Hello eviking,
I just want to add a couple of comments.
1. Inside the company setup (tab setup) there are fields for tax periods and how long back they go. You can just enter you own values here, then when selecting Tax Report in reports the selection period will correspond to that. In our next release 2.1 you can also make a screen inquiry of the tax report (you can see a demo here , demouser / password ).
2. The VAT is, as Janusz describe it, very professional and handles almost everything you can think of.
3. Again, the flexibility is mandatory for FrontAccounting. I think you can solve the constraints by setting up internal instructions about how to handle the various work flows. It should be possible to reprint invoices, both for own usage, and invoiceses can 'disappear' or get destroyed my mistake.

If you like the program after testing, you might want to translate the texts into Norwegian, right?

Janusz and I have found a solution to this. The last transaction where a foreign account is involved it will update the GL account and put differencies on exchange variations. The CVS will later be updated.

Hello again,
Before you start rewrite things, please try to learn the program. It is capable of doing almost everything. And also read the news about the coming release 2.1.

Hello all,
I just want to say, that we do not recommend this approach. You have to replace everything you have changed when the next release is shipping.
It is much better to use one of the existing ones, and create this as a module. A module is just a way of extending the program in an easy way. And it can be installed from inside FrontAccounting.

Hello again, Rasmus.
I have now looked at the suppler invoice/credit note entry of gl_codes, and the quick entries are now implemented here as well.
I will later commit the files to CVS unstable. Just thought you wanted to know ASAP.
There is no problem removing the constraint of adding other bankaccounts in bank payment/deposit. Do you want me to do that. Everything is handled internally correct. The other bank transactions are done as well, just as they should.

/Joe

Use the Bank Payment in Banking and General Ledger tab. Select Miscellaneous and then you just select the cash/bank account and enter the amount in a selected office equipment account.

I guess the official word is utf-8. However, I am not sure if I can be of any help, though the language zh_CN (simplified) uses the charset GB2312. I have a test-copy running locally without problems with this.
I am glad that you have started the translation and please share it with us as soon as your project has majured.
Maybe other can help us. Just wait and see if any replies show up. I am also glad that you are able to experiment a bit.
Have you tried the reports? The PDF engine supports chinese without problems and it can use the adobe built-in cid0 fonts (must be separately installed) but after that the report size is reduced significantly. You can download a cid0 font on the download page. There are also instructions on how to do it.

BTW, if you want to send something to us, just use our support contact us form on the site. When I return your email, you will be able to attach files to us.

No, there are no periods defined in FA. You simply select your periods yourself when reporting.
There are no problems having JE posts on 12/31/2007. You don't need an extra period for the closing entries. Every entry you make should be available inside the fiscal year.
And if you don't want to close your years, the reporting will still work. All income/expense accounts do not have an open balance (unless you are selecting inside a fiscal year, then it will show open balance from the beginning of the fiscal year). Assets/Liabilities/Equity will always have incoming balances from the very beginning.
If you don't close your fiscal years, then the trial balance will have an unbalance opened balance, because the year closure is missing. But this is no problems for reporting.
But of course you should make the close balance when you are finished with a fiscal year. And after that you should close the fiscal year. In my opinion the best is to create an account in the expense as a last account and debit this and credit the retained earnings balance account with the revenue for the year (credit / debit if you have a loss).

But Rasmus, couldn't you just have 2 quick entries. One that does the first part and one that does the payment part.
You could call them by your supplier name and give the a suffix so you easily can find them. They will be just after each other in the list.
You can create these quick entries with the existing setup very easy.
The way you suggest, will just complicate things. Now it is quite easy for everybody to create them. And as there is no harm done when playing with it, you can do several trial and errors. The Journal Entry is first updated when pressing the process button.

/Joe

It is a little scary to have different dates within a journal entry (transaction with the same journal entry no).
I am not sure if I fully understand your wishes. Shouldn't there be any allocations involved?
Please make a little more explanations so we don't miss anything. Ev. give an example.

/Joe

Normally I do not give any advise of accounting. You should talk to an accountant or look at the sticky topic about accountancy. There are some links to how to use accountancy.
There are so many ways of doing the structure.
There is no need to enter an initial balance of 0.00. You can do a reverse in 2 ways. Just counterbook an earlier journal entry or void it in the Setup tab.
In the bank/cash accounts you can have foreign currency accounts. In the general ledger everything is in you home currency.

/Joe

In the item tab, you can enter some supplier specific info in the Purchase Pricing. You have a conversion factor where you can set 24 and regulate the internal price accordingly.
While this doesn't work fully in 2.0.x, it will be better supported in 2.1 that are under development. These fields will automatically be updated in 2.1 when creating PO receivals/invoices.
