Apply Credit Note Automatically
We need the ability to apply open Credit Notes toward invoices generated by recurring invoice as the first, priority payment. This should be an option that we can enable/disable in the recurring profile and/or the Credit Note. Other invoicing systems can do this. I'm not sure why Zoho Invoice doesn't have it. Here's an example for a Recurring Invoice... If a customer has open Credit Notes, and a saved credit card set for auto-pay, once an invoice goes out, the credit balance gets automatically applied

[Invoice] Project billing by percent completion of tasks
Hello, I appreciate the various options for Project billing types and budgeting found in Zoho Invoice, but I would like to either propose a new method or find out if it' s currently possible. It would be very helpful to have project tasks that have a budget item (lump sum), against which the client is billed according to a percent completion of the task.

Invoice API Feature: method for "updated since date"
In my application and, I would think, in those of most other developers, I the developer have no use for getting all of the invoices (or customers or items or payments made, etc.) after the first time. Too much data exchange. Just give me what has changed since I last checked.

Invoice API create customer - response on duplicate
When trying to create an already existing customer (customer name), the API returns a Code = 1001 and Message = The customer "xxxxx" already exists. Please specify a different name.

Hi, I would like to request a feature. When creating a new invoice and selecting the customer, if would be very helpful if the customer notes would show up somewhere on the screen. This way, things like 'Please use this hourly rate for this customer' or 'Please send invoice to both contacts' etc. could be added. Currently, the customer notes are not very useful as you can only see them when viewing the customer page directly. Subsequently there is no way to add specific instructions for each customer
Need to send a formal receipt of payment
Hello, our latest client has requested a formal receipt for a payment they made on one of our invoices. I was surprised to realize that Zoho Invoice does not have this feature and there was not much discussion about this on the forums. So what do people use to send payment receipts? A receipt would include all of the information from the invoice as well as the date of the payment receipt and some language stating that fact. There should be an option to "Send receipt to Client" when a payment is

Mutiple invoices from one estimate?
Hi there, We use Zoho Invoice extensively to issue quite detailed estimates to our clients. The total of this estimate will often then split across multiple invoices. Is there a way we can automate this split in Zoho invoice? 1) Create estimate worth (say) £3000 2) Invoice 1 = 30% of estimate (£900) 3) Invoice 2 = 40% of estimate (£1200) 4) Invoice 3 = 30% of estimate (£900) All of the above is run with the estimate as the source.

Send Snail Mail Invoices Automatically
Zoho Invoice supports sending of Snail Mail invoices, but it's a manual process. We need an option to auto-send Snail Mail invoices for Recurring Invoice profiles. One of the reasons we switched to Zoho was because of the Snail Mail invoice option. Most cloud invoicing solutions don't offer it. We were surprised to discover later that it's a manual process. We still have plenty of customers that insist on receiving a printed invoice (whether we like it or not), so this is a critical need for us.
Item Categorisations

Add option to display project name in invoice header
Currently, when creating an invoice, you can choose to display the project name in the item name. This creates unnecessary repetition.

Richer Dashboard Experience and Ability to Customize/Configure
It would be awesome if the dashboards could really be customized to suit users unique needs - The ability to remove Budgeted Hours and add in some currency conversions for billed (outstanding) invoices as well as unbilled items.

I work/bill by billable hours - Billing the Aussi firm in AUD and being paid in AUD (converted into my US bank upon delivery).
