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.

Re: Custom Field Name (2 replies, posted in Setup)
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.

Re: Inquiries and Reports (5 replies, posted in Banking and General Ledger)
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.

Re: Inquiries and Reports (5 replies, posted in Banking and General Ledger)
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.

Re: Changing languages (22 replies, posted in Report Bugs here)
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.

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.

Re: Chinese Characters appear as question marks in FA2 but not FA1 (6 replies, posted in Report Bugs here)
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

Re: Changing languages (22 replies, posted in Report Bugs here)
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.

Re: Print Sales Invoice (6 replies, posted in FA Modifications)
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.

Re: Print Sales Invoice (6 replies, posted in FA Modifications)
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.

Re: Arabic Translation for new version 2.0 by infotechaccountants.com team (15 replies, posted in Translations)
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.

Re: Inventory Item Cost Update (3 replies, posted in Items and Inventory)
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.

Re: Validate Price (2 replies, posted in FA Modifications)
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.

Re: Address for Customers (2 replies, posted in FA Modifications)
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.
