Same here, we have used Zoho for over 2years and sad to have to switch to a competitor because of the lack of a budgeting module

Long overdue. Budgeting needs to be part of ZohoBooks, period. Given I've waited over two years, will likely switch to the competition which has similar features and budgeting.

I'm a potential customer, doing the free trial right now. Quite simply, I will not become a paying customer if you don't have a budgeting tool. It makes no sense. Further, I've seen requests for budgeting modules going back 4+ years and repeated responses from Zoho saying they're prioritizing other things. Sorry, but you're not listening to your customers - this is troubling to me and makes me think this isn't the right service for my new company.

any updates? This is quite an important feature that will make daily operational use of Books a lot more functional and useful.

Why is this "flagged not for now"?

Another customer validating the need for budgets!!!! Please please please!!!!

Zoho, your customer base is screaming for a BUDGET feature and has been FOR YEARS. Just read these comments! You MUST add budgeting if you are going to keep your customers. Why are you insisting on ignoring these pleas? Budgeting is the life blood of business!

I vote for the budgeting function too. That is the main thing I am out looking for. i was happy to see all the other features of zoho: contacts, expense reports, and thought this will be perfect because it will integrate all our office functions, but then I realized my presumption that budgets are standard for books, made me realize we can't use Zoho. Bummer, it really was going to meet all needs, but now it would be pointless to use without budget. Until you get budgets, we have to move to a competitor.

i would like to vote to add on the budgeting function.

This has a lot of votes, its a critical feature of managing any business, my data is in zoho books I do not wish to migrate to Xero but it is difficult to measure your business without a budget plan. Why not consider it?

ZB Staff....this request is now 5th in the line of voting requests, and yet it is marked as "NOT FOR NOW". Why is that? There's obviously some reason that you're holding back on this feature. Could you enlighten us please?

Thank you.

Please include Budgeting.

What is the latest with this? madness it's still not included

I'm testing the trial version of Books and love it, except that there's NO BUDGETING ability. Really? Who runs a business without a budget? And "not for now" and no other roadmap/feature guidance means that I will sadly, have to go to a different service. Seems like a major problem to me.

I'm currently testing the trial version and love all the features. I do plant to purchase once my free trial period is up. The one KEY feature missing for me is budget management. I need the ability to track my spending against a set budget and get alerts when I'm within a certain range or exceed the budget. It would be AWESOME to have a budget tool added vs. me finding another tool that I have to do all manual entry of my expenses. I'd love to have a 1-stop shop for all the accounting needs for my business.

I am voting for a Budgeting feature to be added to Zoho Books as soon as possible, please!

Looking for a new accounting platform and without budgets, I can't select Zoho. Wow. 3 years of people begging for it and all they got was very polite seminar answers. Get your priorities straight so I can at least consider you at some point

The only feature that I really miss from Quickbooks! Before I was able to share my financial data with LivePlan to manage budget, but they do not work with Zoho and Zoho do not offer a Budget option. This is a must!!

budgeting is part of business 101
it is an absolute must to upgrade the software with this.

This is totally necessary, the budget is crucial when a business is growing. Actually, i have used Books only since January and now i really needed. (sorry my bad english)
