Portal Name
Hi, we have two organizations in zoho books and inventory. Accordingly, we have two portal names both in Zoho inventory and Zoho Books. One of them is called Outback Ventures and another one is called Outback. One of our users "accidentally" erased the organization with Outback portal from Zoho Books. Now I am trying to restore the Outback portal in Zoho Books or change the name of the Outback Ventures to Outback but the system says that the portal already exists. It is not allowing me to create

I like to reconcile the checkbook weekly but not finalize it. (I am used to QuickBooks) Going in whenever time allows to see where we are at in the checking account. Is there any way to change the balance without deleting all that I have done or do I have to reconcile it fully each time?
Invoice problem w/ Brazilian taxes
Hi guys! I'm facing a curious problem when creating an invoice in Zoho Books: in Brazil, the taxes are charged considering the gross value of the service. There are 5 different taxes that are contained in the same invoice: ISS, CSLL, PIS, COFINS and IRPJ. Each one collects a different percentage from the gross value of the service sold: ISS 5%, CSLL 1%,PIS 0.65%, COFINS 3% and IRPJ 1.5%. I use Books in sales: tax-exclusive mode. My problem: Zoho Books sums the gross value of the services to all

Why does Zoho automatically create an Opening Balance Adjustment to offset Square Fees?
I just imported my first transaction after integrating Square. The transaction has a $1.02 processing fee from Square. When I look at my Expenses, I see "Square Fees" shows zero. When I click to see transactions for the "Square Fees" account, it shows the $1.02 Square fee, but then shows "Opening Balance Adjustment" of $1.02 to cancel it out. Can someone please explain this? How do I account for Square fees?
Custom template sharing
How about we have an area where users can share templates ? I'll start it off with a much more compact invoice template for those that have a lot of items to invoice! All you have to do guys - is copy the HTML code below, in invoice templates, click Customize layout, Click the HTML button, Highlight all of the text & then right click & select paste (Ctrl V) to overwrite the existing code. Click HTML button again & edit to your requirements. I know the code below is VERY messy as the HTML editor

Sales Order for Product with Installments (Financing)
Hi, I was wondering if anybody had this challenge, to sell a product that will be paid over time. Example: Sell a widget, for $300, which will be paid over 12 months at $25 per month. Ideal Solution: It would be great to be able to create a Sales Order for the Widget, possibly including 12 qty of an "installment item" and create an invoice each month for each "installment item". I found many "Accounting Best Practices" and I would like to know if there is an "easy-enough" way of implementing this
Invoices for service items
Hi, I send invoices to my investor in order for him to repay our expenses. However, income is always booked on the sales account, while this income is obviously not sales. Each time the invoice is paid, I have to add a journal manually to correct. Am I missing something? A
Void bill with Partial amount paid
Hello, I have a bill with "Partial Paid" status, however the remaining amount to be paid is no more required from the vendor, so how can I void the remaining balance without changing the bill original amount?. For better understanding I list the below example. Bill amount = 100$ Amount paid = 75$ Balance = 25$ The vendor discounted the balance 25$ but I can't change the bill original amount due to accounting audit purposes. I just want to void the remaining balance and I'll leave a note. Thanks root
P.O Reports don't contain any POs?
The Active PO report doesn't contain a link to the POs. Only items are listed but not where they are coming from. I really need a report that shows the POs, items associated with those POs and their status... In a similar vein, the Product Sales Report don't show any Sale Orders. The sale report should have links to the Sales Orders for the items contained therein. -Tom
Export items
Why isn't the item unit exported / imported ? I assume it's the "Usage unit" shown in the exported file but this is not populated nor imported when filled ? I have run out of custom fields for items & would like to re-use my own field created for units. The option to show pre-defined units field on docs is not offered so I had to create my own! Will I have a problem re-assigning or deleting this custom field as it's been used in a lot of transaction ?
Search enhancements

Release notes available?
Sometimes I come back to Zoho that is open in a window and it says changes have been made and I should click to reload (which I do). Is this a notification of new features being released? If not, is there a notice that is sent out when new features are released or is there a Release Notes for new features one can look at? Are new features released incrementally or are there regular or periodic updates? -Tom PS: Nevermind, I found this thread that answered my question: https://help.zoho.com/portal/en/community/topic/upcoming-features-in-zoho-books
Loving Zoho Books
Just wanted everyone to know, specially the Zoho guys & girls.... Been using Zoho books for 3 weeks now & I must say... This has been the best move I have ever made, I was a Intuit Quickbooks user for over 15 years & a Quickbooks Online user for the last 3 years plus. The difference is amazing - Zoho is so flexible, has so many features, far less bugs & the help is outrageously helpful ! Thank you all so much for all the hard work you do in providing us with all the best features. BTW - can I now
Stripe as Bank Account
I really like that I can look at my PayPal account as a Bank Account under the Banking tab. I really wish I could look at my Stripe account likewise as a Bank Account. I understand the Stripe developers are really responsive to app developers. It would be great if you can work with them to make this happen quickly. I'm using Stripe a lot and would find this very, very useful. I suspect many others would, too.
Custom field enhancement
When a custom field is created then deleted, I believe the next new one index number is still incremented, this leads to difficulties with the api, unless I'm mistaken, but it's been trial & error on updating these fields for me ? There is then the difficulty of the placement order of these fields on docs when we have no choice of their position. Please advise if there is a way to achieve the above !
Upcoming features in Zoho Books
Do we have a page where we can see the new list of features, which are work in progress and can be expected soon to be added to Zoho Books ?
Work Order in Zoho Books
Is Work order creation available in Zoho Books ? If not, is there any work around available ? I have 3 items configured as products. Let's say products A, B and C. A process is involved where A and B are raw materials used to create product C. I will need to track inventory for all products A, B and C. On creation of Work Order, stock from A and B should be reduced and stock balance of C should be increased. Now, I have created items A, B and C. To enable inventory tracking, I will have to enable
Billable expenses as result of invoices?
Hi, In my (startup) company I have expenses and bills that will be reimbursed by my investor. Every expense I make, I mark 'billable', so that I can invoice my investor easily. However, I can't do this for invoices. So, I need to manually add expenses that where invoiced to me manually to the invoice to my investor. Questions: Would it make sense to also give invoices to option 'billable'; Billable expenses are technically not 'expenses' and they don't show up in the Dashboard under 'expenses'. However,
Tax on Advance Receipt
In India, advance receipt is subject to Indirect Tax (e.g. Service Tax is chargeable on advance for services). Also, the amount is subject to witholding by the Client. Both of these treatments are currently missing in Zoho Books. Request please include this as options asap. Thanks.

Client Portal Reset Password Prompt - Password Policy
The reset password screen for client portals indicates when a weak password doesn't conform to the password policy but never states or shows what that policy is. That is extermy confusing for the user. At very least the portal should show the policy and at best should do an inline check as the person types to shows that the password has conformed to the policy.
1099-MISC Generation from CSV Exported from Books
Anyone have a recommended service that they use that will generate and mail 1099's from the csv file that is exported from zoho? Thanks!
Contact navigation suggestion
I have a fairly large number of contacts in Zoho. I would like to suggest that at the top of the contacts screen a clickable alphabet be added so that I can quickly get to a given area of the contact database. As it is, I have to go the bottom of the screen, set show 200 per page and scroll down. Or click multiple time on the paging arrow... Thanks, -Tom
Description entry on weekly time entry view
It would be really helpful to be able to enter my daily notes on the time entry weekly page. I have seen this done in other systems through a small icon next to the time entry box, on clicking that icon it shows a popup that allows for the description to be entered.
Assign a Sales Order to existing Purchase Order, rather than create a new one
I understand that the "normal" chain of events is to create a sales order and then use that sales order to create a new P.O. But, it would be nice if, in addition to that, one could assign a sales order to an already existing PO. It would be convenient as I sometimes create POs first.... -Tom
[PHP] Any way to attach a file to an invoice?
I read https://www.zoho.com/books/api/v3/invoices/attachment/#add-attachment-to-an-invoice. It seems should be "multipart/form-data". However, I can not predict the exact form of the data I have to send a file to the server. Maybe someone can help me with working example or give any fresh idea? In my PHP code, I use some params in curl as part of $zoho->makeApiRequest. curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type: multipart/form-data') ); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, TRUE); //
Match transactions in Banking
Please leave the view with 2 columns "Uncategorised Transactions" & "Match Transactions" when selecting a match. It's annoying to see it set back to 1 column of "Uncategorised Transactions" :-(
Item costs in foreign & base currency
I have a question regarding bills and costing of received items, we usually purchase products from external suppliers in foreign currency, then we pay for customs and taxes in base currency which then contributes in the purchased items costs. My question, after we record a purchase order for the external supplier then pay the bill in the foreign currency, how do we then record other costs for customs, taxes and other admin cost in base currency and reflect it to each item cost. Thanks in advance
Square workflow
New user here. I noticed that two square payments from yesterday were combined into a single deposit into Square Clearing, with the customer name "Square Customer". Is it possible to split that out into two different customers? How do people usually record sales made through Square? Not sure if this is relevant, but I prefer not to generate invoices, instead I just record sales (which I assume is only necessary for cash and check sales). Thank you.
Remove Inactive Accounts
Dear All, How can I either delete inactive accounts from my chart (zero balance) or at least remove them from showing on reports like Balance sheet. There are many 0 accounts showing on the report. Thanks Karan
OCR Scan / workflow suggestion
There are no purchase orders shown in matching transactions ? Along with the existing features.... I would suggest that a perfectly useful work flow would be ..... Raise purchase order, receive items... Receive ..... Scanned delivery note - Receive items make PO status "Received / Part Received" & attach scanned delivery note (If we convert to bill now we may not have had the bill yet & can't fill the relevant details forcing duplication of workflow ?) Scanned Bill - Select received/part received
