New Feature: Member Coefficient

We are introducing a new feature to Receipt Ninja for Android: the member coefficient.  Each member now has a coefficient with default value of one. The coefficient allows the member to represent a sub-group such as a couple (coefficient is 2) or a family (coefficient is the number of family members).

New Feature: Inactive Members

Receipt Ninja for Android 2.0.1 has just been launched with a new feature: inactive members. You can now set members as active or inactive by editing them in settings. Once a member is set as inactive, he/she won't be included for future splits. This may happen when some members leave the group but they had shared expenses with others.

Tips for advance/cash/partial payments, etc.

Recently, we received many users' requests to add the options to make advance/cash/partial payments to offset balances. You can actually do this with the current version of the app. Here are some scenarios:

Let's say we have 3 people A, B, C in the group.

1. A makes an advance payment of $100 before the trip:
    a) Create a new receipt with $100;
    b) Add a new category called "Advance Payment" or whatever you like;
    c) Choose A as the payer and share "evenly";
    d) Save the receipt.

2. During the trip, one day B wants to clear his debits ($30) with C:
    a) Create a new receipt with $30;
    b) Add a new category called "Cash Payment" or whatever you like;
    c) Choose B as the payer and share "unevenly" with C only;
    d) Save the receipt.

Basically, you can make any kinds of payments to offset the balances using the even/unevenly splits.

Let us know if this solves your expense splitting problems:)
