Our very first transaction was $100 from an officer to open the bank account. Booking that in Zoho is properly done with "Deposit from Other Account". I can select Employee Reimbursement as the account, but what I can't do is select the officer (or employee) as the source of the $100. My ONLY option is a "customer".

If I instead make a manual journal entry, my options are broadened to include both customers AND vendors. That's nice, but it still does not let me do the officer (or employee). Even after installing Zoho Payroll, I do not have this option.

Quickbooks also has this flaw. You would be improving upon them if you would let me select the Employee as the account. The disappointing solution Quickbooks has is the concept of "Other Names", but I have having an employee listed as both an employee AND a customer AND a vendor AND an other name just to work around the context.

Be better than that: let me choose the one name from anywhere.
