Hi, I see there is a new version in the works and thought I would throw my 2 cents in..

I generate my invoices from timeless and it does an adequate job but I have run into some situations where it's a bit lacking for invoices.

1) Non-Taxable items.  Including an item on the invoice that is not taxable. This was not possible at the time I emailed a question in about this.

2) One-off invoice items. Sometimes I purchase something for completing a project and need to pass through the cost to the customer.  Usually it's a programming library or control or somesuch. The only way I can get this to show up is to create task items and insert a 1 hour entry in my timesheet for each one. I also have a customer that is making installment payments and have to make a new task for each installment if I want to have the month the payment is for show up as a line item.

3) Invoice numbers.  I have a hard time keeping my invoice numbers consecutive.  If the next invoice number was displayed somewhere in the report tab or status bar it would help.  Also, if beside each report it said the last invoice number printed by that invoice it would help.  An option to reprint the invoice using the last invoice number it used would help too when I have printer problems or if I need to correct something and don't want to skip invoice numbers.

4) Print to PDF If I could preview the report by double clicking it then had a 'print to PDF' button in the preview it would help (I email out invoices not print them). Right now I have to preview the invoice, close the preview window then right click and print to pdf..

We are planning enhancements in the next major release to make Invoicing more powerul and easier to use.  They will likely impact most of your issues.

In the current system, you can handle One-off items by creating an Expense item.

I use TT&E to keep track of time and costs. I then use reports as a basis for making invoices (which are done in another program). I like to do it that way, also because I live in Europe and we have very strict rules on how invoices should be made / look.

Hopefully new invoicing features will not complicated the ingeniously way the software works today....

I can not handle my situation with expense items. I have a customer making installment payments on a completed project every month. If I make an expense item, the invoice will not add tax onto it and I can find no setting to make it add tax.
