How do we access this new feuture, ? Can you elaborate better please

Completed? Where? These are still two separate modules. Does Zoho understand what was being asked here?

how do I get access to this beta?

Can I get to trial it without subscribing to Inventory ?
I don't think it will be of any use to me as there is no purchase receive & no roll for warehouse staff ( no monetary figures ) still ?
I'd like to see if it's worthwhile without this but I doubt it very much :-(

This new version is very good. liked it.

This new version is very good. liked it.

How do we get access to the beta release?

One of many feature requests with a projected roll-out date that has been missed by months without any status update for those waiting for resolution.

Any update on this. February has passed.

Now in April 2017 - any update on this?

would be nice to know when the consolidation is finished :) thanks

@reshma is this on track to be released Feb/2017? 1 day left.
Is there a release calendar anywhere?

+1 True! This would be a HUGE improvement.
Also need to integrate a B2B part on the client portal, so we get the orders directly :)

Hi Reshma... Thanks for the update. Looking forward to the consolidation of Zoho Books and Inventory.

I do not find it in the new features list of Zoho Books for Feb 2017 yet... I hope to have it soon :)

Whooooeeee, this is really fantastic news :-)
Please, please, please & one extra grovelling please......
When you are working on this, please consider that a lot of us would like our warehouse staff to access this module & we DO NOT want monetary figures available to the warehouse staff!
Another vital point is that we do not all use sales orders so it would be wonderful to create packages from invoices as well !!

Oh yes, exactly what will convert me from Quickbooks online.
3 other features would definately win me & quite a lot of others over I would imagine...
Create purchase orders from invoices
Create packages from invoices
A user profile which does not allow any monetary values shown on any docs, forms or lists - ie purchase order receives, invoices, sales orders, stock items etc !

Wow awesome! Really looking forward to this. Please consider adding support for aftership also, and you have a new customer. We currently don't use anything like aftership, but it would be a big improvement and worth switching for! : )

If I can make one more suggestion, it would be a dedicated "commission" section for calculating commissions on paid invoices for rep groups. I think some work-around was mentioned on the forums, but I think this should be a core feature in any modern accounting software. I check Zoho daily/weekly waiting for the changes need for our business to make the switch. Keep going, this suite is so close to being #1 and above all the competition!

Hello, interesting point, I too found that mainly ITEM & ITEM GROUPS were different, while sales & purchases are somewhat duplicated in both inventory and books. If you create a invoice in inventory it shows up in books and vice versa.. I think instead of switching from BOOKS to Inventory.. Inventory can be a extra module weather paid or not, but it can show up in ZBOOKS.

But perhaps ZOHO sees that there are some customers that already have their own legacy accounting system and will only need Inventory, or only need expense, etc. -- If you sign up for both i agree that there should be less need for switching back and forth, Reshma did say they are looking to eventually getting all in to one screen, but not for now, which is okay with me, as there are other improvements they should make first.
