If you don't use the tax, just create a tax group called 'Not Used' or something like that. and select none of the taxes (just like tax-free).
If you only have this one tax group, it will always be default when creating customers/suppliers. Do a similar thing for the Item Tax Types, and you are free of the tax. It will not be written on any documents and no tax transactions are done.

The reason for the backward numbering in document printing is that you normally will print the latest ones, and therefore it is easier to find them this way. But as you found out, they have to be select in ascending order smile
No it is not possible to only select invoices from one customer.

The best and safest thing to do, is to void the sales transactions. You do that in Setup tab, Void transactions. First look in the inquiries to pick up the numbers first. Remember to void both sales invoice, delivery notes and sales orders. If there are GL postings and Inventory movements they will automatically be voided as well.
There are so many links between the tables that is is almost impossible to remember them all by doing this in phpMyAdmin.

/Joe
BTW, if you try to void a sales order, that is also a template, it will not be voided, but this has no influence over the critical postings.

FA2 uses the PHP built-in mail function to send mail so you should be able to use it transparently. The messages are in doctext.inc and doctext2.inc, that are included by pdf_report.inc in /reporting/includes folder.

You do that in Sales - Sales Order Inquiry. Mark the Tmpl checkbox for the items you want to be templates. Then they will show up when selecting Template Delivery/Invoice.

Those company extra fields are not used by FA, but more to extra info for yourself.
In the company setup, you place your VAT no in Tax Authority Reference field
In the customer setup, you place the customers VAT no in th GSTno field. Sorry for the different words.
If these fields are filled then the info will come on the documents.

You should see, that if this is a bank account, this bank account is updated as well, right?

This is on our priority list

It looks like your files are out of sync.
Inside the file /gl/includes/db/gl_trans_db.inc there is a function, add_journal_entries. This function inserts the bank account transactions as well if the GL account is also a bank account. Look for yourself in the function.
Anyhow, when investigating this, I found another minor update bug. The Bank Account Title wasn't updated on screen.

/Joe

You should be able to see them in the Bank Account Inquiry. If the Bank Accounts are created correctly, the GL entries will always be posted to Bank Accounts as well.
Are you sure the bank account is created?
I think this was implemented way back in release 1.xx something, so if you are using release 2.0 it should definitely work.

/Joe
BTW, the entry of Bank Accounts in Journal Entry was implemented mostly so administrators could enter an initial balance.

Try to give full privilegies on /es_MX/LC_MESSAGES folder (write enable). If gettext is not installed, then PHP will create a .php file to use for the language.

Look in the user table for your company with phpMyAdmin. See if admin has correct Administrator priviligies.

Are you sure that both the .mo and .po file is in the language folder on the server? The .po file is used by PHP to create a .php file, when gettext is not installed on the server.

You must login as an Administrator to create new companies.

Yes, you should probably set the character set to the right one in MySql. Maybe the default en_US-demo.sql is not adequate to start a Chinese client. You should probably create your own script file for this.
If you do, please share it with us smile

Did you try the $go_debug set to 1, to eventually trap some errors here? Or did you try to look in the apache_error.log file at the server. Sometimes they report interesting things here.
Normally it should work right away.

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.
