The Wiki states:

Purpose

Generate a credit note for customer reimbursement.

Procedure

Enter each line item as if a Sales Order were being entered. If the material is to be returned to stock, select the correct option from the Credit Note Type combo-box and location/warehouse it is being be returned to. Otherwise (Items Written Off), if material is NOT going to be returned to stock (credit only) select the GL Account to be adjusted.

If there is no material involved and a mere credit note is desired to be passed on to a customer by way of say discount amount in settlement after the invoice was raised, there is no place to enter the amount other than in Shipping. It is possible to create a dummy service item assigned with negative amount during Customer Credit Note creation to accommodate this situation.

Tips and Tricks

If some material will be returned to stock, but others won't, they will need to be on separate credit notes.

The actual screenshot is attached, where there is no list of GL Accounts to select from for Credit Note Type.

When the Credit Note Type "Items Written Off" is selected, then the GL Accounts list comes up and if the default sales account was chosen for the customer branch then choose the Sales Account (4010) in the Standard US CoA.

Look in the modules folder's sub-folder of the extension used. The name of the extension's folder path is listed in the installed_extensions.php file.

It is possible that the module's files are accepting only integers as account numbers.

The es_MX translation is available in my repo - fill in / update the missing translations and forward to the forum and to the official repo.

There has been a growing interest in FA since July 2016 as the attachment shows.

@itronics: committed in the official repo.

There is a need to investigate / discuss the matter at hand and also look at it in the light of another issue in the bug tracker that @itronics is looking at.

My unofficial repo has the core folder in synch with the main FA repo's master branch only and my modifications are in another folder - FAMods. Yet another folder has the expanded out extensions as well. Hence it is not possible to provide a pull request from my GitHub Repo to the upstream one's master branch.

@joe: In FA 2.3 please change lines 179-180 in sales/includes/db/sales_invoice_db.inc:

            update_debtor_trans_allocation(ST_SALESINVOICE, $invoice_no, $amount);
            update_debtor_trans_allocation(ST_CUSTPAYMENT, $pmtno, $amount);

to

            update_debtor_trans_allocation(ST_SALESINVOICE, $invoice_no);
            update_debtor_trans_allocation(ST_CUSTPAYMENT, $pmtno);

It is pertinent to note that the third parameter in the function update_debtor_trans_allocation in sales/includes/db/custalloc_db.inc is only available in FA 2.4.x and that too it is a person_id and not an amount.

Fixed inmy unofficial repo's FAMods. Fixed in the core now (2016-11-14).

Going forward, if there are any changes in the parameters of functions, a global search and replace as needed should be done and it should fulfill all such usages.

On a fresh install now everything appears okay!

Testing out the FA 2.3.25+ master on GitHub as a fresh install with demo data has the auto_update field in the currencies table as checked (1).

1. Navigate to Banking & General Ledger => Currencies
2. Choose to edit any non-default currency.
    Error 1: The inactive flag gets enabled wrongly
3. Try to uncheck the auto_update field in the UI.
    It will return as successful.
    Error 2: The currencies table auto_update field and the table display do not get updated!

Check if it is made into a "Bank Account" whether it would work.

State which version of FA you are using and what what versions of PHP/MySQL/OS for the server.
Test with the latest version of the stable FA Release.

When the default currency is chosen on the exchange rates page, we can choose to have the list of last exchange rates displayed as per my FA v2.3.25 mod committed in my FAMods folder.

@joe: can integrate it with the standard paged table constructs and port to FA 2.4 as well.

1. Create and assign a role (with or without FA core editions) to a user with such restrictions. Quick Entries may be used as well.
2. Sub Ledgers are currently available and reporting can be summary or detailed (need to hack the repXXX.php files). Account tags may be useful here as they are already available as filters in the reports.
3. Need an extension with a separate field that lists those that need approval.

DNS poisoning, blacklisting and simply it's temporary non availability have made us use this choice and order. Timeouts are not because of IP but some setting - php.ini, httpd.conf, etc.

What purpose would WickedGrid serve since the html display of the various reports already exist in some form or the current excel can be viewed in a browser with plugins? Check if and how it will /can be a security risk.

Thanks for the feedback.

Wiki-ed it.

Site accessible only intermittently.
The sql dump works okay on both my Debian 6 public IP and XAMPP v1.7.3 on localhost as expected.

Try to make the following changes to your sql and see if on a fresh login the problem persists:

UPDATE `cafcolom_apmu`.`0_users` SET `language`='C' WHERE `id`='1';
UPDATE `cafcolom_apmu`.`0_sys_prefs` SET `value`='3600' WHERE `name`='login_tout';
INSERT INTO `cafcolom_apmu`.`0_sys_prefs`(`name`,`category`,`type`,`length`,`value`) VALUES ( 'default_quote_valid_days','glsetup.sales','smallint','6','30'); 

-- Check the 0_security_roles table's records

Make sure that the cron script has the necessary session values or hard code them into it and keep it beyond your webroot and an appropriately set $page_security and $path_to_root.

Check your DB permissions for the FA user.

What is the version of PHP / MySQL and what platform are you on - Linux/Windows/Mac and version.

Tested a db backup and then restore which failed possibly due to lack of sufficient db permissions for the mysql user used by FA.

Can confirm your yellow triangle on Ajax change of customer in new direct invoice in WinXPSP3 / FF 37.0.2. This is specific to your install and you would need to access your apache error log and php error log in FA to see what gives.

Even changing to the current fiscal year and attempting the above results in the same error.

What is the version of PHP / MySQL you are using?

Place a link to a demo install and let us see what breaks.

Hope you are using the FA git master code.
