Items and Inventory
1.  A way to set default setting in (Items and Inventory > Items > New Items) like (Category:, Item Tax Type:, Item Type:, and Units of Measure:)

2.  Also in (Select an item:) (New item) it would be faster to just have a button for (Add New Item)

3.  (Supplier Purchasing Data > Price) It would nice to have a way to set Decimal Places, different for a supplier than for an Item selling price,

7. (Inquiries and Reports, Reports For Class:  Inventory, Stock Check Sheets:)  It would be nice to have a blank line right after the quantity, in the quantity column to make corrections on, when out on the floor doing an inventory count.

Banking and General Ledger
4.  Bank Account Payment Entry, at the Payment has been entered, menu.  It would be nice to have the (Enter a Deposit) link on this page, and the same with (make a payment) link on the deposit page.

6.  Reports and Analysis, Reports For Class:  General Ledger, Profit and Loss Statement: It would be nice to be able to print P&L in currency of your choice.

9.  Bank Account Payment Entry, It would be nice to have a drop down list for  (To the Order of:), and when a name is selected, a default account would show in (Account Code | Account Description)


Sales
8.  (Direct Sales Invoice:) It would be nice to have the (Delivery Details, Due Date:) default to the (Invoice Date:)

General System
5.  It would be nice to have a way to tell that something is happening when you hit one of the buttons at the bottom, like Update, Process, or Insert.  Some times it take a while to process your entry, and could be mistaken as a system hang. The browser shows no indication that anything is happening.

I would like to have a way to look at the Bank Statement without the voided transactions. 

Maybe a filter that would not show enters with an amount of 0.00?

Can they be removed at some point?

Thanks,

AM

I have just gotten word back from tech support on this issue (see bellow)  I could also send you a copy of the php.ini file, if that would help.

Please let me know what you think, thanks, AM

Dear Alvin Martin,

Thanks for using our services.

I've just checked your issue and it seems to be a coding issue. Because it seems your php application cannot read full pdf file and therefore showing error message. Please try to contact with your developers and ask them to check this from their end and if something need to be changed in php configuration, you can edit php.ini file, which located inside your cgi-bin folder.

Should you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us anytime, we are available 24/7.
Kind regards,

Alex Karamushko

OK I am back today, with problems, my error is back,  After a script reload I was able to print a report fine, that was it, back to the error, the reports are generated just fine and stored in the company pdf folder, they are good files, as I can go get them manually,

I have tried this with FF, IE, and two different computers, the result is the same.

What do you think I should try here?

I reloaded the reporting folder and got the Rep303, and Rep301 sorted out

But I still get the (The file is damaged and could not be repaired) message, but I do not get it on your demo, or on my local using wamp5.

Could there be something with my host?

I get this message from acrobat, when I try to print a report in Reports and Analysis, Stock Check Sheets. Your demo http://fa2.iron.from.pl/ works fine, However when I use the demo it uses Rep303, and when I use the same report on my system, it uses Rep301
What do you think my problem is?

I have loaded the latest code, but maybe I messed something?

Take a look at openbravoPOS, It will run stand alone. I to will need pos one day, but we will need to get some java development on it to make it a module for fa,  If you do a search on this forum for pos, you will find others who need this module, In time we will have enough users who want this module done to pool some development money together to get this done. Stay tuned

Hello btsui

I use a cvs client called smartcvs to get the latest from the cvs repository. Access Method: pserver, User Name: anonymous, Server Name: frontaccounting.cvs.sourceforge.net. Repository Path: /cvsroot/frontaccounting

Make sure to go to Tag/Branch > Tag Browser, and set to, Head > unstable, for the latest code.

There is a lot of help on doing this, just google it.

OK, so I want to enter a beginning balance, for this the money comes from bank USD and goes into bank GTQ.

Even in bank deposits, the money has to come from somewhere?  If I use the transfer method, It still shows in the bank GTQ as USD, how do I get bank GTQ to show the transaction in the right currency?

When I do a bank account reconciliation, I will need to display the the same currency as the bank statement is in.

Hi Alvin,

I don't know java enough to help integrate an openbravo with FA. I personally have bad experience with java ERP applications which seems to be slow, stiff and very time consuming at development stage. Often also simply buggy.
But I wll look into openBravo in mean time, maybe this is not the case wink.

Hello Janusz

Sorry it has taken me so long to get back to the forum.

I want to make clear that it is openbravoPOS we are interested in, not openbravo the erp system.

I think a bit of java code will be needed to communicate between FA and peripherals like bar code scanners, scales for weighting products, cash drawers, magnetic card readers, receipt printers, etc.

A link to there features http://www.openbravo.com/product/pos/product-features/

This is were we need to use openbravoPOS, check it out at sorceforge.

I am willing to contribute some donations for this. We will need to find a java developer to help make it a module for FA.

Let me know what you think?

There are two java pos programs we could use, synPOS and openbravoPOS.

synpos, has a connector for weberp that might not be to hard to modify. I talked to one of the developers (andres amaya diaz) and he said that openbravo would be the best to use.

Both these programs can be downloaded from sorceforge and run stand alone, for anyone who would like to try them.  Ether way we will need to have some development work done on them.

I see there is no AR in Items.

The problem here is the post to the Sales Account.  My sales for both locations will get dumped into the same Sales account according to the sales account set in Items.

This means I will need to go to GL once a month and split out the sales and repost to the correct Sales accounts, a job I do not want.

I need an empty db as well, but I do not want to start over.

What I need to do is export my db, chart of accounts, company info, customers, branches, etc. leaving behind all transactions that are part of the test install.  An export feature that would do this.

What do you think?

I would also like to setup my training co. with the same chart of accounts, company info, customers, branches, etc. so that the people I work with could try things, and not effect the production file.


If we had a script that would take the 1_ table prefix and chance it to 0_ then maybe I could just replace that part or the db in my production file.  As things change in the company file, you may want to do this procedure once in awhile.

What do you think?

Regards, Alvin
