The balance on dimensions is already implemented in a commit for 2.4. So it will be available in release 2.4.9 that is about to release soon.

I would rename the Invoice to Contract or Contract/Invoice. And create a service item as a sub contract. Then either use normal payments/prepayments and allocations.
Then you can send the Statements out to your customers.

@rafat
Yes, you are right. The problem is that the CSS conditions are not easy to implement. In my point of view the Browsers should fix this when we have ordered it to have the dir='rtl'. The Browsers do the best they can, but this is not good enough.

I have got really interested in solving this, and I hope all of you developers will help me. I will also dig further to get better design for the rtl languages. I will also try to fix many of the popular themes to behave both ltr and rtl.
Thanks for testing.

I don't understand what is achieved with this version of TCPDF. This version is more than half a GB bigger than our current version, that is working perfectly.

Hello again,

After being testing and evaluating, I came up with that we will have problems using the JS client-side graphics engine.
We will have problems uploading the locally created graphics to the server for printing in PDF etc., so I ended up with upgrading our own class.graphic.inc file. It can now handle the vector graphics used in various JS client Libraries. But it handle it from the server side. The class.graphic.inc also supports multiple series, not just 2 as before. And of course it handles all the 'old' graphics, like PNG, JPG and GIF too. Everything is updated to handle the modern graphics as Beziers Curves like Spline, Half donuts. Writing text inside donuts and so fort. The reason for keeping these graphic engines is that when printing to PDF we use the PNG variant. If we should print the new SVG routines we would have to update the TCPDF to a newer version and add half a GB to our project, and this is not my cup of tea!
The updated graphic class can also be used to short SVG graphics inside the html using the member class SVG inside the class.graphic.inc file. I have some examples that I will show you later.

Please have a look at it on the site:

The demo will be up for a week.

In the mean time Janusz has been updated several of the Mantis bugs, so we can be up-to-date with the bug-fixing.

We are still planning for 2.5, but it is important to be rather bug-free before we concentrate on that.
This new graphic class can be used in the existing 2.4 version. There are no required database updates for that. So it could be included in the upcoming 2.4.9. Would that be ok?

@rafat.
Please have a look at the RTL version. In my opinion it seems ok, but as you know, I'm not an expert.

You don't have to delete it. Just remove the group number from class COGS and point it to an expense class. This way you will not see it in practise. If no groups is using the Cogs class it will not be seen. At least I hope so.

Hello, I have been looking at this old commit, and going through the operations as explained, I can find no errors here.

Are you sure, you have the correct tax report dates when you look at the tax inquiries/reports?

Otherwise, please be more detailed so I can dig deaper.

Hard to tell. We are waiting for some rewrite of stock code. But we are trying to force the release.
In the meantime you can make a test version on release 2.4.8. Looking forward to see it.
