  1. Allow advance payments to be recorded as income instead of liability

    In our service business, a project often takes weeks to complete, but labor and other expenses are incurred throughout the project period so we often ask for advance or installment payments. Since a final invoice amount often isn't known until the project is complete, we invoice at the end of the project and receive a final payment for the balance due. Under the current system, the advance payments received are recorded as a liability, but in our case it is actually income for services provided (labor costs, etc.) during the project. The current system imposes accrual based accounting on our…

  2. Use Professional Barcode Scanner in Mobile Apps

    It would be great if we could use the inbuilt barcode scanner on our mobile devices https://na.panasonic.com/ns/250230_FZ-N1mk2_Solution_Guide_FINAL.pdf. The camera is clunky and not fit for scanning many items in quickly. If we could select inbuilt scanner rather than it defaulting to the device camera that would be awesome

  3. option to select the Bank Account details from a multi tab that need to appear on Invoices

    We need to use different bank accounts for different Customers. It would be great if we are able to select the Bank Account Details to be used when we generate an Invoice. It can be a multi tab or a drop down list from where we can select the same.

  4. Give the ability to customize the look and feel of the client portal

    Give the ability to customize the look and feel of the client portal. For instance, I would like to change the Estimate "Accept" button text to "Yes, please!" Also, I would like to use a different label for Estimates.

  6. Import the Recurring Invoices - Overwrite Function please

    Please allow us to import with OVERWRITE for the Recurring Invoices. This will allow us to export existing Recurring Invoices, make necessary changes in Excel, then import it back into ZOHO. This would greatly help when we want to add a one-time note on all "Next Invoices" or if we decide to update a particular field that was previously unused. The bulk update only allows updating of fields 25 at a time.

  7. stop invoice creation for late paying customer

    If a customer has overdue payment, this function will not allow the sales team to make an invoice until the invoice is paid. this will save a lot of time on going over every invoice to make sure the customer has paid it before approving.

  12. Printing check to blank check paper

    I'd love to see the ability to print to generic blank check paper and have the system add in the check information (routing, account, etc) which Xero supports instead of having to buy pre-printed checks and store them with the risk if the checks are stolen they are usable (vs storing blank paper). This is the one function preventing me from leaving Xero completely.

  14. add gold and silver currency code XAU AND XAG TO ZOHO BOOKS CURRENCIES OPTIONS CHOICE TABLE

    THIS will solve the issue of recording purchase of gold as a reserve asset for management of corporate treasuries
    right now we are using the bill function with zoho books but it is not right because it is used for managing inventories, which is different from managing treasuries by investing in gold
    the simple and elegant way is to simply ADD a currency code XAU AND XAG to zoho books and then we could simply add manually an cash account denominated in XAU to record the transfer of fiat currency into gold as an current assset to hold in the…

  15. Allow memo lines to be printed with checks (i.e. - Job name)

    We use the same vendors for multiple projects and it gets confusing when a check goes out without the job name on it. Adding this will simplify things for our vendors!
