  2. CUSTOM FIELDS for BILLS

    1.   I know I can have custom fields for EXPENSES but is it possible allow this for BILLS? Basically theyre both costs, so its irrelevant if it’s a BILL or EXPENSE.
      
    2.   Also, can you make those fields mandatory?
      

      Thanks a lot

  4. Easier view to see that you have multiple attachments

    Right now we see this:
    http://prntscr.com/a9ot1h
    I cannot easily see that I have two attachments and also the names of the attachments are not displayed. It would be nice to display the number of attachments and in the center or at the bottom to display the name of attachment.

  6. seperate bills & Expenses in reports sections. like it is separated in Users & Roles. a no access user to expenses still can see it inreport

    in Roles, it is great to allow us to separate the access between the bills & the expenses. but surprisingly still the user can see the expenses registered in the bills reports!!

  7. Bill entry could be easier.

    When entering bills you shouldn't have to go into each item to make it billable and link it to a contact. It should be simpler. Maybe add a check box at the end of each item or a check all box. At the top you should give the option to pick the contact to link the bill to. This would streamline the entry.

  8. Mileage Rate Settings: Sort by Start Date

    In Expenses Preferences, Mileage Rates—where the mileage rate is specified for a start date—appear to be sorted based on when the entry was made.

    It would be helpful if this list was sorted by Start Date.

  9. Add new Data feild

    Please add CGST AND IGST data field to be pulled in customize reports from ZOHO Books. It will resolve 2 issues:
    1.Item Total will not be wrong
    2. Item TAX % break up will clearly be visible in the report.
    3. The same data feild is already present in Sale module of reporting

  10. Multiple branches to share expenses & Financial reports

    We need one expense / Bill to share among different branches. This could be acheived by Branch selection line by line on Expense / Bills Forms. For Sales it should be one branch to select at top of Invoice.

  12. Enable mortgage loans against property

    This is a sorely missing feature. The software should enable the entry of loan principal, interest rate and term and enable the reduction of the loan and the interest expense to be easily recorded. Keeping two separate accounts for principal and interest and having to enter two transactions per month is cumbersome.

  13. Granular Restrictions by Roles to only show the data created by the user to that user

    If administrator allow Create Expense or View Expense. all user see all expenses of company.
    But Give User Right to create expense but not see company all expenses.

    This is a very important feature. For example, salary goes into expenses and if we give a sales manager access to expenses to record his daily expenses, he will be able to see everyone's salaries, which makes it non-practical.

    Ideally, there has to be a permission level, whereby sales guys can create, view, update only the expenses that they have created.

    There are plenty of such requests by different users. Listing some…

  14. allow for the ability to pay multiple vendor bills at once

    It would be more efficient to be able to see all your outstanding vendor invoices on one screen and be able to select which ones you would like to pay. This way you will be able to pay more than one vendor at a time. We run checks weekly, so it can be as many as 30 checks a week, having to go into 30 separate vendors each week is tedious.

  16. Allow employee reimbursements to be applied to more than one expense reports

    When recording an employee reimbursement, all the employee's outstanding reimbursable expense reports are listed, but you can only select one of them!! It should be very helpful to be able to apply the amount paid to an employee across several expense reports...

  17. "Print name on check as..." field for vendors

    Sometime the Vendor name and the name we make a check payable to are different. Would be a nice feature to be able to have field where you can enter the check name and not have to change the Vendor display name each time you print a check.

  18. Add "semi-monthly" as a schedule for recurring expenses.

    Recurring expenses may be set weekly, monthly, every x months, on particular days, or on a custom schedule, but there is no means to make a single expense recur twice in one month on fixed days.

    This functionality is useful for expenses associated with payroll (e.g. recurring reimbursements) for organizations that have semi-monthly payroll cycles (e.g. 5th and 20th).

    Presently, accomplishing this result requires the creation of two distinct expenses, one for each of the two recurring days, each of which recurs on a monthly basis. This works, but it is burdensome to manage.

  19. print associated documents

    of particular importance/relevance in spain where all expenses submitted in tax returns have to be supported by the original invoice issued by the supplier.
    this could be as simple as print all uploaded documents between abc and xyz date, or ideally when running the relevant expenses report you have the option to select to attach documents uploaded for the items included in the report.
