What did you end up recommending?
I'm still leaning Invoice Ninja...still configuring it to be as close to our paper tickets as we can get it...
Didn't you have to submit the proposal already?
They have backed off a little especially since I've been needed every which way but loose on "Gremlin" issues yesterday and today...

It's nice when they give you some extra time - Gremlins are pain,..but the best ones are the internet issues like Level3 and TWC... Pass the buck,.. take a break... (yea,.. that THAT happens)

Invoice Ninja is off the radar...they wanted a little more robust reporting, or at least a neater "dump" that what it does...continuing my research.

What about dumping into Excel and making your own reports?

Always an option but they wanted the invoice users to be able to just run a report, print and go...I'd have to design an Excel Report to import the dump from Invoice Ninja...they wanted to clear my plate some...
But yes, that IS an option if I don't find anything else... -
You COULD make your own web reporting with it, as it is open. But that would be more of a pain. But certainly an option.

We just released a PHP SDK which would enable you to easily load their data to generate custom reports.
https://github.com/invoiceninja/sdk-php
We're also working on a marketplace which would enable you to share/sell your report with other users.

You will find almost no software that does what you want, like you want out of the box.
Reporting is honestly one of the "must customize" pieces of pretty much all accounting systems.

That's awesome. So glad to see Invoice Ninja jumping in here! Welcome to the community.

@Minion-Queen Thanks, how do I go about getting a vendor tag?
-
In the bar above go to groups (the group of people)
choose vendor
and the green box join group on the left hand side
And one of my team will approve it. That's it!

Update...
None of the solutions we tried (Invoice Ninja or Zoho) were good enough for the office manager. So they went ahead and looked at a developer. Couldn't do it fast enough and too expensive.
So almost full circle, they've contacted the person (retired, 72 year old man) who had my job before me since his background was Microsoft Office Development (VBA) to see if he can develop this. He called me and he politely sounded disinterested and wants to call this a collaboration project. And he wants to try to do this with Microsoft Office. He is old school. So it looks like this may be in Access.
So it is more or less back in my lap. And finally, management is showing interest to send me to some classes. But not sure where to start on classes.

@garak0410 Sorry to hear our app didn't work for you.
If you let us know what was missing we'll try to help.

Don't use "old school" as a code name for incompetent. Using Access was just as bad twenty years ago as it is today. They wouldn't call him "old school" back then, he would have been dead weight long ago, too. Things haven't really changed. It's too common to conflate "the old way" with "being wrong", but that's not the case. It just seems old because people who try to do it today say "I used to do it that way, what's wrong with it", but that doesn't imply that it was good when they did it before, either.
