Invoice 2.0 - Expenses Improvement
Hi,
The new expenses feature is excellent, but I'd like to suggest some improvements:
1) For each expense added there needs to be a field that shows how the expense was paid (cash, personal card, corporate card, etc.). This is important as I need to claim from my company to recover the expenses paid in cash and on personal cards, and the ability to generate a report of repayments to me due would be very useful.
2) It would be useful to have a field that allows the "event" or "trip" relating to the expense to be added to each expense. For example, I might want to find all expenses related to the "Jan 2010 Dubai Trip" and having the ability to associate expenses with trips/events in this way would allow reports of this kind to be generated.
3) For expenses in foreign currencies it is necessary to go and look up the exchange rate each time an expense is added. Is it not possible to let the exchange rate be fetched from an appropriate website (such as http://www.oanda.com/currency/converter/) so that the user can avoid having to look up the exchange rate each time? The user can always overwrite the looked up value if a different rate is desired.
4) There is a "tax" additional field. I think it would also be good to have a "tips" additional field. If I charge a meal to expenses I'd like to be able to record the base price of the meal and also show separately the tip. I could do this with a separate expense, but it's better to have it all in one place as it is associated with a single transaction.
I hope that you find these suggestions useful. Invoice is becoming a much better product and I want it to be even better!
Regards,
Mark
