Creating reminders

With todays update reminders are available in SalesKing. Reminders are created from existing invoices. The Link for that is placed in the details of the invoices.

Invoice sidebar - Reminder

Within the reminder settings you can access three reminder-steps where you can define for each step the due-date, the title, the pre and after text and the reminder-fee. If you do not wish to set a reminder-fee, for example for the first friendly reminder just do not fill the field.

Details Payment Reminder

The Details oft the reminder do not differ to invoices, credit notes etc. on first sight. But in the Template you can easily see the differences because there are no to which taxes, no quantity or reductions. The Reminder just has two blocks: first the invoice-data the reminder is tied to and the reminder-fee, if setted.

With your own pdf-templates you are able to modify your reminder for example you can show your client the next official steps when creating the third reminder.

Reminder, products, languages

What is going on with “This week at SalesKing”

We decided to choose striking head-lines to match our goal to provide our RSS-Feed-Subscribers and, of course google a better view on our news. The articles are and will be tagged with weekly-news.

Last two weeks we did not do nothing. As always we fixed a few little bugs, but we focused on reminders, products and languages.

Reminders

The from many users desired feature reminders is just a little step away of being released. Little Sneak-Preview:

Sneak-Preview Reminder List

Reminders do, of course have own pdf-templates as you know from estimates and invoices. More details we do provide with the release.

Products

As we mentioned before, in near Future it will be possible to publish your own products. This is not as easy as it sounds because it needs other formatting and the ability to order things. Who now has got e-commerce in his head is not on the wrong way. The challenge for us is to keep the system as easy as possible, because the use-case are mini-shops or service-distributors as we are.

Languages

From the beginning we wanted to be able to run the SalesKing in different languages. That is also why we decided to use the .eu-Domain. Until yet it was problematic that translation just had been possible by using gettext. With the implementation of a new translation-format we came very close to our goal to provide online-translations in the browser. While switching to the new format it is now time to retype all of the strings in the code, to clean-up the language-files and to reorganize something about 3000 translations.

Sounds like lot of work? …. It definitely is and that is why we are sorry that we cannot give fix informations of release-date.
