Hi there,
I have been using Essentials for over 2 years now (on the advise of my accountant) - however apart from getting all my banking feeds and tax stuff sorted it is not very useful to me in one of the most time consuming part of my little art business - being able to write and customize Quotes and Invoices (partial and final).
The two template options do not work for me at all.
The closest would be Items and Services but I would like to change the actual names (headers) of the colums - as it stands I write all my Quotes (and resulting invoices) in word ...
I usually have 2 differnet templates - but the one used most often has 5 colums - one with a number format (as in how many items), second is detailed description of goods and services (with unlimited amount of letters below), and then 1 price per inch (yes inch) .. excl. gst, total price of item and finally Total (defned by how many there are - as in first colum) - now I do get that this might actually need to be one extra colum for any maths to work behind the scenes - e.g. lets say I am looking at 3 items with the same size - lets say 30" - I have a price per inch price and then a price per item - lastly price for all 3 - in order to get the price per item to correspond with the 30" I guess I would have to have a separate colum - but that aside - I would be happy already if I could just change the header accordingly....
I asked about this when I first signed up to Essentials but back then there was intrest but nothing came of it - so here I am trying my luck again...
If at least I could change the header description that would help.
The other thing of course is I do require deposits, and then depending on the order size there may be 2- 5 payments that will have to have separate invoice numbers over many months - how could I possibly deal with this?
Or shall I just stick with Word... ?
