        Hi everyone, I’ve noticed something odd in the Zoho editor’s diff view. When I delete a single line, the diff doesn’t just mark that line as removed. Instead, it highlights parts of the next line as if they changed, even though they are identical. Example:

      • Markup instead of discount??

        Is it possible to have the discount field on an invoice or estimate be a markup instead? It's the very same functionality that I am looking for - to be able to markup an individual item by either a $ or a % and have that cost added (instead of subtracted) to the item cost.  Currently, I use the tax feature to accomplish this, but it's very awkward to have "Markup 15%" listed after the subtotal. Plus, if I want to markup items at different rates, I end up with several "markup" lines in the totals

        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.
