The bill import tool is unusable
Problem reported by Richard Cooper 10 years ago
I'm referring to https://secure.clearbooks.co.uk/demo/accounting/importer/import-bills/
-
Why is "Bill no." a required field rather than being automatically calculated like it is everywhere else in ClearBooks? It means I can't automatically generate the cvs files without knowing which ClearBooks IDs are in use.
-
It's also really easy to mess things up with "Bill no." because there is no format checking. The system happy accepts "This is garbage" as a Bill no. which creates an approved invoice which is invisible in the "All bills" list.
-
I set "Currency code" = "USD" and "Multicurrency net price" = some positive number. The resulting invoice is in pounds and all of the line items set to unit cost = net cost = 0.00
-
There's no way to specify a VAT treatment or exchange rate or to create an invoice in the "draft" status.
