Project-Based invoicing
  • marcnycmarcnyc January 2010

    I have been LOVING Simple Invoices dearly and I am excited about having it be my new one-stop solution for invoicing my clients.
    The only major thing I wish I could change or have different in SI is the ability to group invoices by Project. A lot of invoice softwares that I have tried and used before (Billings, iBiz etc) have this approach. You create a client, the you create a project, then you create an invoice, so invoices are grouped under projects and projects are grouped under clients... I've come to like this approach and rely on it for my business (I'm a freelancer in the service industry).

    Since SI only groups by clients the workaround I found to use SI is to modify two files so that the list of invoices will show the first custom field of the invoices (which I designated to be the "project" field), this way I can order by project and see the invoices that way.

    It would be great if SI in the future allowed for either grouping by Project or at least made the change that I made for myself available to everyone so that everyone can take advantage of this if they need to. Of course I'll be happy to share this code if Justin or anyone else wants it.

    Justin rocks!
