When an item is manufactured from raw material, a part gets manufactured say as "BUCKET" into inventory whist some either gets written off as wastage or gets into inventory as a Manufactured item called "REUSABLE WASTE" with zero value since it has been accounted for in the raw material issued earlier. When a new "BUCKET" is to be manufactured, a little less raw material is issued whilst the rest is taken as the "REUSABLE WASTE" item with zero value.

Never edit data in the tables directly. FA is an ERP with security provisions and audit trails along with storage of computed values. Void or contra the entry and then make the correct one.

Take a backup. make a new entry and then take another backup and compare where all the changes happened and then manually reverse / alter the changes as needed.

Adminer can be used effectively for FrontAccounting. The Adminer Editor can be leveraged to getting data into specific FA tables. It is available in GitHub.

phpLeaveManager is my example/tutorial for Adminer Editor that can be used as a template for managing FA Tables.

When a direct invoice has been voided what policy do you expect for any payments received for that invoice till then?

Actually any payments received from the customer for that invoice should be either voided or re-assigned to be advances received on account before voiding any associated direct invoice.

Check the customer ledger account to see if the customer payment is still there and void it there if necessary.

@joe: What is the policy on treating customer payments received on voiding associated direct invoice?

If there is an error in the opening balance of one account where did the contra entry go? The Balance Sheet should balance out and the difference might get into Cash on Hand. Pass a Journal Voucher to correct the error as on the first day of 2015.

Alternatively, re-open the previous year, make corrections there and then close the previous year and see what gives.

Anything in the error logs?

Pass a Journal Voucher correcting it.

How did you get the opening balance - by closing the previous year or by entering a JV in the current year?

Make a separate clean install of FA v2.3.25 and take a backup of the sql schema.
Compare the sql with that of your pre-upgrade v2.3.22 and see if there are any settings change.
Compare the sql/en_US-new.sql in FA v2.3.25+ with your Singapore CoA and see what differs.

Provide an ERD schema of the new tables your module has introduced along with a workflow diagram.
Where is the GitHub repo for others to take it forward?
What licence does it come with?

In plain vanilla FA, there is no cheque number field. It must exist only in the Memo / Description field. You can make a module extension for yourself for the new field in the forms / reports with new tables in a 1:1 relationship with existing ones or extend the table schema for a new field. Such changed will break your upgradeability unless you also upgrade your module extension.

Attempting to live within the Memo / Description field can be done using the Inventory Bin hack listed in the wiki.

Is there anyone facing this issue?

If there is a customer payment or bank deposit involved the amount should not be 0 (!=0). So where is the problem?

Then treat the payment as on Account and pay by allocation with check number which would be searchable. For reporting by cheque number, you will have to parse it out into a custom report.

@joe: what parts need to make it to the core?

Best way:
1. Take sql backup.
2. Manually make 1 entry.
3. Take another sql backup
4. Compare the backups and see what changed
5. Generate and execute MySQL statements (in phpMyAdmin, SQLyog, etc) to simulate these changes (Inserts / Updates) for all other entries to be imported.

Which version of FA are you using?
The current stable one is v2.3.25+.
Which Chart of Account are you using?

Since it is related to another post, it is best if posted in that thread itself.

In the Charts itself?

Use the Memo box with wordings being "Part of Ch No...."

Does the client use FrontAccounting or do they intend to do so?
This is not a general employment forum but specific to FA related work.
