Thanks for this, it really help…

Is there any code to stop an item to be issued in sales invoice or receipt when the qty is zero?

Please i really need it if you have the code.

No

I cannot emphasize this these requests enough.

If this software company’s intention is to gain wider adoption, especially in the United States, then adopting the nomenclature of the most widely used, and despised, business software (Quickbooks) will make the transition enticing.

Most small business owners are not accountants or even that computer savvy.

The singular reason I keep coming back to your software and then ultimately giving up on it is because I have to ā€œcode switchā€ between two software languages.

Terminology here has legal implications and ramifications.

An ā€œInvoiceā€ is what you give, not what you receive.

A ā€œQuoteā€ is a hard agreed upon value, and an ā€œEstimateā€ has a flexible value.

If you are at all interested, here is what the workflow for a Quickbooks Service Industry with Inventory is expecting to see:

ā€œEstimateā€ - The expected labor time and materials given by the service provider to the customer to complete a Job.

A ā€œPurchase Orderā€ is a request sent to a vendor as a promise to pay for items or services.

A ā€œBillā€ is confirmation of received items or services which may be ā€œbillableā€ to a customer/job.

An ā€œInvoiceā€ is a request for payment to a customer/job.

I’ve attached two screen shots for you to review.

If you don’t believe people are getting desperate for a giant killer, then take a look at r/Quickbooks on reddit.

Thank you for your consideration,

To be clear, you don’t ā€œgive an invoiceā€

A Sales Invoice records the sale of goods or services on credit to a customer.

A Purchase Invoice records the purchase of goods or services on credit from a supplier.

These are terms used worldwide and there is no valid reason for using anything else

language would not work. Because there are thousands of strings, actually, development of manager.io (Languages) involves many volunteers who work on translating the application.

@lubos we can use aliases. This would just be a large table, that gives alias to all the strings of the application. So they dont change the string, they just allow the user to change the (Main menu) view by adding an alias. So when they open their business, they can turn alias on or off, for their convenience

My point isn’t to make the rest of the world change, This is a marketing opportunity for the project.

If manager adopted the terminology of the largest small business bookkeeping software in the U.S. Then the project would see widespread adoption.

I understand the work effort is huge. Our business does a lot of work work for our clients and I often need to remind them the word ā€œjustā€ isn’t allowed in the conversation.

I’m not an accountant but I am a subject matter expert who often has to explain and teach the concepts of my area of expertise to people who know nothing about what I do.

I’ve found using their language instead of mine has a much higher rate of success.

If you’re easily distracted you can give it a try with: https://xkcd.com/simplewriter/

Anyway, I’m back to work now…
