API - How to get a list of defined custom fields
Hi, Is there a way to get a list of defined contact custom fields by API? To set custom field on contact I need to know its index and type, so I would expect presence of such endpoint, but I can't find any in documentation (https://www.zoho.eu/books/api/v3). Did I overlook it? Or maybe it's not documented? Thanks
WANTED extended trial period in Zoho Books
We setup the initial books a while back, but soon after we had done some initial configurations we no longer have access to Books. We have a professional subscription to the CRM package. So we were stalled in testing. 30 days doesn't cut it. I would like to suggest that you rethink how you want customers to engage in Books. Similarly to Zoho CRM, customers in Books should be able to enter, customize and live through the application on an unlimited trial or free basis before making the jump and committing

Good morning, I am exploring the e-mail templates settings for books and inventory when I want to send an invoice or client statement. • It seems Inventory and Books do not share the created templates.

I have a company asking me to ship to different places, I would like to sum up my e-mail template (Invoice Notification) with : •
Statement Reconciliation
Hi Everyone! Our scenario: We made an invoice for $100 to a US client. Our base currency is ZAR ($1 = R13). The client paid $100 from their side. The bank takes a portion for the transfer and we get $95 but in ZAR on our statement. The system then converts it back to $ once the client is selected in the categorization process. However, there is a portion short on the original invoice amount. We can't match this statement line to the invoice. How do we fix this? Regards, Geran

Language settings, payment terms
Hi, Just some general feedback and suggestions: I'd like to see British English in Zoho products. The option is unavailable in the Australian edition of ZB. In CRM the language can be changed, but in the settings screen still shows 'Customization' - the language setting should be in accounts/profile and reflect across Books, CRM etc. On another note the payment terms need x days after end of month as an option. Apparently these payment terms are only common in Australia and UK/Parts of Europe.

Localization Issues
Hi, We are getting very close to the point now where we are ready to go live with Zoho Books as our invoicing system (OrganizationID: 643856304). We have however had a few issues related to localization - we have customers who use different languages.

I will explain them here and would appreciate details of any existing workarounds or an expected date that they will become

Automate payments to Vendors
Hi, It would really impact positively in our business if we were able to create an invoice of a specific product, which would have been pre-configured with the Vendors' bank account information and the percentage of commission we get, in a way that as soon as the client payed, we would receive our 25% and our Vendor (in our case an owner of a vacation rental apartment) his 75%. Any chances or ideas on how we could get something like that to work? Thanks a lot in advance, Gabriel Leveau
Customising templates
Hi, I thoroughly enjoy the templates given, both for Sales Orders and Invoices. However, is there a way i can customise or change it such that there is minimal redundant white spaces within? For example, I had to key in 4 items in to the Sales Order and there is unnecessary large white space between each item and it extending the pages of the Sales Order by extra pages then is needed. The only work-around I can figure out is to use the 'Compact' template. However, it separates the Item and Description

Trying to better understand integration capabilities
I am considering using Zovo forms and books and want to check their integration. Can I do the following? 1. I have contact data that was input via a Zovo form 2. I update 1 field in that data 3. That triggers a) an invoice to be created in Zovo books, and b) the invoice to be emailed to the contact 4. In other cases, a change would trigger an email to be sent with a file attached (PDF of a map) Is this possible using Zovo Forms and Zovo Books? Do I need any other apps?
