Invoice module possible?

Asked by ZAP

Howdy -

Just discovered HomeBank and I'm trying it out and so far appreciating its clarity and simplicity. It will probably be very useful for managing a simple non-profit account where I just need to keep track of funds received and disbursed and other related expenses. Thanks for the good work!

We also need a simple invoice creation and accounting program for our business, and it seems to me that the program that we currently use for this (Instant Invoice, a Windows app that I run using Wine) is very similar to HomeBank. Perhaps you could be convinced to either add some invoicing features to HomeBank or create a separate version for this purpose? I have been looking for Linux software to replace this Windows app for months and I haven't found anything like it, so I expect that a lot of other folks would be very happy if you did.

Basically the software I'm looking for is almost identical to HomeBank except that it's focused on (or includes) a list of invoices instead of bank transactions. Instant Invoice allows you to create simple invoices (it keeps a list of customer accounts and can also store product info, although I personally enter in descriptions and amounts every time), displays them in list and report form, and also allows you to enter payments for each. Take a look at it and I think that you'll see that the structure of the program is very similar to what you've already done in HomeBank, so it might be just as easy as creating a basic invoice module that would allow users to create transactions as invoices and viola you've got a simple invoice program as well as an accounting one.

Please consider adding this to HomeBank. I think that it might expand your user base to a lot of people with small businesses or who do contract work. I know that I would appreciate it very much!

Thanks! I'm sure that your list is long, so I'd definitely appreciate you adding this to it. I've been using HB for the last month or so and I'm very happy with it.

Adding an invoice facility would greatly enhamce HomeBank, any idea on when this may happen?
