Simply Invoices

If you track your time in Tick or Harvest you can now create invoices from the time you’ve logged in those applications.

I’m really excited to now offer integration with four different time tracking applications (Basecamp, More Honey, Tick and Harvest). Please let me know ASAP if you have any problems with the new integrations.

Enjoy!

You’ve always been able to create invoices from the time you have logged in Basecamp with Simply Invoices. As of today, you can now create invoices from the time and expenses you have logged in Get More Honey. Get More Honey is a fairly new service for tracking time and expenses and keeps it very simple. The two services are a great fit. Get More Honey is currently free, so give it a try.

By far the most popular request was that I add fixed price line items to invoices. This is now available. Here’s an example invoice:

Please send any and all feedback to me via email, campfire or the support tab.

What’s next? Integration with getmorehoney.com. My original plan was always to add support for importing time from other time tracking apps. I’m excited to finally be doing that. Expect updates on that within a couple weeks.

Many thanks to Андрей Руденко for providing me with a Russian translation. You may now create invoices in Russian and with the руб currency.

Also in this update is the ability to edit the invoice number by hand. Editing the invoice number only changes the invoice number for that invoice, it does not effect the incrementing counter for the invoice template.

Both of these changes were driven by users. Please do email me or stop by the chat room if you can provide a translation, have a feature request, a support issue or just want to chat.

Simply Invoices version 1.3 is now running. What’s the biggest change? Invoice templates now allow you to choose a language for the invoice. Available options are English, Spanish, German and French.

Thanks to Carmen Ruiz of motiongrafixs for help with the Spanish translation and Norman Janssen of mediacode for help with the German translation. I couldn’t round up a volunteer for the French translation, so Google gets credit for that.

Pleaselet me know about errors in the translations.

Also in this release is support for a tax rate in the invoice template. Carmen pointed out that this is inadequate for a lot of European customers needing to charge multiple tax rates. I hope to add custom tax fields in an upcoming release.

This release also fixes a bug in the image upload process. Some of you may have noticed that your images weren’t being sized correctly. That has been fixed.

Enjoy!

What’s next? A lot of people have been requesting fixed priced line items and the ability to charge per day instead of per hour. I hope to update the invoice editor to allow more flexibility. The hard part will be keeping everything simple :) I don’t yet have an estimated date for this release. Feel free to drop into the Campfire chat and ask me for status.
