@Rafy and please @joe and @apmuthu if you can comment if this is a normal practice:

in config.php

/* Show average costed values instead of fixed standard cost in report, Inventory Valuation Report */
    $use_costed_values = 1;    

changing to

    $use_costed_values = 0;    

seems to show what we were looking for.

Please note in 2.3 the default value is 0 while in 2.4 its 1

Thanks @itronics @apmuthu

Things are working as expected...

For filetype length I temporarily (awaiting 2.5) increased it to 80 from 60 and it seems OK.

ALTER TABLE `0_attachments` CHANGE `filetype` `filetype` VARCHAR(80) CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NULL DEFAULT NULL;

@apmuthu

Thanks ,.. its working fine now.

Two minor things still needs addressing;

1) Mime (filetype) length for MS Office docs needs increasing.
2) In Setup->Attach Documents->Supplier/Customer if one does not choose a customer/supplier the system continues with no warning/error. Maybe a message needs to popup to enter a customer / supplier first.

Yes.. Its working now.

There is an error somehow in 247 when attaching an MS Office files like .docx. It does not attach and error log has the following:

<b>DATABASE ERROR :</b> Attachment could not be inserted<br>error code : 1406<br>error message : Data too long for column 'filetype' at row 1.

Its working OK with 246.

@apmuthu

I am able to add attachments via Setup ->Attach Documents with no problems.
Adding attachments thru Sales->Add and Manage Customers->Attachments gives an error

"The existing Docs could not be removed"

Same with Suppliers.

Hi @notrinos

I have noticed that the systems accepts an employee if the Hire Date is Before the Birth Date. Is this OK?

Take a look at this:

https://frontaccounting.com/punbb/viewtopic.php?id=8393

Dont know if this is an answer or not.. I guess someone did not understand the problem.. I see its a problem.. reproducible as you described it.

@notrinos

One last thing I would like to have is reporting. There are two reports within FrontHrm (rep889.php - Payslip) and (rep_employees.php - Employees List).

The Employee List is perfect in Arabic while rep889 is not.. Arabic is printed as ??????????
Any Ideas how to get around rep889?

@notrinos

I only needed to _('Regular time') instead of 'Regular time' because other changes messed the translation..dont know why.

$cols = array(_('Id')=>array('align'=>'center'), _('Employee Name'));
Resolved the Employee Name and ID

@notrinos

I think this is the last thing as all seems well. Can you please take a look at it.

@notrinos
Good suggestion .. then even in English it should  say (Assistance) or (Help) instead of a question mark. Also I dont See anywhere in the Pay Elements that there is a field that could be negative... as suggested by the help hover... is it somewhere else other than Add/Edit Employee?

Hi @notrinos

what is (?) ? I can only translate it as is... which is the case.

@notrinos

All others are OK except this line:

label_cell(_('(?)'), "title='"._('Enter negative amount for deduction, positive for earning')."' align='right' colspan='2'");

No changes..even the English version is the same.

@notrinos

Attached some screen shots of the translation. I am reviewing it again and will correct some spelling mistakes. Meanwhile second  and third screen shots contain strings that are not translated although they exist in the po file. Also I dont know where the (?) is coming from.. Can you please take a look and advise.

Maybe this should work?

Translation is done. The po file also had other missing/very wrong  data especially with the Fixed Assets module  that I also translated. So to me it looks accurate. More work needs to be done to make sure that its up to a high standard. Couple of things I could see that are not translated. Will discuss later.

Heres the download link to the po file
Arabic PO file

It will be nice if Arabic Language users can test and post some feedback.

Creating a FrontHrm\lang\ar_EG\LC_MESSAGES and placing .mo file there is working for me.
Once I finish Translation I will publish it on the forum.

Thanks notrinos..
I am versed with .po .mo files and I use poedit for translation.
My aim was to have FrontHrm translation file only and not the total FA. If have that where can I place it in order to be picked up.?

@notrinos
I installed the extension and happy to translate it to Arabic.
How do you suggest I go about it in order to integrate it to the already translated FA 2.4.x.
My language is ar_EG UTF-8 2.4.1-3

When one installs FA there is an option in Select Chart of Accounts that has Standard New Company American COA (4 digit) that has empty / clean data. No demo data.

At 244 its OK. at 247 its not.. Problem in between.

You also need to change the Item Adjustment Account in Maintenance-> Items.

One thing I noticed that seems to me as a bug is the changes in Item Defaults in System and General GL setup are not reflected in
Items and Inventory->Maintenance -> Items... as defaults.

Unless there is an explanation for this behavior.

Hi sikumbang,

I also struggled a lot with Languages.. especially RTL. So its helpful to  list your lang/installed_languages.inc (all contents).
The location and version  of your po and mo files and the OS (Windows, Linux etc..).

I think the whole Tax system needs to be looked at seriously. Also the system needs to be explained in details to the user.
I have seen some write up that this will be reviewed in 2.5.

Meanwhile good look to all.

Hi gnurob,

If the Include in tax Registers is ticked then you must see the entries both in the inquiry and report.
Please make sure that the date chosen when you inquire or ask for the report includes the date you made the entry.
