When trying at the demo site, did you get the desired result?
There must be something here that is out of sync. Eventually try a new installation with a fresh downloaded setup installation from 2.1.2.

there is some thing strange here , I know that there are some common practices when designing a software , one of them is the controlling accounts which is placed in system and gl setup windows , but really I surprised when I tried to make a new template for new company with new chart of accounts and some nominal accounts , when I opened the script related to my template I found that there is four accounts not mentioned there in the windows system and gl setup as the following:
1- Goods Received Clearing Account (1430)
2- Retained Earnings (2050)
3- Purchase Price Variance (4220)
4- Direct Labour (5000)why the developers not add those accounts to the windows of system and gl setup ?
These accounts were obsolete in release 2.1. Was original inplemented for future release. In release 2.2 some of them are used when closing fiscal years (automatic creating a balanced year). The Purchase price variance and the labour are not used at present.

We are planning in future version to clean transactions when deleting fiscal years. Convert the deleted years transactions into Open Balances. Also cleaning other transactions.

what is the accounting system followed here is periodic inventory system or perpetual inventory system ?
if we are about manufacturing solution where is the costing methods of inventory like FIFO , LIFO , Weighted or Moving Average Method , Specific Identification Method ?
The Inventory system and the manufacturing solution are based on the average methods.

This should not be a problem.
Did you enter the correct period? Did you enter the dimension on a line with an income/costs type account?
Something must have been done wrong.

Re: What transaction will involve with a customer credit note (1 replies, posted in Accounts Receivable)
If you credit through the stand alone menu Credit Invoice, then the link to the invoice is not there. The standard transactions are reversed in relation to the invoice. This credit note can be used for other allocations.
Yes you can credit a Direct Invoice. Here you can use the 'Credit this' link in Customer Transactions. At least as long as it is not allocated. Otherwise you must use the stand alone Credit Invoice.

Re: Inventory Item Status (7 replies, posted in Items and Inventory)
Yes, you are right Tom. The Advanced Manufactured items should be included in On Order as long as the WO is NOT closed (during productions the QOHs are updated). The normal assembly updates the QOHs at once, so there should be no update to On Order in this case.
The CVS Main repository is updated on Sourceforge.net. Affected file /inventory/inquiry/stock_status.php
Some other mb_flag checks are fixed too in CVS Main.

Hello,
The Required date is only used in the Advanced Manufacturing. In simple assembling the required date is set to be the same date as the issuing date.
When ticking the Show Item Codes, the Item listboxes shows the item code in front of the item name.

Re: Prompt payment discounts (2 replies, posted in Accounts Receivable)
Due to various rules on how to calculate the percent I will demonstrate how it works:
Customer A has marked 2.5% for prompt payment discount. We issue an invoice on $125.
You get payment from your customer A. A field indicates that customer A has prompt payment discounts on 2.5% (only informative field). You decide if this is a prompt payment and then it is up to you to split the fysical payment and the discount field (due to various rules on how to calculate ev. tax). If you want full 2.5% on $125 and you got $121,87 from Customer A you enter that in the first field and the discount $3,13 in the second field.
Now you process the payment and if you continue to immediate allocation you will see that everything end up right-

Re: Dimensions from invoices etc. are not used in ledger (4 replies, posted in Dimensions)
i've just looked through all the reports that can be filtered by dimensions and everything works just like a charm.
Normally you don't see any dimension transaction in the Balance Sheet, unless you explicitly have entered them in the Journal Entry Form.
But they should show up in P&L Statement, GL Account Statement, trial balance report etc. and many inquiries, that can be filtered by dimensions.
Did you select correct periods?
Which reports showed an empty report.
This is the first time I have heard of any problems with this.

Re: Dimensions from invoices etc. are not used in ledger (4 replies, posted in Dimensions)
If you put a dimension, either on an article or a client, it will automatically generate sales lines for these items. Please try a little harder to see how it works.
When you invoice, and if you put a dimension on the customer, this dimension is suggested. After you have created your invoice you can look at the GL entry.
The dimensions inside FA are powerful tools to follow a specific cost centre, project or whatever you use it for.
When you run a Balance Sheet or profit & loss statement, you can filter by dimension. There are other reports filtered by dimensions.
So please try again.

Re: Dimension dates: what are they meant for (3 replies, posted in Dimensions)
I guess a minor bug showed up here. When I tested to close a dimension it was still shown in the lists around FA. It shouldn't and this is fixed in CVS Main trunk, affected file /includes/ui/ui_lists.inc
Be careful when closing a dimension mistakenly. It can only be restored (opened) by accessing the database directly f.i. with phpMyAdmin.

Re: Dimension dates: what are they meant for (3 replies, posted in Dimensions)
The first date is the creation date for the dimension. The second date is the estimated end day. This is only an informative field. If you want to close a dimension you have to do that in the dimension form.

Re: Use a ISO 8859-1 as UTF8 (4 replies, posted in Translations)
We just installed a Spanish/Argentine language on the demo server (Linux with gettext installed) . The language was set to UTF-8 in the PO file before creating the MO file (Catalog - Settings) (normally it is ok with iso-8859-1). Due to this we installed the language via Setup - install/upgrade languages. Set the Encoding to UTF-8. Choosed the language in Preferences. Logged out and in again and everything went fine.
Normally you would set the encoding for Spanish to iso-8859-1, but I thought it would be cool to test if it works with UTF-8 and it did on the demo server.
Did you use UTF8 instead of UTF-8. I haven't tested if this could be a problem.

Past Due Days Interval: In the customer/Supplier aging analysis there is a time-span between the due amounts. This is the time-span in days.
Accumlate batch shipping: If you are accumulating several delivies into one invoice, you can choose to accumulate the shipping cost from each delivery. Otherwise only a single shipping cost is debited.
Dimension required by after: The dimension will default be set as a closing date after these days. Can be overridden when creating.
Work Order Required By after: The work order will be set as required by this day. Can be overridden when creating.

Maybe this could be done with a special module belonging to the GL tab. Unfortunately we do not have much resources at present to do this, but now we have announced it so maybe somebody out there reflects on this. I hope so.
