Account code - account name -      debit -          credit   -   Memo
4011                annual fee                               120.00   
2105                Deferred Income  120.00                           The deferred income GL posting could not be inserted

Shouldn't there be a GL posting and a 120.00 credit to negate the 120.00 debit, so that the deferred income reduces as items are delivered.

 if ($delivery->is_prepaid())
        {
                $deferred_act = get_company_pref('deferred_income_act');
                add_gl_trans(ST_CUSTDELIVERY, $delivery_no, $delivery->document_date, $deferred_act, 0, 0, 
                        "The deferred income GL posting could not be inserted",
                        -$total, null, PT_CUSTOMER, $delivery->customer_id);
        }

and to me that looks like this is just what gets entered into all prepaid items. So it's part of normal behaviour.
I would still like to know why it's worded like that. When one reads that it feels like it's an error.

Hard to tell. It has to be investigated. The $go_debug variabel should give us some clues. Please continue.

That variable was set and that's how I got the error that I posted just before your message.

EDIT: OOPS!, so I do see that the prepayment did set the Delivery date correct (I marked it as delivered on the first day of the next fiscal). And the income account does show the items going into the revenue account on the date I set (first day of the next fiscal). So that all seems to be working (I think). I'm just not understanding why I would see that message in the memo field.  Could it be designed to do that and it is working properly??? I'm not a developer and so I can't really debug this on my own.

Lines 756-759 in reporting/includes/pdf_report.inc are:

    function TextCol($c, $n, $txt, $corr=0, $r=0, $border=0, $fill=0, $link=NULL, $stretch=1)
    {
        return $this->TextWrap($this->cols[$c], $this->row - $r, $this->cols[$n] - $this->cols[$c] + $corr, $txt, $this->aligns[$c], $border, $fill, $link, $stretch);
    }

The above function has not changed in 15 years.
However in 2 places in the said file certain PHP 8.1 issues caused a change 2 years ago for the likes of:

$str = ($str != NULL ? strtr($str, array("\r"=>'')) : "");

which may have to be revisited.

The function / method TextWrap is also defined in the same file (changed for PHP 8.1, 2 years ago) whilst the function / method addTextWrap called therefrom is defined in the file reporting/includes/class.pdf.inc.

Check if there are any PHP version related changes between PHP 5 and 8.1 that cause this situation.

@joe: any clues?
