ユーザーの皆さま、こんにちは。コミュニティチームの藤澤です。
今回は「Zoho CRM アップデート情報」の中から承認プロセス機能のアップデートをご紹介します。
承認プロセス機能では今回新たに3つの機能が追加され、これまで以上にデータ承認の柔軟性・透明性・機能性が向上しました。
【目次】
承認オプションの拡充
組織の階層設定
承認待ち状態でのデータ編集機能の追加
1. 承認オプションの拡充
承認者を2ステップ以上設定した上で「承認者の範囲」で「すべての承認者」を選択した際の機能が拡充されました。
承認者として「役職」や「グループ」などの複数人を含むカテゴリを設定した場合、各ステップで個別に承認方式を選ぶことができます。
ステップごとに「すべての承認者による承認」または「いずれかの承認者による承認」を任意で選択することが可能です。

2. 承認階層設定
組織の階層は「設定>一般>組織設定>階層設定」の画面から設定できます。選択できる階層は以下の2種類です。

「直属の上司による階層」を選択した場合の「承認プロセス」設定画面での承認の流れ:
1ステップ目:直属の上司、CEOまたは管理者による承認
2ステップ目:直属の上司の上司による承認
直属の上司がいないユーザーの場合は、以下のいずれかから承認者を選部ことが可能です:
また「承認プロセス」の設定画面では、承認方法は「いずれかの承認者」または「すべての承認者」から選択できます。ここで選択した階層設定は、すべての承認プロセスに適用されます。
3. 承認待ち状態でのデータ編集機能の追加
承認プロセス中のデータ編集が可能になりました。承認待ちの状態でも情報の更新や修正ができます。
承認プロセスに管理者を設定することで、組織の規模に関わらず、承認作業の効率化と遅延防止が実現できます。

プロセス管理者の設定状況により、承認できる人が変わります:
適用範囲:全てのデータセンターいかがでしょうか。承認プロセス機能を利用中のユーザーさんはぜひ試してみてください。

Ability to add VAT to Retainer Invoices
Hello, I've had a telephone conversation a month ago with Dinesh on this topic and my request to allow for the addition of VAT on Retainer Invoices. It's currently not possible to add VAT to Retainer Invoices and it was mutually agreed that there is absolutely no reason why there shouldn't be, especially as TAX LAW makes VAT mandatory on each invoice in Europe! So basically, what i'm saying is that if you don't allow us to add VAT to Retainer Invoices, than the whole Retainer Invoices becomes
