invoice while editing, just it will be on the rate, the item total and invoice total
