Another question please:
can user add expense on front end? And can add it by choose the user that have to pay this expense? Sometimes i pay some expense of my customer and after i ask the amount paid to my customer by add it on the invoice. (this is the typical case where i add the amount of expense paid in the invoice without calculate TAX and VAT on this amount). So it would be very useful insert the user recipient when you add an expense so to put it automatically in the next invoice that i create for him.

Hello Francesco,

We will consider your suggestion.
About your question, I'm not sure to understand you. You want to set the user that is assigned to the expense when creating the invoice from Invoice Manager or you want to set the user from Expense Manager?

I am assuming from your question that you want to use the integration extension between Invoice Manager and Expense Manager.

On the Expense Manager backend, you can set the expense user, but not from the front end.

OK i explain my scenario on my office (but a lot of offices work in this way here).

First, please consider to add front end edition about invoice manager (ACL who can create, edit and or delete invoice, create, edit and delete products, create, edit and delete taxes...). Also add front end edition with ACL who can create, edit and delete expenses.

Ok now i explain my scenario:

There are 2 kind of expense: expense of my office (in this case no need to create invoice for that but only track) and expense that i pay on behalf of a client (so generate invoice for that to ask him and track too).
So my coworkers add expense (on front end) and when he does that choose if this expense is of my office or on behalf of a client and in this case he have to select the client to assign that expense. In the second case user choose if that expense have to be added on invoice and if apply or not VAT and or local tax to the amount of this expense. If user set to add to the invoice another coworker create invoice for that customer and he will find already the expenses created (by expense manager). In this moment the user creating invoice can confirm the expense on the invoice or simply don't insert (in this case expense manager have to mark that expense like already asked to the customer so to don't propose it again the next invoice).
Please consider that usually the taxes don't consider the amounty of expenses because they are taxed already.
So if you allow this scenario on front end i want purchase the plan IM + EM + CS extended version.
I hope it's clearer now.
Waiting for your considerations.
Best regards

Hello,

As mentioned before, this is not possible in current EM + IM extensions. You asked this before I believe.. We already mentioned that there's no "local tax" configuration the way you explain it.
Besides of the local tax thing, also the integration you're requesting between EM and IM is not there (we have an integration but it works the other way around, that is, IM to EM, not EM to IM)
Also assigning expenses to users can be done only through the backend, not the frontend.

Thanks,

Here there is a misunderstanding. When i talk about local tax i refer to the tax calculate on group 2 like IM does already.
Here i only ask to set an option to calculate or don't VAT and/or other tax (on group 2) on the amount of the expense. I ask also front end feature as i suggested you.
And for the last why you don't think to integrate EM to IM in the sense i suggested you? It is so powerfull and also logical too.
As i told you before in my country often the expenses aren't considered on tax calculation.
I hope you'll consider it really. I would like a lot use your components but right now i cannot.
Best regards

Every day we support expences for us and on behalf of my customers. In the way i suggested you we can assign expenses to a specific customer so to prepare the next invoice content.

thanks for your insights.
there are no plans to build this at the moment.

I only suggest you to improve your components. When and if you add these features i'll be happy to purchase your components.
Best regards
