No hard feelings, barney.
It is just that we don't have the resources to help you with accountancy matters.

As I said before this is a matter of accountancy, so please consult an accountant.

Due to some nasty bugs in release 2.3.8 regarding output buffering and incompatible static Session Manager you are kindly asked to update to release 2.3.9.

The package is located at Sourceforge .

This is very simple. Just overwrite your existing 2.3.7 or 2.3.8 installation and you are done.

HI,

This is not a problem for service items. Just put the Purchase account on the supplier and it will be used.
If you want to use a purchase account instead of the Inventory account, you will not be able to monitor your inventory and this can be a disaster. At least you should know what happens if you do. Eventually contact an Accountant.
FA is very flexible in setting up your items/suppliers/customers accounts.

In the folder /sql there is 2 scripts. en_US-new.sql (for a new company) and en_US-demo.sql (for a demo/drill company).

Use an editor to search and replace the above.

Use phpMyAdmin to import one of these scripts to your created database.

Then you should be able to login (admin - password) and run FA.

Newer versions of MySQL seems to not accept 'TYPE=' any more. Please replace 'TYPE=' to 'ENGINE=' in your sql script used for install.

We would not recommend this. FrontAccounting is using transactions to handle the multi-user environment. If using myisam for the tables that should be innodb, we loose the ability to have multi-user operation.
I would recommend you to move to another hosting service.

Is this blank page arising during the install?

Instead of waiting for the next release, please try to help us fixing this problem. In our development environments we cannot reproduce this error.
Therefore it is mandatory that you help us trying to find the problem.

We have explained how to trace the bug, if the install has finished and the program is starting in the following thread:

https://frontaccounting.com/punbb/viewtopic.php?id=2523

But if the blank page arise during the install phase, then we would have to examine the /install/isession.inc file.

FA goes backwards to see if the balance of the cash account per the transactiondate would be negative.
You can either use a later date or use todays date for the transaction (if you know it is positive).

FA can only handle 1 automatic serie, like A-0001-00005632. If you want more series, you will have to keep track of each individual serie, because FA will only update the last used serie.

Try the following to help us trace ev. bug.

Go into file /includes/session.inc.

1. Comment out line 297 and 298 by setting // in front of the lines. Save and try again. If you are still having problem, we should try to find the problem elsewhere and you can stop trace the Session Manager. Otherwise continue.
2. Take away the comment signs in line 297 and 298. Comment out line 37 and line 43. If you are still having problem,
uncomment the lines and try to comment out other member function calls. Sooner or later you should trace the problem.

Good luck.

This is strange. We solved a lot of problems when making the class Session Manager non-static in /includes/session.inc.
But some of you still report the same problem after the fix.
Can anyone help tracing these errors, please?

There is a work around for doing this in FA. However I am not sure your local legislation allows this. Please check for yourself.

Create an Item Tax Type, call it Tax Free or so. Let it be tax éxempt for all taxes.
Create a service item, Name it f.i. Rounding. Put the newly created Item Tax Type on this service item.

When you are doing the invoice and see that the total needs rounding, enter a Rounding item. If the total was 27999.97 and you want 28000.00 then enter a price of 0.03. Remember that FA allows negative amounts for service items, so it should also be possible to round downwards to 27999.00 by entering a price of -0.97.

While the Rounding service item is tax exempt the total will now end up correctly.

In most countries I guess these small amounts will be accepted for non tax.

You can only enter negative amounts for service items (with a warning) in FA.

Instead you could create a new PriceList (or Sales Type in Sales Tab). Here you can enter a factor related to the default Sales Type.
F.i. if you want a discount of 10 percent, then enter a factor of 0.9. Then put this Sales Type on the Customer.

In the next major release, release 2.4, the shipping tax can be chosen inside the tax group.
Until then, you will have to declare items as shipping tax.
