  1. Create a Work Order document type

    The Sales Order document module is a little different, dealing with expenses and what not - It is not ideal for using as a work order system. I like Zoho Books. It is nearly a start to finish product for our business. But here's an idea:
    What our company, which is service oriented, needs is something similar to a dispatch or work order document module.
    Currently we use the Estimate module for both estimates and work orders, but this can cause mild confusion to our customers who receive a copy of the estimate at order creation as well as at…

  2. Change the way you handle price list

    Sorry to tell you that but the way you handle the price list and prices for items is not good at all...

    I am dealing with 3 currencies and exchange rates, Having to export my items to a cvs file then modify ONE FILE per currency is just a pain....

    Why dont you let us set the prices per item for all the currency and add a text box saying something like "Overwrite default exchange rate" or "use system currency exchange" to calculate the price.

    Working with CSV is really a pain especially when adding new items on a daily…

  3. allow time sheet users to add tasks to a project

    When I have a time sheet user work on a project, I always have to have the specific task already in there for them. It would be nice if they could add a task to the project to help detail what they are working on.

  5. change the CSV export of timesheets hours

    Currently when i export time sheets to CSV or XLS i cannot add up the hours or do any sort of analysis without manually changing each record as they are recorded as 7:30 and not in a cell that is the format "Time hh:mm:ss"

  6. Allow staff hours be billed as days

    Currently i have to calculate an hourly rate and ensure my staff put in correct billable/nonbillable hours. I would like to charge a client based on a daily rate rather than hourly. We should be allowed configure what a "working day" is e.g. = 7.5hours. And then if staff put in this in their timesheets we invoice a day, if they put in 3.75hours, a half day etc.

  7. Easily allow mechanism to offset withholding tax from tax payable.

    I can see how much tax I have to pay based on income and deductions however I cannot offset my withholding tax from this so I do not know how much I should keep for tax.

  8. 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).

  11. Add Payment details to Statements as well as Invoices

    Currently only the invoices have payment details. It would be useful for statements to also have these details to make it easier for customers to pay.

  13. Email Reminders based on Service or Product

    We have different services so it would be great to send a payment reminder based on the type of service.
    ie: Consulting: payment reminder
    backup service: payment reminder.. data will be deleted
    exchange: email services disconnected

    etc....

  14. Automatic Submission of EC Sales Lists

    It is required by HMRC to submit EC Sales Lists. Zoho Books can generate the list but is not able to submit it to HMRC as many other Accounting packages such as Sage 50 can do.

  15. Filter Chart of Accounts by COGs

    Currently, you can not filter in Zoho Books the Chart of Account listing by Cost of Good Sold (COGS). The only option is Expenses. There should be an option for each sub-category (ie Expenses, COGs, Other Expenses).

  16. Add reoccurring RETAINER Invoices

    It would be great if you could also create reoccurring RETAINER invoices too, most of my big projects are on monthly retainers that I bill against, especially when integrating with zoho projects this makes it even better, but without the ability to create reoccurring retainer invoices I have to do them all manually

  17. Use Vendor information when creating a PO or multiple POs from a single invoice

    There's another request to allow PO from Invoice (I agree with this)

    Adding to that, in the CRM there are fields for Vendor Name and Vendor Code which are not carried over to Books. And in Books there is the cost of goods sold which does not carry over to CRM (unless I overlooked something).

    All this information should carry over and should be used to generate as many purchase orders that are needed from a single invoice. A PO should be generated for each Vendor on an invoice and automatically carry over the Vendor name, Vendor Code (assuming this…

  18. Enable customers to be segmented

    We would like to segment retail/warranty and wholesale customers. The relationships, politics, payment terms, and internal training and responsibilities involved is different with both customer types. We currently use 2 Zoho invoice organizations to keep the 2 universes separate, but we would like everything in 1 accounting system. Another issue is reporting. Right now, I can see how many of what I sold to resellers, and how many of what we sold/served to retail customers. I would like to retain this ability, while using Books.

  19. Allow multiple currencies per client

    Why do we need to set up a different client, should our client request to pay different invoices in different currencies?
