A comment on the question "Employees can access everything?" in FreeAgent Central:
I only just saw this response, spam filter must have munched the alert. Ed and team, FA is fantastic software, am really enjoying using it, as a software dev myself I can really tip my hat to this product. – Demian Turner, on November 11, 2008 00:11

I'm a sole trader at the minute, but that may change in the (near or maybe far) future. At present, I work with another sole trader who gets a lot of sales for me, and does project management with the client. We have a Blinksale account, and him and I can both add invoices, add payment dates etc. Which takes that away from my workload.
However, with the current permissions in FAC, if I gave him "employee" access, then he'd be able to see all of my financials, which isn't something I'd be comfortable with (cos he'd see how often I buy diamond shoes and bars of gold!! ;o) ). For me, the permissions could be simplified on a user-to-user basis, using the top nav of FAC as the basis.
So, for example, an employee/associate/whatever would have access to:
Home, Contacts, Projects, Time, Invoices, Expenses
Leaving the more sensitive aspects of the app to those with more access rights.
As a web designer/developer myself, I know that this is no small change, but it's certainly something that would not only benefit a lot of existing users, but could be a real selling point for new customers too, in turn making FAC suitable for more than just small businesses & freelancers.

Getting a solution which is simple and also works for everyone is rather tricky.
The only option I can see -- without resorting to using macros in references -- for supporting your specific numbering scheme would be to allow you to explicitly define a suffix in your settings which gets stored with each invoice separate to the reference, but is displayed as if it was part of the reference itself in the GUI and on your invoices. As you might imagine this is more than a small change and adds another level of complexity to our invoice numbering.
Whilst I don't want to rule it out completely, I don't think we'll be able to support this in the short term, unless of course it becomes our number one most requested feature!

Locked bills won't show attachmentsI set up a bill and attach a copy of the invoice from my supplier. I pay the bill. Now it is locked and I can't open the attached file. Is this right?

Yes - see below.
A company must display its name:
* at its registered office and at the place where it keeps its company records for inspection. From 1 October 2008 this requirement will not apply to a dormant company if it has at all times since its incorporation been dormant i.e. it has “no significant accounting transactions” during a financial year or entries in the company's accounting records. Please refer to our Dormant Companies’ guidance at www.companieshouse.gov.uk;
* at any other place at which it carries on business. From 1 October 2008 this requirement will not apply if the location is used primarily for living accommodation, for example, if it is the director’s home;
* on all its business correspondence and documentation (in hard copy, electronic or any other form), including:
- the company's business letters and order forms;
- bills of exchange, promissory notes, endorsements, cheques and orders for money or goods purporting to be signed by, or on behalf of, the company;
- bills of parcels, invoices , receipts and letters of credit; and
- its websites.

I would be very happy just to have pages optimised for the iPhone.
I also use Backpack ( http://www.backpackit.com/ ) and some clever person came up with iBackpack ( http://violetpixel.com/ibp/ ). Something like that would do it for me.
