thanks for your work!
I would give to you a suggestion. The customer portal is really a great service for a lot of company, but unfortunately not so much ready for the real use.
Thanks again
Stefano
Hi Stefano,
We are working on improving customer portal too. Please bear with us meanwhile.

With regards to the “Duplicate Records Handling”, does the matching only work on exact company name matches? Or is there some fuzzy matching going on?
Hi,
This looks great !
For “Duplicate Records Handling” this should be great if we could only search for duplicate if the value is not null and not blank
Good job !
Hi John,
If you are searching for duplicates in accounts module, then duplicates displayed are depends on exact company name. If you are finding duplicates from some other module (contacts), then duplicates displayed are uniquely depends on the company but not the name.

1)I may seem looping thru the issue, but…
Quotes & SO snapshots.
I ´ve changed items qty in a quote and it´s not reflected in history even the quote changed.
2)In account details I see products with a price , but it doesn´t reflect the price charged but current price
more on short time…
Hi!
Perfect!
Very good work!
Very useful features!
Please could you plan to add a comment field to comment the calendar events once you have completed it!
PLEASE!
See you around!

Hi it would be nice to integrate important add ons that are lying around and are getting lost in the forums, for example,
- calendar patches (ical export, pda export, color enhancements, etc(
- project management
- tsolutions enhancements
- asterisk integration
don’t forget webmail features and usability, email ticketing system, and the PLUGIN or MODULE system *the most important one*
Anyway it’s nice that the work is getting done, that you take the time to present the new features in an organized fashion, so kudos for that
hope the best!
Don’t give up, we all have some
Hi,
What about the PDF support of LTR languages (farsi, hebrew, arabic)?
Hi guyp,
We are planning to upgrade the version of tcpdf library that we are using as they has been better support for LTR languages with newer version of tcpdf. We will try our best to achieve this. Please bear with us and we hope for the best.
Hello,

Congrats for your good work. Really good work and nice features.
Nice feature, thanks!
Good work with all the new stuff. Pleeeaaaaseee add also the feature where a contact can have multiple accounts. Some of the contacts that we have possess different companies and they have the same position. So we need to associate a contact with multiple accounts.
Thanks in advance. Keep goin’
How do i customise the quote section such that the quote can appear in the arrangement that i would like it to be?
I am running version 5.

Hia,
Great work on vTiger - you guys are doing such a good job, I’ve been so impressed with it so far. I’ve looked around at other Open Source CRM and none of them look as good as vTiger in my opinion.
I’m really looking forward to 5.1 as one of my clients needs multi-currency support. Look forward to downloading an advanced copy once the sources have been merged into the 5.1 branch.
All the best and again, much appreciate the good work!
Cheers,
Chris.

Maybe, stock module is a must.
Hi, i need custom fields in notes, do you plan include this feature in the next release?
Thanks and congratulations is a excelente work.
Please add the ability to convert inbound email to tickets.
Hi Guys,
Any update on 5.1.

Hi.
I red the PDF about custom fields in emails template but I would like to add it in my 5.0.4. How could I do? Which source should I have? Which file?
Regards.
Hi,
I really like “User Configurable ID for SO/PO/Quotes”, auto generating quote number is exactly what I need and missing in the Vtiger. When can we expect IT in new release?
Good work!
Jan

Have you plans to generate SAFT?
In All europe will be mandatory to all invoice sistems to have it.
In Portugal is mandatory since 01-01-2008
Thanks
Luis,
Could you explain what SAFT is or give a link please ?
David V.
Auto generating quote number is exactly what I need. It’s very welcome!
Hi, I think this is a good work.
One little thing, can you insert some (5/6) field discount?
My idea is insert these field in pricebook. So when I select a product in quote/order, I have automatically the price and the discounts associated with the product.
Ops I forget a thing: pricebook and discont could be two different module and for each pricebook and discount record I can insert two date the begin date and the end date.
Thanks
David,
In regards to Luis SAF-T question:
By next year, all accounting software packages are required to include a SAF-T (Standard Audit File for Tax Purposes). SAFT-T is a standard for audit purposes established by the OECD.
A Standard Audit File is the recording of key business information (transactions and ledger postings) into a file in a specified common format for audit purposes.
Guidance for the Standard Audit File - Tax (SAF-T):
