By changing it in the User Setup in Setup tab. The next time you login your default language is the one chosen. The Display Setting - language - only runs during the session.

We need to extract the latest strings into empty.po as well as all the release 2 language-packs.
I will do that when I am back in office on Saturday.

It is in the package. Maybe you have a version before, where the header2.inc wasn't separated.
Wait a bit until the final 2.0 ships, then you can start modifying the header2.inc.

Yes it is. Some reports have the possibility to show business graphics (can be selected). There are 3 different color schemes, that can be set in config.php in the root folder.

The code for the design is in /reporting/includes/header2.inc
and the code for the invoice is reporting/rep107.php
But we have made some changes in the CVS repository for header2.inc and changed the PDF Engine, so if you change something now, please take a backup so you can fix the changes when the final release ships in a fortnight.

Hello,
I'm really glad for this. I can tell you that fully support for unicode, hereby arabic language is now done by switching the PDF engine to TCPDF. So now you should be able to get nice reports.

This will be incorporated in 2.0 final. This switching is transparent for all. No change to other modules, only a few reporting modules.

You can try this on demo 2 site, https://frontaccounting.com/acc3 , Login as demouser, password. Change the language to Egyptian in Preferences and try a report to look at it.

The reports don't make sense, since a very small part of the text is in arabic. But you get the idea.

Hello,
The average item cost update is done in a file /purchasing/includes/db/grn_db.inc, which automatic update the average cost of the stock, which is used when delivering. The file is called when you receive PO order items.

You can also manually update the average cost price in the Inventory tab. This operation is done in /inventory/includes/db/items_trans_db.inc. There are also GL updates when doing this manually.

The cost prices are based on an average price. Not FIFO or LIFO.

The more features that are implemented, the more complicated things will be.
You have to rely on your staff and give them clear message about discounts etc.
If a senior salesman suddenly can't sell with discounts, he will get very angry and throw out the computer.

Hello,
I understand what you mean. The address fields is implemented for the purpose you just mentioned. The invoices looks better if formatted exactly what is common in a specific country.
What about using the area for this sorting? Or if you use specific lines for the city, country etc. it could possible be selected with advanced sql.

The document forms are inside a file, header2.inc that is in folder /reporting/includes. You can change this to fit your own whishes.

The algorithm for doing the allocations is quite complex. You can always do the allocations by either credit notes or payments and several on a single invoice until 0 left to allocate.
It is, however, not possible to discount a credit note to get fully equal when allocating. It is the total amount of the credit note that can be used to that (in this case minus discount).
I guess you can even out the discount by first credit the full amount and then do some journal entries for adjustment. I can not come up to a better approach right now.

Hello,

Cool. Are you using the code (first) field as barcode field? I can understand your wish then. We will consider.

BTW. If you use the 'Search Item List' in Company Setup, you can enter the category in the search field, and only this category will be in the list. Can this be useful?

We have a very simple link payment gateway option to Paypal. Down at the PDF invoice clients have the option to place a payment link to PayPal Link, where customers can press and Enter PayPal with as much info as needed to process payment. I would like a similar option for you, but you probably have better ideas?

You can copy the default password from 'en_US-demo.sql' script file in /sql folder. It is a md5 encoded password (password) in the 0_users table.
With phpMyAdmin you can enter the database and table and paste the password into the password field.

I can not reproduce this and have no idea at present about this. You might want to wait a while until shipment of the final release, however no bug reports have been reported on this before.
You can try to set the $go_debug flag in config.php to 1, and try to see if any errors are produced. You will not see the report with this flag set, but rather the PDF code. But if any other errors are here it will be reported in this window.

Hello, which version and environment are you using? The data is there, but something seems to be wrong in the setup of PDF reading
Or did you select the correct period for the report? There might be no transactions in your selected period.

Sounds great. We will just need to meet any comments on that from the audience.

The algorithms for the aged analysis is:
for invoices the duedate is taken as a parameter and for all other items (payments and credit notes) the docdate/paydate is taken as a parameter when calculating the aging. This is the most common way of doing it.
