Export Invoices to XML file
Namaste! ZOHO suite of Apps is awesome and we as Partner, would like to use and implement the app´s from the Financial suite like ZOHO Invoice, but, in Portugal, we can only use certified Invoice Software and for this reason, we need to develop/customize on top of ZOHO Invoice to create an XML file with specific information and after this, go to the government and certified the software. As soon as we have for example, ZOHO CRM integrated with ZOHO Invoice up and running, our business opportunities
Merge Items
Is there a work around for merging items? We currently have three names for one item, all have had a transaction associated so there is no deleting (just deactivating, which doesn't really help. It still appears so people are continuing to use it). I also can't assign inventory tracking to items used in past transactions, which I don't understand, this is an important feature moving forward.. It would be nice to merge into one item and be able to track inventory. Let me know if this is possible.

Why can I not choose Unearned Revenue as an account on items?
Hello, I do not understand why we don't have the ability to code an item to unearned revenue. It is not an uncommon situation to have in business. I understand that there is the Retainer invoice as an option, however that doesn't really work for us. Our
VAT on Multiple Expenses
Firstly, might I say I am based in Ireland, and I'm not an accountant, and therefore my understanding of procedures could be somewhat limited. Scenario. An employee pays for items throughout a month, and therefore their claim for expenses includes multiple items - some of the items are VAT deductible (eg, an IT product) and some are not (eg, a client lunch). Discovery The odd thing in ZBooks, is that whilst it seems possible to add a VAT rate to a one-off item of expense, it is not possible to add

Open Sans Font in Zoho Books is not Open Sans.

New Menu Layout Feedback
I'd really like to see the banking item back on the top of the menu. I'm sure part of it is just because that's what I'm accustomed to. However, for a bookkeeping program, I think there's a logic to having banking be on top. Not a giant issue, but something

Avalara Sales Tax integration - AVATAX
Just wondering if anyone else is having troubles with this integration? Seems as though Avalara changed their billing process, unbeknownst to Zoho, and now ALL transactions are counted by Avalara, not just transactions in a taxable jurisdiction. This caused a huge price adjustment billed to us by Avalara within a month of us signing up. And Avalara is not cheap to begin with! Avalara has been great in waiving that increase, but there seems to be no fix. Zoho is aware of the problem, but slow
Goods in transit

Better implementation of Item Category on Invoices and Estimates
1) I have added Item Category as a custom field. Honestly, this should be a native part of the item itself, and either required, optional, or not used. 2) When entering an item on an invoice, you have to enter the first character(s) of the item, otherwise
Add new Card
How do you add a new credit card to a contact with Zoho API as can be done on web. I am not able to find way to do this with Books API, CRM API or Subscriptions API. This is an issue for our company as we do migration from a different system. I can add card to a subscription through Subscriptions API, but some of our customers may not have a subscription, but only invoices set up in Zoho Books. Is there any way in Zoho API to add new credit card to contact/customer?

Managing credit cards
Hi, I'm hoping someone on this forum can help me out managing credit card accounts. Transaction are entered as expenses using the credit card account and, as expected, the card balance shows as a negative since this is clearly money I owe them. Once I make a payment, of the full amount owed, I woudl expect the balance to become zero. It doesn't, the negative balance just keeps on increasing even though the payment is reflected correctly in my main operating account. No-one at Zoho seems to understand
