I am loving the prepayment feature in FA 2.4 as 90% of my servicers and purchases are prepaid. There is an issue though that will lead to problems down the road. Let me describe it as best as I can.

When you make a prepaid order and key in all the items, you can set the pre-payment amount in the "Pre-Payment Required" field. Then you can go ahead and accept a payment against this sales order for that amount. When you query either the payment or the order, you see that are associated together - the payment is allocated to the order.

All working good so far.

The problem comes in the final processing of the order. When you deliver the items and make the final prepayment invoice, the payment is dissociated from the order and just remains there in the account pointing to nothing. In essence, it is still allocated because it does not appear in the unallocated transactions, but when you query the payment it points to nothing. Querry the order or the invoice and you find that they are associated together but have no associated payments.

Now, this may not be a problem right away, but as we all know in accounts every entry must be associated with something. If a customer ever raises a query you will not be able to trace where these naked payments point to, not to mention the issues auditors will have with seemingly unallocated payments.

Can this be fixed so that at least the payment remains associated with the original order?

By the way, the same thing happens to prepaid purchase orders as well. Prepayments become dissociated when the final invoice is entered.

FA 2.4, I usually use journal entries to enter my fixed monthly bank charges. But something strange is happening. When I select my bank account under "Account Description", a new column pops up before the "Debit" column called "Counterparty" and is populated with one of my suppliers. There is no option to delete the Counterparty entry. What is this column for and why does it suddenly show up?

I have noted it only shows up in the default bank account, no other bank account has it showing up when I select it.

@apmuthu, this fixed the issue I was having with the dynamic theme (it was displaying a white screen), but it does not fix the import CSV extension. It shows up in the maintenance menu group under the Items and Inventory tab, but it is greyed out and inactive when you try to click on it (it's not an active link).

@Alaa, how did you get it to work?

@apmuthu your solution for creating a subdomain worked. I created accounts.mydomain.com and pointed it to the FA installation, then added the php5.6 handler to that .htaccess, and it now works independently. Thanks.

This is a very useful extension that is incompatible with the new upgrade. Could it be fixed? Actually, almost all the extensions are incompatible with FA 2.4.

I am having a problem running frontaccounting ever since I changed my CMS to wordpress. It appears wordpress is using PHP 7 and calling it in my .htaccess, but FA will not run correctly. Half the time I am getting white screens and the other times I get these three errors and pages refuse to work.

Deprecated: Methods with the same name as their class will not be constructors in a future version of PHP; cart has a deprecated constructor in /myaccountsfolder/sales/includes/cart_class.inc on line 24

Deprecated: Methods with the same name as their class will not be constructors in a future version of PHP; line_details has a deprecated constructor in /myaccountsfolder/sales/includes/cart_class.inc on line 650

session_start(): Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at /myaccountsfolder/sales/includes/cart_class.inc:24) in file: /myaccountsfolder/includes/session.inc at line 29

The workaround is changing this handler in the .htaccess from:

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php70s .php

to

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php56s .php

When I do this both wordpress and FA work fine, but whenever I change a setting in the backend in wordpress, or post anything on the site (basically whenever I use the CMS) the .htaccess is reverted by wordpress back to calling PHP 7.

What do I do? I have tried all the changes listed by cambell but it still does not work (though I do not have this file in my FA directory:

includes/ui/ControlRenderer.inc

I am running FA 2.4 but this issue began before I upgraded and upgrading does nothng to fix it.

I don't think the reports are disabled, because if you select to output to excel it works. It's just that the print pdf feature is broken.

What I don't understand is that many people are currently using 2.3.25, how is it that there are such few complaints? I would think many people would be complaining about it. Or is it that generally people don't print out invoices and receipts? Is there anyone for whom this feature is working correctly in 2.3.25?

The official frontaccounting 2.3.25 demo page:

http://demo.frontaccounting.eu/

The official frontaccounting 2.4 RC1 emo page:

http://next.frontaccounting.eu/

Credentials are preloaded.

Goto Sales -> Customer and Sales Reports

Try print out any reports or receipts or invoices. It's broken.

On my company accounts, it broke when I updated to 2.3.25 within FA. I then deleted, did a fresh 2.3.25 install and found the same bug. I deleted it, reinstalled 2.3.24 and now I can print out pdfs with no problems.

Like I said before, without the ability to print out anything (reports, receipts, invoices, purchase orders, etc.) an accounting package becomes pretty much useless.

It's not popup blocking.

Goto the Demo 2.3 on this very website, try and print a PDF. The green status bar appears just like normal then disappears and nothing happens. No pop ups appear.

Not only that, its broken in the Demo 2.4 RC1 on this website as well!

Has anyone managed to resolve this? This is a very important feature which completely prevents the use of any version above 2.3.24. If nothing can be printed out, accounts are pretty much useless.

Hi. Thanks for your reply. However, the wiki page and the posts refer to problems sending mail. I don't have that problem, I just need the email sent showing that it's from info@mydomain.com.

The second link you referenced above seems to address this issue, but the posters are discussing code which I am not familiar with. I don't know how to code, I just need instructions to which file I am to go to and which line I am to edit and to what I should edit it to so that the emails read sent from info@mydomain.com.

Thanks-

Denis.

Hello. I'm having a slight problem with setting up the email. When I send a document, it appears on the other side with my domain host and username as email address. The recipient sees this:

From: mydomainusername@hostXXX.hostmonster.com

instead of

From: info@mydomain.com

How do I change this? I have already put the correct email in the settings.

Also, I would like to edit the signature of the email so that it does not contain the company address, but a custom signature.

Regards-

Denis.

This was a feature i extremely enjoyed when working with Microsoft office accounting. I have a business where I take pre-orders and then order everything on the 15th of each month. Is there a module or feature that will let me with a few clicks create purchase orders for respective suppliers that will automatically populate with all the items that are on back order? For instance, I have 10 customers who order different items. These items are all on back order and come from say 3 different suppliers. I would like to tell the software to reorder inventories, which will result in Purchase orders being automatically created for all the 3 suppliers with just the exact number of items on back order without me having to manually put items and quantities.

Thanks in advance-

Denis.

Hey Joe, thanks much appreciated! I must say, this is extremely an impressive piece of software. I have used many systems, my best was microsoft office accounting, and that had many bugs. But still it did not have half the features that this software has. I'm so excited I'll make a donation as soon as I finish my testing process. Well done to all the developers.

Cheers-

Denis.

Hello all. I have been playing around with the accounting software and so far I am extremely impressed. I have however run into some difficulty and not sure if its me or if its a bug, but I can repeatedly duplicate it.

I make an inventory item, call it item A. I then create a Sales Order Entry for a customer with a particular quantity of item A, say for example 10. Item goes on back order as expected. I then create a Purchase Order Entry, Receive Purchase Order Items, and as expected, the inventory updated to now show the items in stock. From here is where something interesting begins to happen.

1). If I attempt to make Delivery Against Sales Orders for the full amount (all 10 of item A), I can process dispatch no problem.

2). If I attempt to make Delivery Against Sales Orders as a partial delivery (say 5 instead of all 10), I can process dispatch again, no problem. HOWEVER, if I attempt a second delivery against the same order for the remainder of the items (5 remainder in my case), it automatically shows I have delivered before, and shows the number I need to deliver to complete, BUT when I hit Process Dispatch, i get the following error:

"This document cannot be processed because there is insufficient quantity for: [Item Code]"

This only happens on partial delivery. I have verified that the inventory items are on hand by pulling up a report, but the system just does not want to complete the delivery. Can anyone else duplicate this problem or is my installation bugged?

Thanks in advance.

Denis.
