How to disable "Reference" for invoice

dummy@example.com (oswall) — Thu, 17 May 2012 18:25:15 +0000

Regards,
I use FA 2.3.8 with ubuntu linux server, and 3 PCs in network lan.
I have a problem with the "Reference" number created by FA.
When two or more users on different PCs trying to create an invoice, FA creates the same reference number for all.
As FA indicates the "reference" number is being used by another.
I activated the invoice number in config.php instead of the reference.
But the number of reference remains a problem.
You can disable the reference number of FA?.

Need enhancement to rep-check-print extension

dummy@example.com (kenwebale) — Thu, 17 May 2012 09:28:24 +0000

We are interested in using the rep-check-print version 2.3.0-1 extension for Front Accounting. One of the requirements for this capability is to assign a numbering system. The current extension assumes that the checks will be pre-printed with bank routing, account number and check number. Request a quote to add the capability to optionally add a bank routing number, account number and check number with a beginning check number that increments by one each time a check is printed capability along with a configuration item to assign the beginning number.

if there is interest in this project, request a resume, and estimated time needed to accomplish task.

Thanks,

Purchase order/ orden de Compra

dummy@example.com (kenwebale) — Thu, 17 May 2012 07:55:25 +0000

On the purchase order I need to prices. Please help
The reason is because;
Price 1 is the price the vendor sells to us
Price 2 is the price input on the purchase order for accounting records, and the final price that the goods cost us this is because we add to the cost shipping charges, import tax duties, custom agent charges.

Basically what I need is to show price 1 on the purchase order I send the vendor, and for accounting record used price 2.

Can this be done

Bank Charge with Foreign currency payment

dummy@example.com (kkiosk) — Wed, 16 May 2012 09:58:37 +0000

Entered a customer payment into bank account(foreign) with bank charge also in that currency.

Journal entries posted were correct, which were converted to default currency.

If viewed in bank account inquiry, the amount posted somewhat looks like paid amount(converted to local)+bank charge(still in foreign), which is wrong and inaccurate.

How to make new language .po and .mo files

dummy@example.com (itronics) — Tue, 15 May 2012 20:17:00 +0000

I have been trying out FA for a small hotel in Nicaragua (in Ubuntu 11.10). As it is a requirement here that the accounts be in Spanish, I tried first the Mexican version, but as the translation was quite bad, I changed to the Argentinian one, which turns out to be much better. I have worked with that one and made changes and additions to the translation with POedit. I had a lot of difficulties getting the language to actually change, so I had to make Argentinian Spanish the default locale to make it work, but that creates a series of problems for my other programmes (plus that there are idiomatic differences too). I would therefore like to contribute with a Nicaraguan version of the translation (es_NI), but I am not sure how I can do that based on the Argentinian version (es_AR). I found out, I can't simply change the name of the .po file, but the link on the FA website explaining how to proceed seems to be broken. Could you give me a link to an explanation on how to contribute with a new translation based on a similar one?

The directory structure needs to be more professional and needs customization.

Translation portal

dummy@example.com (itronics) — Sun, 13 May 2012 20:39:45 +0000

FA needs some official online translation portal - where translators can easly and online update the languages - and developers can add them to official package.

I made special account some times ago to Launchpad and it was fine - but now is there problem to get new strings in - it doesn't update any more.

TIPS. How to Update existing translations after new releases ...

dummy@example.com (thorbjornw) — Sun, 13 May 2012 20:18:14 +0000

You can merge your existing .po file with the empty.po (from the new release) file with msgmerge.

Or, if you are using poEdit, you can load your .po file and select 'Catalog', 'Update from pot-file'. Select All files as filter and navigate to the empty.po file and select this one.
Now the merge will take place and you see all your new strings. Translate the new strings and save your work. The .mo file is created when you save.

That is all there is

/Joe
BTW. Please share the new files with us.

Dear Admin,

I'm installing FrontAccounting Release 2.3.10 at Win 7 - 64bit OS.

A problem occured when i clicked : Setup - Install/Update Languages

The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading... "

So then Im editing "installed_languages.inc" :
$installed_languages = array (
0 =>
array (
'code' => 'C',
'name' => 'English',
'encoding' => 'iso-8859-1',
),
array (
'code' => 'N',

'encoding' => 'iso-8859-1',
'path' => 'lang/in_ID'
),
);

And adding new directory /lang/in_ID/ (consists of in_ID.mo & in_ID.po)

But still cannot update my language to Indonesian.

Hope you can help me, thanks alot !!

replacing 'cost of goods sold method'

dummy@example.com (joe) — Sun, 13 May 2012 14:26:18 +0000

Hi!

First of all: Congratulation for more than 100,000 downloads!!
I think, this demonstrates quality of FA and the work, that you guys have done. A big thank you!

Well, our current problem: we'll use the 'nature of extense method' instead of the 'cost of goods sold method'.
So, I wonder, if we could get it working simply by smart configuration of the accounts (cogs, inventory, inventory adjustment) or if we have to crawl and struggle through the code to disable gl-bookings.
And, if so, are there special function-calls we have to look for or do we need to inspect every program, which is involved: purchase: grn, invoice, credit notes, more? sales: invoice, credit note, more? inventory: inventory adjustments, more? manufacturing: ?, etc.
