I am reading the readme file for the import items csv module.  What is the difference between BOM, UOM, KIT, FOREIGN and BUY type?

I am wondering at the very beginning when FA creates the company during the installation process, where is the code to create all those tables in the db?  I want to create those custom fields also when I create a new company.  If I do the customization, might as well start it from the beginning instead of only for this company.  I found out the table I need to modify is the stock_master table but it is only for this company though.

The data from my old system have some custom fields.  Obviously, the item in FA does not have enough fields for that.  Is there  a way to do it or I have to do some coding myself?  If it does need some coding, can someone point me to the right phps so I can look into it.  Thanks!

Thank you for the help! It works.  After testing FA for a few days, it is truly sophisticated for a free system.

I have the system administrator role.  I installed the import item csv module from setup and the version is 2.3.0-1.  It does not show up under items and inventory, maintence and when i go to access setup, it does not have the import item csv checkbox under role.  My FA version is 2.3.17.  Any idea?

The problem is solved.  It is because I personally like to use the English interface.  When I tested out some customer names, I have to use Chinese.  Since FA reporting language matches with the preference language, it goes to default font name - dejavu instead of chinese_traditional_cid so the scrambled characters come up as result.   I have a suggestion for users who like to use English interface but need to print Chinese, you can set the default font name to chinese_traditional_cid because I tested it out and it pretty much covers all the characters of simplified Chinese, traditional Chinese and English.

Great.  Thank you!

I think this should be pretty basic too.  Just to search invoices that I created between dates.  Does FA have a function for that?  I just cannot find it out.

Does FA have a item list function which lists all the items with quantity on hand and which warehouse is located at?  This is a pretty basic function but I just cannot find it.

Hi, I am new to FA accounting.  Just finished installing and trying various of things.  I got the input of Chinese working already but I am not able to print it correctly (still comes up with scrambled code).  I had already download the chinese_traditional_cid.zip files and placed them in \reporting\font\ already and also check the class.pdf.inc to make sure the font name is chinese_traditional_cid.
