  1. Booking of combined tax within a Tax Group

    I have created a Tax Group to combine two different taxes existing in Spain for certain small companies:
    • Value Added Tax, which is a positive tax
    • Withholding Income tax, which is a negative tax
    So, when I create a bill from a supplier who is subject to that tax group, Zoho Books calculates correctly the net amount payable to the supplier. However, both tax types, the positive and the negative, are booked over the same book account, the VAT payable account, which is, accountingwise wrong. Even being calculated from the same tax base, both tax types are conceptually…

  2. Allow Multiple Attachments for Expenses

    I attach images of the receipts to expenses. Some expenses have different components for the receipts. A simple example is different pages on one receipt where I am storing pictures without the ability to scan. Another would be multiple documents all together. I would like the ability to attach multiple documents to any given expense.

    Hi there,

    We now have the option to record payment for multiple bills.

    This option is currently available in the Open, Overdue, Unpaid and Partially Paid filters.

    Bulk select the bills(which are of the same currency) and click on the More option. You will find the Record Bulk payment option there.

    Hope this helps,

    Regards,
    Zoho Books Team

  4. Allow VAT value in bills to be set as a figure and not just a percentage value

    We need to be able to define a value for VAT in bills, or override a value, or even create a VAT item that will be 100% VAT and not just set VAT as a percentage of an item as is the only option currently in books. We import products into the EU and therefore receive VAT duty invoices from our shippers where the majority of the value of the invoice is VAT and the figure varies from invoice to invoice and is not associated with the cost of an item.

  5. Expense Category in main Bills View

    I think it would be a great idea to be able to see the expense category in the main "Bills" view. Same as it is with the main "Expenses" view.

  6. Manual entry of tax amount for expenses

    In Australia, some expenses are not taxed at the full GST rate, especially when dealing with government departments. For instance, I just purchased an online file for a total cost of $13.26 (incl GST) yet the total GST that I paid was only $0.46 which is nowhere near the standard 10% GST.

    I"d suggest that where the radio buttons are to nominate whether the expense amount is inclusive or exclusive of GST (tax) that an additional option be included somehow to manually enter an actual GST amount paid as part of the expense.

    Without this it is impossible to correctly…

  7. Allow bills to be paid by accounts with a different currency

    I pay most bills with the same credit card, regardless of which currency the bill is in - but if the currency doesn't match, I have to choose petty cash and add a note stating which account was actually used, which is an ugly workaround.

    Perhaps it would work if we could choose the account and note the amount that was charged in the account's local currency and perhaps also any extra fees (eg currency conversion fee).

  8. convert expense to Bill

    Ability to convert/migrate an expense to a Bill entry.

    Finding at times, when an entry is done and it is incorrectly listed as an 'expense' instead of a bill. (eg, multi-entry required), we will have do undo/unlink, delete the expense then re-enter as a bill.
    It would be good if we could migrate it to a bill, so we do not have to re-enter each time.

  10. allow an expense to be moved to another organization/business

    If I have a small business and home account, I'd like to be able to transfer an expense or transaction from one to the other. This is a feature in Wave that is very helpful when I've added an expense/transaction in the wrong place. I don't have to delete and reenter. I simply click the "move to personal" button.

  14. Apply Credit Card Payments Through Bills

    I would like to have the ability to enter a credit card in bills and have it apply the payment directly to the Account. As of right now, if i enter the credit card as a bill, it does not allow me to apply the payment to the Credit card account. I would like to see it either do one of 2 things:

    Allow me enter the bill with payment and apply it to the Credit card
    or
    after reconciling give me the option to add a bill, so i can pay it and have a record of it as…

  15. recode transactions

    To be able to recode multiple transactions which have been incorrectly posted to a nominal account.

    E.g. lots of transactions to bank charges where in fact it should have been posted to bank interest.

    The ability to recod multiple transactions would be a great feature!

  16. search unmatched bills and expenses

    in the bills and expenses sections i would love to be able to filter by what has been "matched" in the banking section. we were using rules in the banking section and then we were also entering receipts so we have double ups, 1 entered, 1 auto created by rules

    maybe as a "status" option

  17. billable expenses to be listed also with product during invoice creation

    When you choose to add the expenses to the invoice you can select and add only the expenses you want to associate with that invoice, but only defined by details, they could be of a number of mixed projects for that client, so impossible to say if you are adding the right ones. There is a project link too, but for me it only works if ALL the expenses within a the project are unbilled. If some expenses are left over from a project, they are listed together. Some more detail would be so useful to have so the selection…

  18. Would like to be able to select MULTIPLE expenses from the expense section and invoice them at the same time

    Once you filter the expenses that are outstanding to be billed for a customer or project you can invoice them one at the time (which is no good). There is no option from this few to add outstanding ones. It would be great if one could select them and add them all in an invoice.

  19. Chart of accounts:

    Is it possible under the chart of accounts to select which account is visible when you are entering in an expense. It is a pain to have to wade through all of the accounts to select which one to categorize an expense.
