    Cool Mar 20, 2009

    Jason, it is now sufficiently cool that I had to take a look. I figured it was not worth it for my small business, since I just do invoicing in Word documents. But you convinced me!

    Good work.

    Thank you Jason, Mar 24, 2009

    I already used the new invoice service and it worked perfectly.

    It is really thoughtful of you to provide us with all these new financial report facilitating features as this really helps us organize our business better.

    I am in the process of studying and thinking to make use of at least a couple of them for the time being.

    Thanks again,
    Albana

    Tax ID Mar 24, 2009

    Canadian translators need to show their tax ID on the invoice. How to enter these?

    Hi Christiane,

    You can specify your tax ID on your company settings page (in the "Financial information" section). I hope this helps.

    Best regards,

    Fantastic tool, but one small change needed Mar 30, 2009

    Thanks for your answer Jason. I find this Invoicing tool absolutely fantastic. I already transfered all my invoices.

    However, I think we need a financial overwiew showing the total amount invoiced before tax. What I mean is that when we go on the Financial overview page, the Sales column displays the amounts with taxes.
    Is it possible to display the Sales without taxes and then add a "Tax" column on the right? This would be very useful when one wants to know what his//her real

    Once again, bravo for this very useful tool.

    Hi Christiane,

    This sounds like a good idea, thank you. I'll add this to the invoicing development task list. Thanks for the great feedback.

    Dear Collegues,

    Hi Arkadiusz,

    I think you are wise to be cautious about protecting your invoicing data. I agree that the security of this information is very important. If you don't feel comfortable entrusting this data to an online service I can understand and respect that decision.

    To better understand how ProZ.com secures and protects the privacy of invoicing data, please see the invoice security page. Also, this FAQ and the one following it describe precisely who has access to invoice data, and under what conditions.

    Best regards,

    Jason

    Dear Jason,

    Thank You for Your comments.
    Protection is not the matter - it is obvious that Proz can deliver high-level security solutions. The matter is how Proz.com staff can use the gathered information (sell the information, generate the reports, analyse the market). Simply saying, good way to make money

    Kind Regards,

    Arkadiusz

    Hi Arkadiusz,

    Invoicing data is private, period. The links I gave above are explicit about how invoicing data will be used. For example, the FAQs say "Invoice data is treated as confidential, and will not be shared with third parties or used for marketing or other purposes inconsistent with providing support and maintaining and improving the service" and "Information included in an invoice is not made available to others or used for any other purpose."

    Thanks,

    Jason

    Thank you! Suggestion re: invoice numbering Apr 2, 2009

    This service is wonderful and just what I needed. I did notice, though, that if I place a series of zeros before an invoice number, they are taken away when the invoice is published. For example, if I have a prefix of 2009 and an invoice number of 0001, the number is published as 20091. I'd prefer it if it were consistently eight digits, or 20090001. That way as the year progresses, my reference number remains the same size: 20091004, 20090305, etc. etc.

    Hi Allison,

    Auto-incremented invoice numbers should now work properly with leading zeros. Please let me know if there's still any problem. Thanks for pointing this out, and thanks for your kind words.

    Best regards,

    Jason
