Thanks for implementing this one. Is there any plan to allow for tracking of budget used vs. estimated in the estimates report? Currently we can only track against how many hours are used and remaining in each project. It would be very useful to track budget used and remaining on each project and have a total budget for active projects along with how much is used and remaing to allow us to see how much active work is being done by our company. Keep up the good updates!

It has proven very helpful to us. We're still anxiously awaiting a sort option for the invoices whereby we can toggle them by ID as well as date of issue. Thanks again.

An easy way to implement might be to allow us to have more than one saved template for our invoices (currently known as our invoice "translation" in the Harvest app). If we could create two different "translations", we'd be able to customize one to look like an estimate. Of course, it would also be neat if we could take that estimate and automatically create an invoice for it later, too. I'm just getting into Harvest, but so far I am impressed. Thanks!

Also an option to edit the invoice templates would be really useful. Thanks Toby Hi Harvest,

To be honest, this is something that's only a problem due to one client over paying an invoice, and then in under-paying a second to rectify it, underpaid the underpayment -- needless to say, much confusion! In my records I've tried to be accurate in recording the money I received as payment for each invoice - so one has +$109.94, whilst the other (that I now wish to close) is down as unpaid, at -$109.94, although strictly speaking that isn't true. This is probably only a problem I'm experiencing, but 'closing' invoices was a feature in Blicksale, and would be well suited to my issues here, and I'm sure a few other scenarios too. Paul Hi Mark,
