What's New in Zoho Invoice | May - July 2024

Hello everyone!
We're excited to bring you the latest set of features and enhancements made to Zoho Invoice from May to July. Continue reading to learn more about them.

In this, you'll learn more about the following features:
  • TDS in Quotes, Credit Notes, and Recurring Invoices [India Edition]
  • Klarna Payment Method via Stripe
  • TDS Receivables Report [India Edition]
  • Associate Payment Forms to Invoices [Mexico Edition]
  • Overwrite Items Based On Custom Fields While Importing
  • Customize Keyboard Shortcuts
  • Filter Option for Notifications
  • Resize the Width of Columns in List Pages


TDS in Quotes, Credit Notes, and Recurring Invoices [India Edition]

You can now apply Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) in quotes, credit notes, and recurring invoices. Select a default TDS rate from the dropdown or create a new one by clicking Manage TDS.

To apply a TDS rate to your transaction, go to a transaction, for example Quotes > + New > TDS > Select a Tax.


You can also edit or override the applied TDS amount, if required. This is helpful when you'd like to update the TDS amount for various reasons such as business-specific agreements, international transactions, etc.

To adjust the TDS amount, click the Edit icon next to the TDS amount in transactions.


Klarna Payment Method via Stripe

This feature is not available for users using the India edition of Zoho Invoice.

The Klarna payment method is now available via Stripe. Klarna is a global payment method that offers customers a range of payment options like Buy Now Pay Later, installment payments, and more.

Based on your Stripe account's location, you can transact in AUD, CAD, CHF, CZK, DKK, EUR, GBP, NOK, NZD, PLN, SEK and USD through Klarna.

To enable this payment method, go to Settings > Online Payments > Payment Gateways, and click Edit Settings under Stripe. Then, click the Edit icon next to Payment Methods and select Klarna.



TDS Receivables Report [India Edition]

We've introduced the TDS Receivables report that you can use to track the TDS applied in invoices, credit notes and debit notes. You can group the report either by customers or the TDS rates, and also customize the columns of the report by clicking Customize Report Columns at the top.

To access the TDS Receivables report, go to Reports and click TDS Receivables under Taxes.



Associate Payment Forms to Invoices [Mexico Edition]

For e-invoicing, it is mandatory to include a payment form to specify how a transaction will be settled. You can now use the Payment Form field to associate payment forms such as cash, nominal check, etc., while creating invoices.

The default payment form in PPD invoices will be prefilled as Not Specified while you can manually select a payment form for PUE invoices. This helps you stay compliant with SAT while stamping invoices.

To associate a payment form, create or edit an invoice. After entering the necessary details, click the Payment Form dropdown under Payment Details.


Overwrite Items Based on Custom Fields While Importing

While importing items, you can now choose to overwrite items based on custom fields. If you've created a custom field for an item with the Prevent Duplicate Values option enabled, it appears in the dropdown based on which you can overwrite imported items. 

To do this, click Items > More > Import Items. Select Overwrite Items under Duplicate Handling. In the Map Fields page, you can choose the field based on which you want to overwrite items.



Customize Keyboard Shortcuts

You can now configure personalized keyboard shortcuts in Zoho Invoice. This way, you can quickly access the modules you frequently use or customize shortcuts to align with your specific workflows. You can also reset the configured shortcuts to their original settings or disable it altogether. Note that the keyboard shortcuts you configure will not be applicable for other users in your organization.


Filter Option for Notifications

We've introduced a filter option for notifications. You can now view your notifications based on criteria such as Mentions or Unread notifications. This way, you can easily view notifications related to you and never miss any updates.

To apply filters, click the Notifications icon from the top band and select the filter from the dropdown next to Notifications.


Resize the Width of Columns in List Pages

Adjust the width of columns in list pages that have more than eight columns. You can do this in the Customers, Invoices, Quotes, Credit Notes, and Expenses modules. After resizing, you can save the changes by clicking Save at the top. You can also reset the columns to their original widths by clicking Reset Column Width under More in the list page.





We regularly update our mobile apps, so visit the App Store, Google Play, or Microsoft Store to ensure you're using the latest version.

That's all for our latest product updates! We hope the latest enhancements are beneficial for your business. You can also visit the What's New timeline for byte-sized information about our previous feature updates and enhancements.

We will catch you in the next product updates! Until then, if you require any assistance or need clarifications, feel free to write to us at support@zohoinvoice.com, we'd be happy to help!
