Changing the invoice number is available directly in the Setup -> Forms Setup menu.

File uploading is generally avoided as far as is possible. In FA, document uploads for various classes of vouchers are supported. Watermarking pdfs, if used will need to be on a per company basis in the current FA dispensation and hence no choice of pdf file is provided and the custom files hardcoded. Having such a facility to choose the background PDF will then necessitate choosing one each time in what is already a long form for report generation. Furthermore, the choice appears to be hardcoded in several reports and if reduced (if not already) to just one or two functions, it may be feasible.

File names for PDFs generated are based on microtime appended to some random hex number for uniqueness so that you do not trip over cached ones. Rename them as you will after download.

Are you referring to the Memo field width that is small sized?

admin@example.com is the way to go as it cannot be sold.

Nice template to start with. The devs can fashion one for the official repo.

Make the Aircraft as the Customer and the Contact Person as the Real Customer to be billed. Better still, make the Aircraft RegNo and the Customer Name concatenated into being the FA Customer.

If you wish to mine the branch table, use, phpMyEdit.org / Adminer.org or some such CRUD program for a quick and effective job.

Try a fresh install of the latest snapshot and see if the problem persists.

Although the function is now available in FA 2.4, the pre-requisites of having the extra fields added into the appropriate functions that return data arrays for use in reporting / forms has yet to be included. The wiki page on it is self-explanatory - look under the heading "Include the fields necessary in the functions / methods called".

Looks like your problem lies elsewhere. Check values of PHP options like open_basedir.
List versions of php, apache and mysql along with apache error logs (not just the FA error log).

Create an empty file in tmp/faillog.php under the webroot.

Hope you unzipped the master.zip file's contents into your webroot.

Please check if the pdfs are created in the company/# folder's subfolder.
Since you are on Windows XP (XAMPP ? which version?), permissions issues will not be there.

This could be tricky - any copy that is printed out will possibly have the balance value (dynamically computed at print time) as on the print out date and not on the invoice creation date.

That is right. You are using the FA v2.3.24 release version. The code has since been fixed in the GitHub/Hg repos. Get the latest snapshot.

You're right, you need atleast one Customer and one item to generate an invoice....
After that try Direct Invoice....

Make it two parts:
Item 1: Supply Item / Cost 75 / VAT 5% - 3.75
Item 2: Service Item / Cost 25 / VAT 14% - 3.50

The offending lin 59 in includes/ui/ui_controls.inc is:

    if (is_array($hidden_fields))

It is possible that the global $hidden_fields variable may not have been created / visible at the time the error occurred.

Replace it with:

    if (isset($hidden_fields) && is_array($hidden_fields))

Since you are using the stock FA v2.3.24 you did not have the subsequent fixes incorporated.

Check your lang/installed_languages.inc for Arabic's collation. Also make sure the Arabic fonts are installed and referred to in the reports files as in the wiki.

Try to allocate payments to customer instead of depositing in Banking and General Ledger.

You can print the balance sheet only in the home currency of the company in FA now. We will need the exchange rate for the day on which the Balance Sheet is prepared and make allowances for rounding off errors and create another report (or the same one with an extra currency field) based on the current one for multi currency by just factoring in the exchange rate given.
