FrontAccounting is designed after usual model implemented by all fiscal systems known to FA developers. This model does not allow to use on invoice tax rates according to taxpayer wishes, but the tax calculated is dependent either on item tax category, customer tax group or both. So, I guess you will not find proper solution to your problem inside FA.

Re: Custom GL for purchase invoices (6 replies, posted in Accounts Payable)
Skynight, please look closer at the GL postings generated in FA, then you will find they are made properly: inventory GL account postings are triggered on delivery/GRN, not on invoicing. (Providing you have correctly set up FA).

Re: Mercurial help (6 replies, posted in Accounts Receivable)
Mercurial does not need git installed of course. And you probably also do not, unless you use git for other projects .
The instructions above contain all what is needed to have version control of your local code changes, and easily merge all new code from FA upstream when the changes appear in central repo.
When you clone FA repo, the result is new working directory, with local hg repository in .hg hidden subdir. When you have cloned repo, all subsequent Hg commands should be run inside the working directory tree (but outside .hg subdir). Therefore the start of the procedure in your case should probably looks like this:
cd /var/www
hg clone https://frontaccounting.hg.sourceforge.net/hgroot/fontaccounting/frontaccounting repository4FA
cd repository4FA
hg branch local_branch
.... etc...
(providing you really want to access your FA with url like http://localhost/repository4FA/index.php )

Re: How to translate words from the database (11 replies, posted in Translations)
All the strings in database are user defined, so we cannot add them to *.po/*.mo file, just because we don't know what is content of your database. You can do it yourself if you have enough time for it:
1. add the strings from your database tables you want to be translated to all *.po language files you like;
2. translate them and generate *.mo files;
3. find all places in sources where the strings are displayed not translated, and add _() calls over respective variable/expression.
As you see recipe is simple, but you need to spent a couple of days to be satisfied.

Re: How to translate words from the database (11 replies, posted in Translations)
All the user interface is subject to translation, so FA user sending out an invoice in Germany can have messages in German. The document printout language is defined on target basis (e.g. for invoices you can set document language per customer branch). But unfortunatelly FA does not support multi-language texts stored in database, so e.g. item names will not not be translated.

No, as for now it is not considered in near future, but both tasks (make sales order on base of PO and adding additional informative field in items table) is rather simple task. Anyway unless you are somewhat comfortable with php syntax you probably will need somebody hired to make it for you.

I guess you have extracted FA traball in some subfolder under your www document_root (e.g. /var/www/frontaccounting) ?
Then just run installer in your browser (just http://localhost/frontaccounting/index.php) and follow instructions.

Re: email of quotes (38 replies, posted in Accounts Receivable)
Yes, if you only use the possibility to keep your own report version in company folder, you even do not need mercurial. But AFAIR you have talked about some other customizations (added links on final transaction page) in another thread. The described worflow should make your life easier in this case.
Regarding the company folder you can easily remove the company folder from Mercurial version control in your local_branch to be on safe side.

Re: email of quotes (38 replies, posted in Accounts Receivable)
If you are looking for easy way for maintaining local patches on top of latest FA, you should simply use mercurial. Just clone sourceforge repository on your development box and maintain your local changes in separate branch e.g.:
hg clone https://frontaccounting.hg.sourceforge.net/hgroot/fontaccounting/frontaccounting
hg branch local_branch
Then apply all your local patches, and save the changes:
hg commit -m "my local patches"
When new changes appears in repo and you want to update your local_branch:
hg pull
hg checkout local_branch
hg merge default
When no conflicts happen between your changes and chnages in repo you are done. Otherwise you have to resolve conflicts and commit the effect of merge to the local_branch (more details about how to resolve the conflicts you will find in google).

Re: UTF8 vs ISO8859-1 (7 replies, posted in Translations)
You can recode the language file (e.g. with 'recode' tool), compile it again with msgfmt, and change declared encoding in installed_languages.php. But if you have enough permissions on your linux server you can just add de_DE.iso-8859-1 locales along with de_DE.utf-8. I see no reason why you consider this simple solution as 'not smart'.
