Yes, there are db changes, but maybe you don't need to update your modules. You can check the file alter2.2.sql to see if there are changes to be fixed in the modules.

The problem is lack of resources. We have monitored the tcpdf project to see if we need updating. And we haven't needed an upgrade to solve our existing reporting. Most of the upgrades have been considering html print out.
We cannot upgrade tcpdf every time they ship. There can be several releases a week.
We also have a depreciated version of the huge file unicode_data called unicode_data2.php. it is also mandatory to say that we are php 4 and 5 compatible, so we must use the php 4 version.
You are, however, welcome to test if we can use a later version. Be aware of our own implementation inside tcpdf.php at the top. You should consider using the 2.2 unstable version of FA. The beta is shipping shortly. It it can be replaced, there should be no problems releasing this during minor release 2.2.X updates.

Both Sales Quotations and Sales Orders now have reference fields (2.2 late). They are in the upper left column. If these references is partly numeric (last characters) they are automatically incremented. They can, however, be overridden.
In the Sales Quotation Inquiry, you can create Sales Orders from Sales Quotations.

Please set the variable $go_debug flag in config.php to 1. This will catch eventually any database errors.
Which version are you running?

/Joe

You can modify the code yourself. We are satisfied with it as it is.

/Joe

person_type_id and person_id is stamped with info from Sales Invoices/deliveries/credit notes and supplier/invoices/credit notes and with info from Manufacturing etc. etc.
It is not possible for us to change the journal entries to also include person_type_id and person_id. You can, however modify the code yourself.

Be careful when entering too much text here. You only have one line for this. The print out is done from header2.inc, so you will need to study it carefully. Backup header2.inc before experimenting, so you can go back again, should everything go bananas smile

You should use Customer Payment/Bank Deposits to enter your payments from your customers. If you have an initial suspence account, You could do a transfer from the suspence account to the Bank Account you normally use for customer payment. And then do a Customer Payment/Bank Deposit. Your bank account for customer payments is now evened out and the suspence account is zero.
But you now have access to future allocations for the customer payment. I hope you follow me.

You made a bank payment with a couple of transactions. Let us say $30 total. Result now bank -$30 (credit) and the transactions are in debit.
You made a bank deposit into the same account? Let us say $20 (debit) and you charged the loan account with $20 (credit).
The balances for these two actions are now: Your bank account should be -$10, your payment transactions $30 and your loan account -$20.
That is what I get when I try. And if I require a Trial Balance for this one day, I see my totals being correct.
If you do not get the same result, then there is something wrong with either of your bank accounts.

/Joe

I am not sure I understand what you have been doing. We have no problems reported here. Can you be more specific. Exactly which transactions did you do in the bank payments and which transaction in the bank deposits. And where did your problem arise?

As long as there are no transactions on the fiscal year you can change the fiscal year. First create a dummy year 010108 - 311208. Set the company to use this year. Now delete the year 010109 - 311209 and create your own year. Set the company to use this one. You may need to create a shorter year from jan to sep first  if FA complains. This may also be deleted later.
This is only the first time this is a little tricky. The reason for this is that we must keep a correct continuation of fiscal year dates.

As default the groups are numbered from 1-12. And Classes default from 1-4

Remember that the Balance Sheet/Profit and Loss Statement and Monthly Break down are ordered by class/group/account

Let us start with the groups. For now let the old groups be there. Enter your groups and start f.i. with number 20. Enter all the groups you want in right order. Make a gap between them of 5. Then you can easily insert new groups if you need one.
Now go into the GL Accounts and enter your new groups on each account one by one.
It is now time for you to delete the old groups 1-12.

If you want to rearrange the classes. Start by entering the classes at number 10 and again make a gap of 5.
Go back to the GL Account Groups and select your new classes on each group.
And finally you can delete your old classes.

That's it.

Something went wrong during installation. But you can fix the password the following way.
Use phpMyAdmin to enter your database. Find the 0_users table and select the admin account for editing. Paste the following into the password field:

5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99

This is a md5'ed version of the password: password. You can change this inside FA later.

Another solution would be to move the COS account into the same group as the Sales account, and maybe rename the group to Gross Profit.
You can try to se if this suits you.

/Joe

If you want to present the GP for your sales, consider using the COS group as sub-group of the Main Sales group. And select the Sales class for this COS group. This would probably be the best way of solving this.  The other sales group could have their own stand alone group(s).
This is easy to switch forth and back if it doesn't fit. And no harm is done to the system.

Various legislations require to see the sequence. This is the reason for showing them with a zero amount.

/Joe

Hello, If you want your Profit & Loss Statement to show the Gross profit, before showing other income, you will have to re-arrange your account classes/groups(types). When running the PL statement the sequense is ordered by class and group (type).
Maybe you should make a backup before experimenting. Or try the Training Co. first.

You will have to loborate with the current row and column setting in header2.inc. Make a backup of the file before 'playing'.

Set the variable, $go_debug, to 1 in the file config.php. That will tell you about the errors.
