  1. include non-billable time on invoices

    Please include an option to include non-billable time entries on invoices. We track all time spend via projects but can't necessarily bill for every 2 minute phone call or task - we would however still like to show our customers that we are spending time on their account, even if it's not billable.

  9. Enable us to see the client portal from within the customer's account

    I would like to suggest a feature request - add the ability to view client portal exactly as clients see it. This is the only real way to ensure a quality customer experience and assist them over the phone with problems, training, etc. Not being able to see what our customer see puts us in a blind spot and makes it very hard to support them and encourage them to use the portal. Please add this!

  10. Enable default inventory account for new items

    Having to now select from Finished Goods, Inventory Asset or Work in Progress leaves room for error. It would be good if in the preferences for items we could select a default account and then only change it as necessary. We only track Inventory Assets but have had recent errors in the set up of new items as Finished Goods

  13. Costing & Profit Allocation

    Since all the bills are accounted for in Zoho, it would be easy to automatically show how much it costs to make an item, then manually input margins for various entities such as distributor, retailer and company's to arrive at what the MRP should be. I can give a futuristic SKU for the product I am going to make with a name and tag my bills to that SKU. Even budgeting can be done for deciding how much I can ideally spend to make a product and help me choose raw materials/sourcing accordingly. I am currently doing all of this…

  14. Limiting accounts that you can use on accounts payable/receivable.

    Zoho Books shouldn't limit accounts we can use on any modules: accounts receivable/payable. There are cases where we need all the accounts. I understand that some of these accounts don't show due to their type/category of accounts, but because of this, there are times when I am obligated to make reclassifying journal entries on the grand ledger.

  15. Opening Balances Bill wise

    While entering the opening balances of customers, zoho should allow us to enter invoice wise details i.e. invoice no , invoice date and due date. This makes it east for tracking payments and also for any other adjustments

  17. Invoices: State appearing in wrong line

    I have created a customer entry in Zoho Books. However, when I download the invoice as PDF, I see that the state initials appear in the wrong place. Example:

    Bill To
    Customer Name
    123 Main Street 2nd Floor
    New York
    10018 NY

    Correct should be:
    Bill To:
    Customer Name
    123 Main Street 2nd Floor
    New York, NY 10018

    Please fix this ASAP.

    Also, please add a colon after "Bill To".

    Thanks.

  19. More Options for Invoice Status and Refund processing

    To have more options for invoice status, like Canceled, Delivered, complain, ...etc ..

    Also, once a credit note is created for one item, the item should be removed from the invoice and if the credit note credited for the invoice, then the invoice should be marked as canceled/Refund. this is causing a lot of issues with processing orders since the invoices will remain paid even if the credit note is created

  20. Shipping Address Jumps to wrong address

    When I clone a previous order, it fails to duplicate the original address on the first order. This happens with accounts having multiple shipping locations.

    The same problem happens with Drop shipping Purchase orders.
