I'm a newbie to FA and just installed version 2.4.17 on Debian 12.
I've tried two different sets of COA's - British and South African. (no customisation of FA)
(I'm not an accountant - just a tech trying to set up an Accounting system for my SMB)
My question is:
What am I not setting up correctly in FA for the following to occur:
Accounts Payable:
I place order with supplier, receive the items, process supplier invoice and finally do bank payment.
Instead of payment being deducted from bank, it is added.
Accounts Receivable:
Process customer quote, sales order, delivery, invoice and finally customer payment.
Instead of money "added to the bank", the customer's payment is deducted.

No changes made to the COA's - only a journal to add money to the bank, added stock item, client and supplier.

Thanks a million for any advice/assistance offered.

Thank you all for frontaccounting!
I have used a commercial dutch accounting product for the past 30+ years, so forgive me that I am looking for solutions for the things I did the past 30 years.

Short version: How can I place one incoming invoice into two or more periods?

Long version:
Suppose at January 1st, I get an incoming invoice for an insurance for the first three months of the upcoming year. I would like to book 1/3 of the amount without vat in each of the three first months.

In my current commercial product, this makes 5 journal entries in the incoming invoice:
- accounts payable 108.90, period 2024-01
- vat on purchase 18.90, period 2024-01
- insurancecosts 30.00, period 2024-01
- insurancecosts 30.00, period 2024-02
- insurancecosts 30.00, period 2024-03

My current product allows me to enter a period for each journal entry. I can't seem to find how to handle this in frontaccounting so I can spread the costs on one invoice over the three months.

Thank you all for your time and suggestion.

Kind regards

Has anyone else faced this issue.

How to rescue this?

The 3rd arugment is 0 but it should be $supp_trans->tax_group_id. Therefore it should be look like

 $line_tax = get_full_price_for_item($entered_grn->item_code,
            $entered_grn->this_quantity_inv * $entered_grn->chg_price, $supp_trans->tax_group_id, $supp_trans->tax_included) - $taxfree_line;

Otherwise the unit_tax is not calcuated correctly because

finally the function get_tax_group_rates is not reurning the rates to calculated the full_price_of_item() on above mentioned line.

The reason why we want to change is that the default payment is "Delayed" and we do not want to always change it to our bank account every time we do processing the Direct Purchase Invoice Entry.

In Supplier Balances  Debit is 565,000 and Credit is 200,000 and Balance is 365,000
In Supplier Trial Balances Debit is 200,000 and Credit is 565,000 and balance is -365,000

plz any one guild me why both report can't match

In purchasing/includes/purchasing_db.inc the below function call on Line # 200 the third last argument true is additional I think

$inv->add_grn_to_trans($line->grn_item_id, $line->po_detail_rec, $line->stock_id,
            $line->item_description, $line->receive_qty, 0, $line->receive_qty,
            $line->price, $line->price, true, get_unit_cost($line->stock_id), '');

function add_grn_to_trans($grn_item_id, $po_detail_item, $item_code, $item_description, 
        $qty_recd, $prev_quantity_inv, $this_quantity_inv, $order_price, $chg_price, 
        $std_cost_unit=null, $gl_code='')
    {
        $this->grn_items[$grn_item_id] = new grn_item($grn_item_id, $po_detail_item, 
            $item_code, $item_description, $qty_recd, $prev_quantity_inv, $this_quantity_inv, 
            $order_price, $chg_price, $std_cost_unit, $gl_code, $this->tax_included);

        $this->src_docs = find_src_invoices($this);

        unset($this->tax_overrides); // cancel tax overrides after cart change
        return 1;
    }

There are so many options for the description field, so we have to get the po line description
held together with the Purchase Order.

Otherwise all other stuff is handled as before.

FA is backward Compatible with this, so there should not be any problems with printing older
Purchase Orders.

At the same time, we have re-established the option to enter fractions of the purchase price.
Up to 6 decimals can be entered, if needed. But only use this if needed.

@apmuthu.
Will you check the Wiki and try to update this.

Due to this and other bug fixes we will soon make a minor upgrade.

How do we indicate these discounts received?

I cannot add the received item to the invoice.
With debugging on it gives an error (some in dutch language):

Onbehandelde uitzondering [0]: Unsupported operand types: string - string. in bestand: /var/www/home.vogelnestje.nl/secure1/frontaccountingTst/purchasing/supplier_invoice.php op regel288

On this line the variable called

$_POST['prev_quantity_inv'.$n]

As the item has no inventory (it is a general cost for the compay), the above variable is empty and the error is raised.
I solved this by adding a check on the empty variable by changing the line to:

if ($SysPrefs->check_qty_charged_vs_del_qty == true && ($_POST['qty_recd'.$n] != $_POST['prev_quantity_inv'.$n]) && !empty($_POST['prev_quantity_inv'.$n]) )

Now I can change the invoice as expected.

I tested this on 2.14, from the GIT (https://sourceforge.net/p/frontaccounting/git/ci/master/tree/)
Is there a moderator who can add this to the source of FA?
Or am I allowed to do this myself?

No 2:
When Supplier Credit Note is Created Directly then it is taking the Reference of Supplier Credit Not but when it is created by clicking the Credit Icon in Supplier Transaction Inquiry against any Supplier Inovice then it is taking the Next Reference from Supplier Invoice.

    $stock_id = $entered_grn->item_code;
    $stock_gl_code = get_stock_gl_code($stock_id);

And the previous one already exist. to handle further gl codes.
