Zoho Books (and other finance suite apps) - Retrospective Linking of Invoice and Sales Orders to Quotes.

Zoho Books (and other finance suite apps) - Retrospective Linking of Invoice and Sales Orders to Quotes.

In some cases, Quotes and Invoies may be created sperately instead of using the convert feature.

In this feature request I am asking for the Finance Suite team to consider adding a lookup field to reference the quote on Invoices and Sales Orders, or some mechanism for linking them retrospectively.

Use caseses:
  1. Invoice and Quote created sperately by mistake
  2. Quote created later for reporting/record keepting
  3. Importing of data from other systems
I have tested updating the "invoiced_estimate_id" field on an invoice via the API and this did result in the Invoice and Quote becomming linked. So it does seem to be possible and if there was a way to set this on the invoice via the UI, and to be included on the Import CSV/XLS sheets that would also be great!

    • Checking validity of fields when converting Leads

      Hello, When converting a lead to a contact (and Company), we want to check beforehand if some fields are filled. Ideally a script or action should be triggered to check the fields and then continue if all is fine, or display a message and stop the process. Reasons: Leads are created with few data at the beginning (often name and email), and with time the profile is augmented. Until it reaches some minimal data, this leads shouldn't be convertable as Contacts. Contacts are people we are making business
