  2. have the ability to close project tasks

    It would be really helpful to be able to make project tasks closed so time can no longer be booked to parts of a project that have been completed.
    If this was a tick box then if a task was ticked it could be unavailable in the time entry.

  4. Create the ability to enter Expense refunds when working with projects. I'm perplexed as to why this simple data input isn't available.

    Being a small Business contractor interested in the bottom line on individual jobs and know if there profitable; projects can accumulate a large amount of receipts, Zoho Projects allows for this data entry and the ability to run reports like Profit and Loss along with many others to actually see how the job is coming along. without the ability to input Expense Refunds inhibits any practical use for this feature in Zoho Books altogether making reports inaccurate.

  6. Track hourly rates at the billed level and paid level in projects

    If I charge my customers for direct hours and charge them $40 per hour and I pay my employees $20 then I should be able to track that just like an item.

  7. we should be able to attached documents like PDF and JPG files with all sales and purchase bills or invoice, which we should be able to mail

    Per Entry we should be able to add related PDF / documents and Jpg files with each sales invoice and while mailing clients our invoice we should be able to attach them. i.e. when doing some projects, sending an invoice only is not a requirements, but they are also asking for challan signed copy, AWB copy or when it was delivered etc etc, getting those details from the physical files becomes hectic and time consuming job. This will help to send all the data to client via mail on a single click.

  8. Task wise Cost budgeting, allocation and tracking

    In case of a project where Budgets are decided based on the Tasks to be done, while creating a task an option is to be provided to update budget of such task and while booking the expenses, it should be allowed to map such task to know the amount spent till date and amount to be spent to arrive at the correct forecast about project profits.

  9. Allow association of specific income account with individual project tasks.

    We track our income on a more granular level than "sales." However, we must manually adjust the associated income account for each line item in an invoice (because we itemize individual days of work). It would be nice if, when a project is created, individual tasks could be pre-associated with income accounts. "Sales" would presumably be the default, as many organizations most likely do collect all income under this account. For those that do not, such as ours, this would mean that we would have fewer steps to handle bookkeeping when we submit invoices.

  10. I would like to be able to post negative time against a project in Zoho Project. So I can see what has been CR to the cust. in Projects.

    I have billed time in Zoho Timesheet and issued the customer an Invoice in Books. Customer disputes it, I issue a CR Note in Books, but I also want to be able to log a negative timesheet in Zoho Timesheet so that anyone can see what has been credited back. This would show a wash out from the orginal Zoho Timesheets so it's a balance entry. Entry in and then a entry out.

  11. Inventory Items on Projects

    Having the ability to added inventory items to a project would be super helpful! I know there is the option to associate projects to bills but most items we have in inventory, have already be paid for at an earlier time and so we just charge the customer at the time of the project. So, associating a project to bills, doesn't really help us.

    Could this be added?

  12. search by custom date

    When looking for projects in the overview, we can only use predefined date settings. These are today, this week, this month, this quarter, this year or all of these but with "last" instead.

    Would be very useful if we could search using custom date.

  14. Add new 'Cost' field to timesheet, project and accounting reports.

    Add new 'Cost' field to timesheet reports. We are spending time creating labor costing data, but we cannot get the data out of Zoho. This is a poor implementation to add a field and not add it to ANY reports. Priority fix should be made to this.

  15. Change colour of paused task to yellow or orange

    When a timed task is running, it is green. When you pause it, it remains green, so it's possible to miss this fact. Can we please change it to yellow or orange to indicate it's not running?

  17. Provide a field for POs in Project setup

    Add tracking info to the Projects setup.

    Provide a field to for a PO# when creating a new Project. The Invoice template should retrieve the field name and value when we're billing for the project. The Project list/report should also display the PO.
    A field for a Job Number or Docket would also help.

    Anyone working freelance as a copywriter, graphic designer, web developer, etc, would be accustomed to using these features for timesheets and for billing.

  18. Permit client based time entries

    Timesheet entries should be permitted according to clients and/or projects rather than according to projects only. Currently, time keepers are unable to select the relevant client and project of that client. They can only see the project name. Some clients have the same project names and it causes confusion for time keeping staff.

  19. Project Cost/Revenue Budget = Accepted Estimates/Sales Order Values

    Please enable a feature where the Project Cost and Revenue Budget is automatically calculated based on the value of accepted estimates or sales orders.

    Currently for each variation cost we receive, we have to manually update the Project Cost. Comparing the project cost, to the total billed amount is the only way of ensuring the project has been invoiced in full and this requires a lot of manual work for something that could be automated.
