Creating a Contact using the API
What is the minimal JSON required to create a contact using the API? I am passing in samples I find on the web and on the API site but I only get { "code": 2, "message": "The request passed is not valid." }which is worthless. Doesn't tell me what is wrong and how I can fix it. Thanks Ralph

Rules and Sales Orders
Hi, I am looking to create a rule for the following situation. When we create a sales order, I would like to check if it has a particular product attached. For example, we create a sales order for Product A, B and C and need to check if it contains Product A. From here, to send an alert or email to the sales person explaining the Product A is within the sales order.

Documents: View all to include folder location
View All Documents to include Folder location column. After uploading several documents during processing, we have to go back and move those to associated folders created. Unfortunately, in view mode (all/images etc.) it does not show folder location.

Mileage Recording in Books Mobile App
Recording mileage is a primary use of the Books mobile app for android. Is there a way to revise the home screen to include an icon that provides one touch access to the record mileage screen? As it stands, the "record expense" icon, when pressed, assumes what's being recorded is a purchase and does not give an option to record mileage. Therefore, one has to drill down Menu > Purchase > Expenses > Add > Record Mileage each & every time which is far too many steps to access a common function

[API Doc] Add description and link to UI usage doc for modules
This is just a minor inconvenience that could easily help when using the ZohoBooks API. Can we get a short description coming from https://www.zoho.com/ca/books/help/ that helps understand what each module is for within the Books ecosystem, or at least get a direct link to the help page for that module? I would think it's not much but it would help for developers new to Books to get a better understanding of what each module is designed for which use-case, which would reduce the risks of errors in

Accounting for dividends - UK limited company

I would like simply to account for dividends paid to the director (me) of a small UK limited company on the date that they were paid. Here is what I have done: 1.

Could someone please give an example of how one would manage a Director's Loan Account, such as: 1. Create the account in the Chart of Account - under which category? 2.

Bill Payments via Personal Account
Hi, My USA LLC company accounts in USD, but I am personally based in the UK and use GBP. I have suppliers in the UK who need paying in GBP. In order to pay supplier bills, I used PayPal to transfer USD from the company checking account via the company PayPal account (USD) to my PayPal account in GBP, which attracted a fee and was converted at 2.5% above the base rate. I then withdrew the GBP funds from PayPal to my personal bank account and sent them to the supplier via direct bank transfer. How

Why does the Wepay integration not show bank transfer?
When you use square, it automatically enters the bank deposit as a transfer out of the clearing account to your bank account. This is as it should be. When you use wepay, you have to transfer each deposit manually using the "transfer to another account" option. How can this be automated or fixed by zoho.?

Issue with HST Retun settings
I am not sure why anyone is not talking about this. So zoho books calculate HST quarter based on your company fiscal year. But for CRA quarters are fixed. Jan-Mar, April-June, July-Sept and Oct-Dec.

ZB: Mobile on Droid -expenses
Was so happy to load up Zoho Books on my mobile today. Droid specific. As a business owner, I wanted to categorize my uncategorized bank transactions. The navigation to this was great, however, I could only see amount and date of transaction. from the get go, it asks if it is a transfer/expense/vendor payment. i have no clue. need more info. Even when I select expense, I then ~only can see the amount and date--not even the description to help me navigate what i'm looking at. Can you expand that ability
Billable Expense "markup"
I order parts for my customers and "resell" them once in a while. Although the expense bill to customer is cool, it doesn't account for my time or any markup, or interest I might pay on that product before the client actually pays. It would be nice if there was a way to edit the expense such that I could apply a "markup". Thanks! Sean Garland Garland Tech, Inc.
Docs
With multiple bills in one pdf file only one is read by the OCR so when we attach the doc to a bill & then find the other relevant PO's to convert to bills & select "Attach from Documents", select "All Files" & the scanned doc is not there, even a search will not retrieve it ? So any doc with multiple bills have to be downloaded & then re-uploaded to attach each time - waste of storage space ?

Estimate to Sales Order bug in sequence
When I issue an Estimate, I usually want to convert it to a Sales Order when it has been accepted. When I go to that Estimate and select Convert To Sales Order in the drop down menu it tells me only Accepted Estimates can be made Sales Orders. Ok, so I select Accept Estimate. But it then immediately creates an Invoice. It should not do that! The only way to then be able to convert the Estimate to a Sales Order is to delete the created Invoice, go back to the Estimate and again select Convert

Purchase Order to Bill
When a Purchase Order that I created with one of my vendors has been received and I want to pay them, I go into the Purchase Order and click Convert to Bill. But none of the information from the PO goes to the Bill. Am I doing something wrong? Shouldn't the item(s) on the PO be put on the Bill? I shouldn't have to re-enter items on the Bill should I? -Tom
