Hi,
The wiki is your 1st port of call for help, it probably has about 60% of all the info you need, so please invest time reading: Still need help? Search the forum (use google 'search term' site:frontaccounting.com if you find the forum's internal search frustrating); the forum contains the next 35% of the info you need. Still need help? Post a question on here.
Also you can always try some tests and experiments with your 'Training company'

Re: Inventory Effect (4 replies, posted in Accounts Receivable)
Yes, that makes sense now...
So as previously mentioned 'Sell the widget as a purchase item for $44.99 then the inventory would look after the stock etc. Sell the service plan as a service item for $45' which can both go on the same sales order. Use sales pricing to set the costs.
Or as you suggest a sales kit; a sales kit can comprise of 'mixed' items - so purchased items and service items can be in the same kit. The inventory would still manage the physical stock of the purchased item. Once you've created the kit use sales pricing to set the cost. But sales kit price allocation will not give you the desired sales price of the widget.
A sales kit would be less work when creating the sales order and less complicated for users, but separate items give more flexibility.
Setting up a 'training company' will allow you to test, trial, etc

Re: Inventory Effect (4 replies, posted in Accounts Receivable)
Hi,
Not exactly sure what you exactly mean?
But my initial thoughts are as follows:-
Sell the widget as a purchase item then the inventory would look after the stock etc. Sell the service plan as a service item.
This is based on:-
The widget is sold for >£0, ie the widget is not given away @ zero cost to the client.

Re: price list for products (2 replies, posted in Items and Inventory)
Yes, but not actually per customer, you would have to do it by sales type (Sales - > Sales Types) and the assign a sales type a sales price in Items and Inventory - > Sales Pricing.
You can create as many sales types as you want, then select the correct sales type when you create the sales order/invoice/etc and the correct sales prices should be assigned

Re: Batch Processing Modifications for FA (14 replies, posted in Setup)
So before you complete this weeks invoice edit the sales group list; edit deceased customers details and remove them from the sales group.
Then create one invoice with the correct items on it, then use this invoice as the template for a recurrent invoice Run the recurrent invoice, after its run once cancel it so it does not run again
If you need to know which customer is in which sales group this post may help
You would then have to do this everyweek, a little bit involved, but a lot easier than writing hundreds of invoices
Also although I've not tested myself but I've seen a topic on here showing how sales prices will affect the sales items prices, when used with recurrent invoices, but cannot find it at this moment - depending on your desired result it maybe worth investigating?
I looked at this myself, but the paradox is automation = non-flexibility, so the more automated the system becomes the less flexible it is, so recurrent invoices = same sale items AND same customers AND same timeframe AND same sales terms AND etc.
For an easier user solution I can only suggest you use the select multiple customers code as in recurrent invoices merged into the existing create sales order code

Re: How is ‘path_to_root’ set? Or how to reset the working directory? (8 replies, posted in Modules Add-on's)
Can also confirm I was using:-
$new_path_to_root = "../../.."; //new path for includes in customers.phpAnd
$path_to_root = "../.."; //Old path to pass in sessionIt seems that once the path is set in the session it remains the same – is this correct?
I installed on lamp server as well, this did provide slightly different faults:-
include_once(../../includes/db_pager.inc): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in file: /sales/inquiry/customer_inquiry.php at line 14
/sales/inquiry/customer_inquiry.php:14: include_once()

/sales/inquiry/customer_inquiry.php:14: include_once()
/modules/additional_fields/manage/add_customers.php:451: include_once(' /sales/inquiry/customer_inquiry.php')The pear / php path is doubled up isn’t it?
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
EDIT
this maybe interesting
I changed php ver to 7.0 (Also tried 7.1... same result)
and the fault changed to:-
(include_path='.:/opt/cpanel/ea-php70/root/usr/share/pear')No mention of .....share/php??????
Tried changing php ver on wamp, no change in errors - so this maybe a red herring?

Re: Want to create an up-to-date accounting framework for Germany's SKR04 (7 replies, posted in Banking and General Ledger)
No, not really, the COA is the 'Framework' in your sense
There is config.php in the root dir which has a few variables in it, but I do not think that's what you mean.
The rest of the settings are in Setup -> company setup and System and General GL Setup, but there are also many other menu items where you can configure FA: And all of these settings will be stored in the database(Which is your copy/settings of the COA)
Upload a COA, then go to Setup -> Backup and Restore... create a backup, download and compare with the COA
You can change the GL accounts in Banking and General Ledger - > GL Accounts

Re: When does Inventory hit GL? (1 replies, posted in Banking and General Ledger)
Hi,
Have you read this and relevant pages?
Extract:-
Workflow
The normal procedure is first a Purchase Order (PO), then a receival note (GRN) and then a Supplier Invoice (menu on right side).
If you do a Direct Supplier Invoice, all these stages will be performed in the background.
If you do a Direct GRN, a PO is done in the background. When the Supplier Invoice is received, you use the Supplier Invoice (menu on right side).
New users are encouraged to setup a training company, to test, verify, etc.
Another variable is what credit terms does the supplier give you?
You can void a PO in Setup -> Void a Transaction

Default accounts are defined in various places in FA. For example:-
Setup -> System and General GL Setup
And
Items & Inventories -> Item Categories

Re: Want to create an up-to-date accounting framework for Germany's SKR04 (7 replies, posted in Banking and General Ledger)
Hi,
1st. If you are new to FA then create a Training company for you to practice, test, etc
2nd. SKR04 is a chart of accounts, how do the 4 current German COA's compare? You will find them in Setup -> Install/Activate Chart of Accounts
3rd. If none of them are similar then you will have to create your own, use one of the existing COA's as a template.
In the unlikely event that you are thinking of including all of the accounts from the SKR04, then please be aware that you may slow the application considerably. In my experience most small companies need <150 accounts
