By popular demand from our customers, introducing the Credit Note feature in Zoho Invoice. You can now send out credit notes to your customers from your Zoho Invoice account. Retaining a documentation of every transaction is the sign of a good accounting practice. So never let that customer credit go unaccounted for.

You ask, “When can I issue a credit note?”
The math behind a credit note is simple. You issue a credit note every time you owe your customer some money.

You say, “List out a few scenarios where I may need to issue a Credit Note?”

  • Your customer has been of the “Rare customer” category and has paid you an advance. Whoa! Wish that happens again and issue a credit note with TLC.

Zoho Creator – Zoho CRM Integration – The First Step

Posted on by

As we grow stronger and push out more features, our focus has slowly but steadily been shifting towards integration between Zoho Creator and other Zoho business applications. A while ago we came up with an initial step towards integrating Zoho Creator with Zoho Reports. We are nearing completion on that front and we should be up and about soon. In other news though, some of our Zoho CRM users have long felt the need to build situated applications like Sales Commission Calculations, Quote Request, Travel Request etc which can be created in Zoho Creator, and make such applications available to their Leads/Contacts from Zoho CRM. Providing some level of integration between the two services seemed to be the next logical step.

On the one side was our successful online database software and on the other side was our popular online customer relationship management counterpart and making these two behemoths talk to each other was no simple task.

We reported about KnowledgeTree’s integration with Zoho last year. KnowledgeTree has further expanded this integration this week. From their blog post announcement:

Through integration with the Zoho collaboration and productivity suite, KnowledgeTree users can now create, share and edit cloud content in a multitude of file formats online. Rather than creating documents locally and then uploading them for collaboration, documents can now be “born in the cloud”.

In addition to common Microsoft Office document (.doc) and spreadsheet (.xls) file formats, you can create and edit rich text (.rtf) and text (.txt) files. Prefer the OpenOffice file formats? No problem, these are supported too. As a KnowledgeTree user, you can declare your independence from desktop software by using the Zoho integration for your document collaboration needs.

Zoho Chat is one Zoho app that is integrated across all our applications. With its integrated chat bus, Zoho Chat enables instant messaging across all our apps. Starting today, Zoho Chat will support Jabber protocol. This means, if you have a Jabber client, you can login with your Zoho credentials to chat with your colleagues. This obviously works with multitude of Jabber clients including desktop, web and mobile clients.

In our 2.0 release, we supported Jabber on the client side allowing you to connect to other Jabber networks from Zoho Chat client. With this release, Zoho Chat supports Jabber protocol on the server side allowing you to connect to Zoho from any chat client (we currently support only encrypted connections). This opens up many interesting use cases.

If you are like me, who prefers to be constantly connected, you can login to your mobile client and run the app in the background.

Browser share for SaaS apps is different – and discontinuing support for IE6 in Zoho

Posted on by

This comes as a surprise to no one, but today we are discontinuing support for IE6 across all Zoho Applications. With all the hoopla about IE6′s death, which even included a funeral, this was a long-time coming. We just wanted to give IE6 users a little more time. 

Looking at our traffic, from January 2010 to July 2010, IE6′s share (which was already very little), got cut in about half. We know it will take years before it reaches 0.00% (if it ever does!), but thought this was a good time to just kill it and focus on the newer, better browsers. We will not actively block IE6 users from trying to access Zoho applications, but we’ve stopped testing on it.

Now, speaking about browsers… Some other properties will see different traffic patterns, but because Zoho’s applications are one of the most advanced out there in terms of pushing the browsing experience and technologies to its limits, we tend to attract those people that care more about having a great browsing experience in AJAX-heavy pages.…
