    At first I was wondering arround what biller would be. But this is (if I'm correct) the company who sends the invoice to the customer.

    If I'm correct again, this is in 95% of the cases a one company system so there will be only one biller or not?

    Why then make a menu option for this? Shouldn't it be better to put it under the options. Because its like a one time setting.

    Or am I wrong?

    Hey Frank,

    yep Biller is the company who sends the invoice

    it mainly depends on how your organisation operates, i know a few organisation that bill from numerous 'billers' - some people have a few businesses/shops running at once etc.. and require seperate billers

    personally i see multiple billers as a core feature of Simple Invoices and would prefer not to 'hide' it in the Options menu

    Cheers

    I can imagine that if you have multiple billers that you would see this. It is a very nice feature indeed, but I (and I think many other with me) don't need it (after configuring).

    Is it a good idea to have the option to hide it? Its just an idea...

    Just modify the menu by editing the file in :

    lang/yourlang_LG.menu_text.txt

    You'll be able to move it to options

    If you set your default biller as yourself, then no matter it your always in the box and you can remove any sample ones

    also you can just set the other billers as 'disabled' and they wont come up in the drop down list when creating new invoices

    cheers

    I use the biller section in two ways: 1. My business is a biller for invoices to my customers and 2. My suppliers are set up as billers so I can keep track of expenditure. For expenditure I use negative amounts for both invoice and payment.
