Default Re: Money 2007 Business Section

I saw the same issues in Money 2004 Business, so I continued using my
previous invoicing system. I've never seen anyone suggest that invoicing has
improved since then, and you're confirming that carries through to 2007.

Default Money 2007 Business Section

A couple things I found in the Money 2007 business section that cause
definite problems.

1. When invoicing, there's no way to include the date that the time took
place on the invoice. So there is no way to show your client what date the
service you're billing them for took place. There is no report in the system
that displays the time data with the date, so it can't be exported or
reported on either. This seems like an obvious flaw, but evidently it's OK
since it was the same in 2006. That makes it correct, so it won't be fixed
(per MS).

2. When invoicing time that has descriptions, the invoice reserves about
double the space of the description. So if you have a description that's
about 3-4 lines on the invoice, the report reserves an extra 3-4 lines after
it when printed. This turns what should be a single page invoice into
multiple pages for no reason. The invoice looks great if you have no
descriptions or very short ones, but time entries typically need description
to detail what you did for the client. Again, MS doesn't consider this a bug.

Am I the only one that uses the business section? It seems excellent minus
these two things that render it completely useless for me.
