I started working on full credit note support a while ago. Other than
some polishing this support is mostly complete. You can now create
credit notes just like you create invoices for both vendors and
customers. Credit notes can be refunded or used to "pay" (part of) an
invoice.
I have one more part to finish that I need some feedback on: GnuCash' UI
often refers to Invoices and Bills, like in "Find Invoice...", "New
Bill...", the tab, dialog and window titles and so on. In may cases
these descriptions are deceiving with tne new credit note support. For
example: New Invoice... allows you to create either an invoice or a
credit note. So in many cases "invoice" needs to be replaced by
something that covers both invoices and credit notes.
I thought of "Sales Document" and "Purchase Document". That would give
"New Sales Document...", "Find Purchase Document..." and so on, but
those are very long terms. Especially in tab titles this makes the tabs
very wide.
I could make separate menu items for "New Invoice..." and "New Credit
Note...", but I don't want to do that really. There are already too many
menu items in my opinion. And that doesn't solve the issue there still
is with Invoice for Customers, Bill for Vendors and Credit Note for
both. Using "Vendor Credit Note" in a tab title is equally bad as
"Purchase Document" in tab titles.
So the challenge here is to come up with good names for the menu items
and tabs, while remaining user (interface) friendly.
Anyone who's good with words, can you voice your opinions here please ?
Thanks,
Geert
