Zoho Project & Books Integration

Zoho Project & Books Integration

Along with Books I'm also a CRM+ user so I have Projects as part of my subscription.  I have the integration enabled and can definitely send some details from Projects to Books however the integration is pretty minimal at this point.   If there any plans to enable things such as:

  1. Role Rates - in a project I may have an Engineer, a Consultant, etc.  each role is a different billable rate.  I don't see a way to may this happen in a project that would translate to invoicing the customer in Books
  2. Billable Time - In some cases a project is sold to include x number of hours - for example a web design project may say 20 hours included.  If the client uses 30 hours we would bill for the 10 hour difference at either a pre-defined rate, or the billable rate for role type.  I don't see any way to do this so that the charges flow through to Books automatically.
  3. Down Payment - what is the best way to bill a client for a project down payment and then have billable time/expenses use that payment first before billing the client again?
