Planning non-staff costs

Planning non-staff costs

What is the intended method for planning non-staff costs such as travel disbursements etc.?  I can link zoho projects to zoho expenses, but that only tracks expenses once they've occured.  We have projects with significant travel costs that I need to plan for before they occur and build them in to our billing/proposals...

                                                    Though we move from the traditional project management system (using papers) to an online project management system, we still prefer to have a printed copy of the activities/tasks that are to be done in the project. This way, we can carry the to-do lists with us for the meetings and refer when we are offline. The print option, available at the right side of the page, allows the users to print the project information across all the modules. However, this option failed to print all the tasks & milestones

                                                    Hi All, Today, we have made an enhancement in task inline editing. In 4.0, task edit is moved in a single screen in a pop-up. We designed this in-order to make the task edit across the product to be the same. Let it be in Feeds, Tasks & My Tasks tab, Calendar & My Calendar tab, a click on the task title will open the popup and user can edit the values. Customers pointed us the inline editing was very useful to them & how much they miss that in 4.0. Based on the feedback, we have rolled out this enhancement.

It's been a frequent request on our team before we can adopt Zoho CRM, and this helps remove that. However, one small detail: the reason people wanted Log a Call was to quickly log a call's activity with the minimum effort possible. With the structure of the new Log a Call function, you have required several fields that are unnecessary for most people and that significantly slow down salespeople or CSRs in logging calls.
