  1. 'Timesheets' should be changed to 'Projects'

    The main area navigation selectors within Zoho Books include an option called "Timesheets" below "Accountant" and above "Reports". This option should be renamed to "Projects" as it is more than just timesheets. Hierarchically (within Books), it is Projects first, then it is timesheets, expenses, etc. Having to click on "Timesheets" to get to the "Projects" area is weird and confusing. Small change, but would make the UI make a lot more sense.

  2. To be able to select Items as Tasks in the project creation.

    We have created a series of items in order to create estimates. But I would like to be able to select these 'items' i the same way when creating a project.

  3. Global Rate Change for Users Needed

    There needs to be a way to make a global rate change to a user's billable rate, otherwise for every project that a user is assigned to, we must make a rate change for users (any time the user has a rate change).

  6. All the tasks defined for project should be available during INVOICE preparation

    My business involves only fixed cost projects therefore there will not be any LOG Entry. In this case I will appreciate if you provide fields for all tasks defined for the project while creating Invoice, which will definitely help.

  7. Make it possible to have a "master" account that cannot be edited by other team members

    Currently, if you grant access to any other user to modify the user roles in your account, they can delete your account or change your role—even if you are the owner of the account.

    We need a "master" admin that cannot be deleted.

  8. It would be nice to be able to create PO, add expenses and invoice by additing item for construction and maintenance projects

    As a construction and maintenance company we need to track our expenses, create purchase orders and invoices(by adding items) under a project. Any transaction that is created under the project should automatically reference the project.

  9. The ability to mark multiple projects inactive/completed at one time, rather than individually.

    This would be a huge time saver if the project list had a checkbox next to project where you can mark it "complete" or "inactive," instead of manually opening each project to deactivate. I work on hundreds of projects a year, so that would be very helpful feature to have.

  10. Add a weekly calendar to Timesheet, All Timesheet

    The monthly calendar is fine, but a weekly calendar would provide a more granular view of the week, and many organizations want timesheets posted by the end of each week.

  11. enable rounding on the time recorded for a job.

    I'd love to be able to say that time recorded in a project under time sheets using the timer rounds off to the nearest 10 minutes, or 15 minutes, or whatever I choose.

  12. Create a better individual timesheet log

    We can already see the weekly timesheet log for one person, but the UX is bad. I want to see the complete name of the project and the task and if the task is billable or not. I need more totals (billable, not billable, by client). I want to start the chronometer there.

    The other view, where I can see timesheets by day becomes crazy when you have more than 20 entries. Harvest is a very good exemple to follow for time logging.

  13. Project with itemised fixed budget

    I want to be able to create a project that has itemized fixed budget. For example lie this:
    - development : 5000.-
    - design : 3000.-
    - hosting: 1000.-

    When I issue an invoice for the project, I can show the items.

    Right now I can only have one total fixed budget, which I need to edit every time something is added and when I issue an invoice, only one line for the total budget is indicated.

  16. add a little more project tracking into zoho books.

    I love zoho books for my small professional services business. I just need to be able to organize a project with tasks and subtask (or phases and tasks). If you did this, you would be the only simplified project accounting software on the market right now. Integrating project management with accounting would be so awesome!

  18. Task pricing for Projects

    add the ability for a price to be entered into a specific task for a project and then carry that pricing over to the invoice when adding all unbilled time for a customer. right now you have to enter the price at the invoicing screen.
