  1. Be able to print note in Packages PDF (not internal note)

    There is no way of adding customer's PO# in the packing slip which is required by all of my customers. It would be nice if custom field or reference number can be printed in the PDF or be able to use Note field to add such information.

  3. Track items with previous transactions

    Items cannot be tracked if they are involved in a previous transactions. We need this function! The only work around is clone the item and start tracking inventory on the new one, but there is no way to delete the original item because it has had transactions with it. You can mark inactive but that leaves every other item as a duplicate in your inventory which is worthless. I only need simple item tracking and this program still can't do it!

  4. The new update that marks a sale order that is not competed as "closed" just because is was invoiced is very confusing and inefficient

    Hi Yotam,

    There are two options under the Sales Order preferences that allow you to Close a Sales Order based on those conditions ( #1 when the sales order has been invoiced or #2 when the shipments associated to the sales order have been delivered).

    By default the system would have chosen option #1. Please navigate to Sales Order preferences under settings and change it to option #2. Following this, sales orders will be marked as closed only when the shipments have been delivered to your customers. Hope this helps. :)

  5. in Sales Order Report I suggest that....

    In Sales Order Report, I suggest that within the invoice column, where there is a blue dot marking the fact that invoice was created, I suggest the following color code which will add lot of value:
    Gray dot = Draft invoice was created
    Blue dot = Invoice sent / waiting for payment
    Green dot = Invoice was paid

    Regards

  8. Improved Comments for Contacts

    Include the comments section for a contact that is in Zoho Book, in Zoho Inventory.

    At the moment my staff using Inventory have to go into books to record a comment against a Contacts, even though they can read comments for Contacts left in books.

    Make workflow very unproductive.

    Best of all would be a comments tab that listed all comments against a Contact, including those against sales orders, invoice, shipments etc.. in the one view (maybe with a little icon to help differentiate)

  9. Backordering problems

    We have a couple of problems with the way the back ordering works. We often have multiple line orders which need backordering on multiple vendors. Due to lack of storage space, if we get items in at different times we often prefer to partial ship. Unfortunately Inventory doesn't allow this and it seems the only way to do it is to delete the purchase orders that haven't been received, create the partial despatch and then recreate the outstanding backordered purchase orders - nightmare! Can we have the ability to create partial receipts and partial despatches please.

  10. Order History

    I'd like the 'Comments and History' tab to show everything for the entire order in one consolidated place. I don't want to be required to click into the Invoice to see what's been done with that invoice. I'd like to see comments and history associated with all Sales Orders, Packages, Shipments, Invoices, etc in one spot. This allows multiple members of my team to quickly see what's been done (by another team member) and what needs to be done without wasting the time of clicking into each individual section.

  12. create packing slip in package area of Inventory

    I get confused when I am fulfilling an order because there is no way to create a packing slip in the Inventory module. When I create a "package" I get taken to inventory and I have to dig around to figure out where printing a packing slip for the package is. I end up doing a google search on how to create a packing slip. That tells me I have to go to Invoices withing Zoho books to create a packing slip. Why can't there also be a link to creating a packing slip within the Inventory module (and specifically…

  15. Batch Management - Retail and Food Industry

    Your inventory module doesn't handle batches. Is there any way that I can add additional fields in the Item table so as to add Batch Code?

  16. Allow wildsearch for adding items to documents

    for example:
    i have a product called "one size shirt red"
    i could add it only by typing "one size..."
    it would be very helpful if i could just type "shirt red"
    now we search on criteria "starts with.."
    i suggest adding also criteria "contains"

  19. Expiry date

    We purchase items that come with an expiry date that we wish to track in order to resale FIFO. If we order 100 liters of milk, for a same PO we could receive 60 of expiry date A and 40 of expiry date B. Could we track this?

  20. You should be able to set the default carrier for a customer. Then any order you ship, will already have the correct carrier.

    Manually selecting the carrier can lead to errors. If the carrier was linked to the customer then the process would be smoother and errors could not occur.
