Leaving cust id blank works as well.

Thanks for all the help.  The payments now work much better and lots faster.

To keep with the coding convention, it can be:

hyperlink_no_params("$path_to_root/sales/inquiry/customer_allocation_inquiry.php?customer_id=", _("Go to Allocation Inquiry"));

Should the hyperlink have some parameter to dictate the customer_id? If not, then we use the blank one like:

hyperlink_no_params("$path_to_root/sales/inquiry/customer_allocation_inquiry.php?customer_id=''", _("Go to Allocation Inquiry"));

The blank parameter expanded with spaces for forum display of the above will be ......customer_id='  ' "

I think that customer_id=" should be customer_id=''

hyperlink_no_params($path_to_root."/sales/inquiry/customer_allocation_inquiry.php?customer_id=", _("Go to Allocation Inquiry"));

Regarding the weird exact selection effect, I can't remember why it was leaved as it is. I'm sure there was some (more or less) important reason for implementing such behaviour, but  simply I can't remember what it was. Anyway, I agree this is annoying., and maybe this is good candidiate for improvement.

I did add the link and it is a big help.  How can I make the link go to the full list of open invoices instead of defaulting to the previous company that I just did the payment for? I know I can click to get all customers, but that is just one more step that I thought could be avoided. 

Along that sort of same idea, for some searches, for example sometimes for customers, I hit space, enter a fragment of a company name and the result says All Customers, then with I click the list is in the dropdown, it is possible  that the first company on the list comes up?  For one thing, when one does a search and the text box comes back with the All Customers it is sort of disconcerting, as if nothing was found.

Thanks for the link.

@apmuthu:
Thank you very much. Your fixes has been included for next release.

Also corrected some small typos and included extra variable / necessary comments in the config.default.php file and am attaching the diff patch from Mer 3119.

Adding link back to Customer Allocation Inquiry on final payment  screen, would be a big improvement. I sort of like links that take you right where you need to go and the default screen when you get there is set just like it is needed.

As long as your messing with Customer Allocation, it would sure be nice to be able to sort by customer or by Order number the way you have it for date.  That would add considerable usabliity for finding either a range of dates or where there are several customers with almost the same name, example University of xxxxx or 1st National xxx.

Along with this, after invoicing from delivery, it would be helpful to have a link there to either call the Customer Allocation or Customer payment so a payment could be entered against the invoice right away.

That allows us to either to run thru a batch of SO's and deliver/invoice them or immediately allocate a payment if only one order.  Just makes life easier.

Thanks,

@ed10:
Oh yes, the amount doubling is just a bug, I will fix it in next minor version (I personally work on customized FA version, and seems I've forgot to send bufix back to main sources some time ago). In mean time you can allocate payments to invoices using Allocate Payments or Customer Credit Notes page.

@kharding:
Ok, maybe this is good idea to add additional icon additinally to F# keys. I will try to add this in some next FA version.
Regarding the cash payment - this feature works just automatically when you select payment terms of cash type.

Janusz

No, not exactly. You can make all this on the single Direct Invoice form. Just enter Direct Invoice page, press F2 when you are focused on customer selector, entry new customer info and save it, then use cash payment option which registers also payment to invoice in single step.

Is there any way we can have textual or button links to these F# key functions? I use a Mac operating system primarily, or use mobile tablet devices, that do not have F keys in the Windows sense and as such have no access to these pop-ups.

And - how do you get to the "cash payment option"? I can't see any indication of how to directly access this from the Direct Invoice screen.

Do I not understand how this works or am I doing something wrong or is the increasing amount of payment by clicking all wrong?

Hope I explained my problems with this.

Wikied the rest.
