  3. Allow setting of monthly budget hours on projects

    Using zoho invoice, I have the ability to add project budget by hours. But some projects have a recurring budget. For example, each month I can spend 150 hours for a project. At the end of that budget we stop and bill them. Next month, the budget resets, and I have that available again. This ties into the dashboard as well, because when i login, I want to make sure those projects are staying on budget each month.

  4. Expense and approval options

    Zoho books allow us to create user roles and users. However there should be 2 important updates when it comes to adding expenses.

    1. The admin should be able to create a role which allows only entering expenses and not to view. 1.1 As another option the admin should be able to restrict the user only to view certain expense accounts if the viewing option is given to the user. It should not be possible for the new user to see all the expenses in the company.
    2. As of now there is no approval option available for expenses. I believe that…

  5. Ability to Create Purchase Order from a Quote and/or invoice!

    Hi, when will we have this? I think this is 6th or 7th time I have requested this. And i see ALL kinds of other users requesting it.

    And again -- we DO NOT use SO's nor do our customers.

  6. Customize invoice or estimate templates

    I wish I could customize my templates. For example for an estimate, I have a template for a proposal in monthly or annual. The sales conditions change. I would also like to add columns on the quote for a monthly subtotal and then an annual subtotal on the same line.

  7. Show tags on main page rather than 'behind the scenes'

    Being a frequent user of Tags, I find it unnecessary to have to go into a sub-screen to allocate the bill/invoice to a reporting tag. I would like to see the reporting tag option in the main input screen for visibility and input efficiency

  8. BAS reporting to provide capital and non-capital purchase amounts

    It would be very helpful if Zoho Books BAS report could provide capital (G10) and non-capital (G11) purchase amounts not just the sum of these (G12). The numbers in brackets are the item identifiers used in the BAS that business need to complete. Currently the BAS report does not produce G10 and G11 and so the user needs to calculate them out of system.

  10. Enable expenses to be split by Project.

    I do bulk shopping for multiple projects at once. I'd like to enter the expense one time only and be able to allocate the expense (from one receipt) to multiple projects.

    In Zoho Books, Reports, Tax Reports, we can only use the provided Tax Summary Reports. Can we get the cpacity to customize or create our own types of Tax Summary ? There are fields that we need to have in our reports (Customers / Vendors etc )

  13. Allow us to save custom reports

    Zoho Books currently allows us to save custom views but we cannot save custom reports. That means we either have to re-build the report we want each time we want to run it or create the report in Zoho Analytics. We don't mind creating it in Analytics but our bookkeeper needs access to this report and that would mean we need to set her up with access to Zoho Analytics which is a lot of extra work for just one report.

  14. Esign estimate/invoice without customer portal

    I love the idea of being able to send estimates/invoices for eSigning. However, I feel the usefulness of this is limited because customers must first sign up for the client portal and navigate through the portal to find the estimate and eSign it. The portal lacks customizability and using it could be confusing for customers who just need to sign a document. I would suggest keeping this functionality intact for those who use the portal, but adding document eSigning for customers who don't have access to the portal. It would function much like the native Zoho Sign process. The customer…

  15. bank charges to be automatically categorized for vendor payments or NEFT transactions and also include tax component.

    Example: when i make a payment of 10,000 using bank account bank charges a fee of 5 and tax of 18% which shows the transaction as 10,005.9. So almost every transaction has this 5.9 added. If there is a way we can define the bank charges rules for both vendor payments and customer payments, along with the relevant tax separately, it will be of great help as this effects all transactions done through the bank.

  17. Editable Item Groups/Assemblies

    We would love to be able to create groups of items (or assemblies) that we can actually view and edit while creating an estimate or invoice. Ideally this would include the ability to change the quantity and price for each line item in the group AND be able to hide the line item breakdown from the client.

    For example, the client would see "Total Travel Expenses" and a price. While creating the estimate/invoice, we would see and be able to edit the mileage, meals, and lodging line items that comprise the total travel expense assembly/group.

    Pretty please?!

  18. Make it possible to move a transaction from one organization to another.

    We have one set of bank accounts and credit cards. We run our personal finances through these accounts, but also a therapy practice as well as a rental property.

    We need to be be able to import one set of financial records and allocate to these three different "businesses" which I have set up as Organizations in Zoho or should they be sub-categorized in the chart of accounts instead?

  19. Fix Chart of Accounts Sort by Type so it sorts in Balance Sheet / P&L order

    Right now when you sort the Chart of Accounts by type, it sorts in some random order. The types should sort balance sheet and P&L order, grouped by type. When I sort by type now, I have "Other Current Assets" on the top, followed by Cash and Bank account types. If I reverse the order, it makes no more sense. Quickbooks sorts by type with balance sheet accounts first, in the order they would show on a balance sheet, followed by COGS and then Income/Expense accounts in order we'd see them on a P&L. Very logical, very usable. This seems…

  20. Forte Bank / Credit selection option at customer or invoice level.

    Add the Credit Card & Bank Account selection option to the invoice level for Forte. Similar to how Paypal has a Business and Personal selector. Add check marks to allow payment via either credit card, bank account or both.
