(The Mantis is still not showing categories so i the post goes here again..)

Is there an option to disable the prices and payment terms from an delivery note?

Where the line above was working, not it isn't anymore.

Can anyone test and see if it works for them?
Or give me a single line, i'm sure i'm forgetting just a little detail.

When you turn Search Supplier List in Company setup on, you can't edit the current suppliers. (trough, purchase --> supplier)

ps. I wanted to post this item in mantis but there are nog categories defind under frontaccounting 2.1 And since it is an restricted field, i can't post anything

Hey guys,
is the 2.2 still supposed to be released before the end of the month?

If the built-in value is of type 'Assets', 'Liabilities' or 'Equities' this is of type balance sheet (right?)
/Joe

Here the major part of Europe use only Balance and Profit and loss as a classification, we do NOT use Assets  Liabilities or Equities.

The current implementation of classes is unusable in our part of the world.

Joe,

this is not backwards compatible.
Backwards compatible means that the user, can use his old data in the new structure.

I did an update from 2.1.2 to 2.1.4 and i can't find the Balance yes or no.
Well you deduce it from the current class type but that's not an option.

I have placed the old style back to 1 but still I see class type instead of balance sheet.

The problem here is that 1 person claims that this should be done, and 2 persons already pointed you out that it is NOT an option.

Still everything is changed to "the new style" and it is NOT functional for us.
As I already said this is a real showstopper.

The biggest point of all is, that previously with the balance sheet, you could fill in anything you want, and specify it to your personal / country needs.

That way you could also set it up to work following IFRS or IAS standards!!!

Now you took it all one level back, and made this IFRS / IAS the standard, without the option to set your own!

We really went one big step back, from totally user configurable to preset settings.

Please change it back, this way we can't use it anymore.

Joe,

I took a look in the database, to check what happens behind the screen.
Here i saw that the database really has changed.

in version 2.1.2 we had a 0 or a 1 for chart class --> balance_sheet

in version 2.1.4 this has become a 1 to 6.

I have done an update from version 2.1.2 to 2.1.4 and now in frontaccounting itself, I see that the accounts which where previous a 1 are now assets (still 1 in the database). And the accounts which where previous a 0 are now empty in FA (still 0 in the database).

How can these account types be empty!

This is a real showstopper, the software is now completely unusable for our clients and our own company.

Joe,

also we can not use frontaccounting anymore from version 2.1.3 for the same reason pete and bruzergear already announced.

your last reply states that is optional, what do you mean?
is there an option to "turn it of" or revert back to the 2.1.2 setting?

Jack

Joe,

when you do a test  yourself, you get a positive result?

I have installed 2.1.4 but still no good result.

Frontaccounting still gives me the green ok message, that the mail has been sent.
And I am still able to sent an e-mail trough the php mail using a simple php file to test it.

Is there any way to figure out where it goes wrong?

Is there anyone else, who can confirm that it does work?

How about you ask your chinese to pick an ordinary name?

You could try to change the default iso to UTF8
I think the only way to do is, is by reinstalling.....
and before install set system locales to UTF8

Joe I don't have any idea on that..
But I think it would be nice to make some testmail system.
That way users can verify that mail can ben sent out.
(Just a mail with simple text to confirm delivery)

I have tested with a very little php mail script to find out if thats working, and it is.
So php mail seems to not be the problem.

I did a clean install of Frontaccounting (2.1.2), to test it again.
Fa gives me the "mail sent correct" message, but nothing happens.

So what else can i try to fix it?

When  I select Yes at the e-mail customer option.
(in the frontaccount/reporting/reports_main.php screen)

I get a green message that the invoice has been sent to the customer.

But i don't receive any mail at all.
Should I setup the mail client somewhere?

Tom, we await the new version!
I appreciate the add-on you made!
Makes FA just another bit more usable.

Joe,

in fact that did the trick!
The GZ file gives no erros, and the zipfile (same verion 2.1.3) does give erros.

So there seems to be a difference between these 2.
I used meldiff to check for changes in the PO file, but these are 100% identical.

I want to find out where the differences are, do you have a clue?

There is a difference in number of files, but in fact that shouldn't matter.
There are 2 files which are NOT included in the zip version:

sql/alter.sql
sql/alter2.sql

Joe, Yes I did, in fact those settings were already fine.

I think it would be a good feature to adjust the "Import items" module in such a way that it is possible to import Foreign Item Codes.

I think it will also be fine if you have the option to import more than one foreign item code. for example 3 for every imported item.

After setting up POedit as described on the FA website (in the download section).
I setup the path to my FA root.

Then I open the empty PO file which is included in the FA lang folder.

Now I choose to update from source, and it gives me the next error(s):

/tmp/poedit6MEY7L:10286: internationalized messages should not contain the '\r' escape sequence

Joe great feature....

but 2 questions,

1. Where and how are the documents stored? (database, directory?)
2. Will there be a feature where I see a link in other parts of the program if a document is added?
(If you now attach mutch documents, it will grow 1 big list.... I would love to see a link on for example my invoice)

No, but it should create it automatically if it doesn't.

Looking into the PHP code, I found this rule:

                // type, item_code, stock_id, description, category, units, qty, mb_flag, currency, price

So it also needs a Type and an item_code.

when i try this rule as CSV:
127; Item211; MyCat; each; B; ; 300;

It doesn't work.

But when I add a type and item_code like this:
ITEM; 100; 127; Item211; MyCat; each; B; ; 300;

it does work and import...
But if this was supposed to be added, then it would be described in the manual file which is included.

I was testing the CSV importer, which can be found on the FA site under modules.

Name of the Module:
"Import CSV Item file"

After (what seems) succesfully adding the module, I createx a txt file with the following lines:

id; description; category; units; mb_flag; currency; price;

21; Item21; MyCat; each; B; ; 300;

22; Item22; MyCat; each; B; ; 200;

23; Item23; MyCat; each; B; ; 300;

24; Item24; MyCat; each; B; ; 200;

25; Item25; MyCat; each; B; ; 300;

26; Item26; MyCat; each; B; ; 200;

(I have also tried without the first index rule)

After "importing" the file i get the next message (in green):
"0 item posts created, 0 item posts updated and 0 sales kit components added"

I also found out that no mather what file i select, i always get that line in green.

The problem is it's not working, and nothing is imported.
Because I don't get any errors, what further can i check to get this going?

Well tom I can answer you that, since i'm all into finding out printing now.

Frontaccounting has a very nice support for printing profiles, which means you can add like more than 1 printer.
Now you can select a standard printer for a type of report.
For example, you can select the printer at the checkout for sales orders.

So you could also choose to print inventory reports @ the storage area.

This can't be done by using the browser's printer.
