  1. Would be nice to be able to see the line item numbers when in edti mode

    When you create an estimate and save it you can see the line numbers in the PDF mode. Why can't you see this while creating and editing?

  2. Enable larger images to be displayed - Thumbnail is too small

    The image displayed in Estimates is too small for the type of products we sell. Sometimes it's small visible details that differentiate us from our competition. The images should be enabled to be as large vertically, as the description.

  3. Categorize the Estimate in PDF view

    Can you let us to categorize the Estimate with the functions to be more clear for customers for example :
    I am working in smart home solutions and need to categorize the estimate for Lighting section to contain all lighting equipments and HVAC to contain all materials it need and so on just one bar line to identify the content of the following items

    and this option should be marked from setting to enable or disable it and add different category for each Estimate

  4. Can you have one line item and severeal different quantities on the customer estimate?

    I may have 2 different parts to quote with different quantity levels. For example: P/N "ABC may need a quote for price levels of 500 - 1000 - 2500 pieces.
    P/N "DEF" qty levels at 25 - 50 - 100
    Can each part number be only one item # and multiple quantities below it?

  5. Possibility to convert the Estimate in a Sales Order

    I would like to have an option to convert the Estimate first to a Sales Order. And after that to an Invoice.

    Now there is only an option to convert the estimate to an invoice directly

  6. Allow users to customize Estimate Statuses

    The statuses now available for statuses are: Sent, Invoice, Accepted, Declined.... It would be greatly beneficial if we could customize these ourselves to the language we want. Ex: Under Review, Declined Lost to Competition, etc....

  8. mark estimates as invoiced or create invoice from multiple estimates

    I frequently create invoices from multiple estimates. It would be nice to either be able to mark an estimate as "invoiced" manually or be able create an invoice from multiple estimates.

  12. default items for Estimates

    There are some items needed for almost every Estimate, so it would be great if we can default them, instead of adding them into an estimate each time.

  13. Request you to include Proforma Invoice under Zoho Books to record advance Payments directly to the customer specific PO.

    Request you to include Proforma Invoice under Zoho Books to record advance Payments directly to the customer specific PO. it is very difficult to make a PI for separate PO's and recording payment against it. it will be great help and save lot of time. the advance payments should be reflected in customers respective PO's and PI's for tracking of payment individually if needed be.

  14. Better column filtering

    It would be very helpful to have actual column filtering instead of creating new views.

    For example, if you could click on "customer name' and then a dialogue box pops up and you can then click on which customer you would like to filter on. It would make it much quicker to find the estimate/ sales order/ invoice that we are looking for.

    Thanks!

    Hi! we're having a problem printing our custom invoice and estimate templates. Having too much content in those templates to print only on "usLetter" format, I'm asking you to unlock the "usLegal" printing format at least for our personnalized custom templates. We"re a franchisor and we're about get our franchises to implement with your system after testing completed and meet our standard. Thanks

  17. Sequential headers in Estimate

    I put two headers next to each other in several places in an Estimate. When I save the estimate, it deletes the first header without warning. Seriously annoying. I need these headers for formatting the Estimate in order to break the estimate up into sections with subtotals since Estimates do not support subtotaling for optional sections.

  19. Estimates Section

    In the Estimate Section , I would like to have the status update when its converted to Sales Order " From accepted to Converted to sales order"

    Please do the needful as we are getting confused which estimate is accepted but doesnt convert to sales order.

    We have it in the activity history but we would like to see in the estimation status itself before opening it.
