while creating an invoice if a new item needs to be added one has to create a new inventory first and start invoicing later, it would be great if new item could be created directly by opening the inventory in a separate window, similarly for supplier ,customers etc, ---

it is almost the sole reason I went to the self-hosted server version. The main area I use this (at least once or twice a week) is when entering purchase invoices. I use non-inventory items and often I’ll be in an invoice and come across a code I haven’t used. I can open another tab (it’s usually open anyway) where I enter in the new (non)-inventory item. I then tab back, enter the code and continue on my merry way 🙂 ---
