  3. Billable Item Markup or Margin

    In the items section, Zoho has the ability to make it a two sided item (meaning it can be a sales item or a purchase item).
    This would be great if the concept could be taken to its logical conclusion.
    If we think of a single transaction going through all the stages, we see that
    A quote can be converted a sales order, and it uses the sales side price.
    A sales order can be converted to a purchase order, and the purchase side cost is used
    A purchase order can be converted to a bill
    But a bill cannot…

  5. "Tax Inclusive" by default

    In the settings there is an option, which we can choose (1) tax exclusive or (2) inclusive or exclusive. Now the GST has implemented and we are all supposed to raise tax inclusive invoices. So along with these two options, there should be an option which is always tax inclusive.

    Allow me to import all of my inventory data from quickbooks enterprise solutions.
    -Item Name/Number
    -Manufacturers Part Number (MPN)
    - Unit of Measure (U/M)
    - Description on Purchase
    - Description on sales
    - Cost
    - COGS Account
    - Preffered Vender
    - Sales Price
    - Income Account
    - Asset Account
    - Reorder Point (Min.)
    - Max to order
    - Quantity on hand

    Also easily editing multiple items at a time would be very helpfull. Like using an excel program within the item list.

  9. ORDER STATUS BY ITEM

    An order view based on status by item would be great. When you view the transaction section of an item it'll show open/closed for each order, but the order could be open due to a different item. The same problem applies when doing an advanced search by product and status.

  10. Display quantity sold and received in return against and item

    Items section should have fields showing QTY of an Item bought, sold and received back in return (not only show the final stock).

    Same should be available in sale by item report(customisable).

    It will also help analysing the best selling/low selling/satisfactory/Nonsatisfactory Item etc.

  13. edit item

    Should be able to link a downloadable document from the documents folder to items. For example - we have items that when selected always require the same PDF to go out with the estimate. Would be helpful to be able to attach these to the item to save keep reattaching every time!

  15. Committed Stock

    Our Items are part of Composite Items too. When we need to assess committed stock of an item, we are having to search at item level and then at each composite item. This causes efforts and delays.

    We suggest that based on the committed stock of the related composite item, the committed stock of the item should include the committed stock of the composite item where it is going to be used.

    For example, if I have a product named X which is in use in a composite item named Y. If I have 20 number orders for X and…

  16. available for sale

    in Custom View we can add "Stock on Hand"..
    it would be great to add
    - "Commited Stock"
    - "Stock Available for Sale"

    We have many confirmed sales orders daily, and its difficult to know the Stock we have available for each item. The only way is to open each item one by one, and it is time consuming.
    In an Spread Sheet, i'm able to visualize what is really available for sell, will boost productivity to make best decisions.

  20. Airline tickets

    selling Airline tickets is a commision based thing, or flat rate thing, this means i may sell 2 tickets on the same plane , both economy class, both sits next to each other , but one cost/sell 800/1000 , and another one is 1600/2000, so when invoicing each of these client i will have to go to the items menu and change the cost and selling, otherwise i can never know my true profit.
