I'm confused on how to handle outsourced contractor expenses on a customer project. Between my business and the contractor, the invoice they send me fits obviously into Zoho Books as a Bill. However, I need to be able record those expenses to the client
A few suggestions for Zoho Books
Hello. I've been evaluating Zoho Books for a small law firm practice. The interface is solid and I like the integration of accounting and time tracking, which is hard to find among cloud based services. I have a few suggestions that would be very helpful in determining whether we can adopt Zoho Books: 1. Be able to assign bills to clients/projects. Quickbooks desktop allows this and is very helpful in keeping track of bills that haven't been paid, but will be invoiced to clients as an expense. Creating

Opt-out from mailing list means can't email at all??
It seems that if a contact unsubscribes from a mailing list the only way to email them is to uncheck the email opt-out box first, then re-check after the email has been sent. I've been through a chat with support and they confirmed this. This seems bizarre. Many of my clients don't want to receive a monthly newsletter but they definitely want to be in email communication with me, often on a daily basis. Any thoughts out there?
Email Opt Out Question
Has the problem where if a customer is emailed opt out prevents you sending standard emails? For me this feature is simply to stop any email marketing and should not block people from receiving emails via Zoho mobile, which makes no sense.

Placeholders in Ticket Templates
We should be able to use placeholders in ticket templates. When we create a new ticket, our description field is shown to the client in the email they receive.

Using them in the subject field as well, so we can auto populate Account Names, etc.
