What are the correct procedures to create service items in FrontAccounting?

Any special setup required versus normal inventory sales?

Because the Linux server is outside my scope to modify,
It only installs en_US.iso-8859-1
and I could manage to modify the code to display the Chinese character and translate it well in the Homepage display.

Could we bypass the utf-8 locale restriction (windows system do not apply this restriction) to make it work in pdf generation just like Excel.?

As the inventory record could not be updated,
how could FrontAccounting  issue an invoice without bothering the inventory?

Is it the same things as invoicing for services?

Thanks in advance!

Sometimes, we need to post entries into different fiscal years.
This is common as we might make adjustment just after year end.

Now Front Accounting just give us one fiscal year active.
We have to change it back and forth in order to input the journal entres in different fiscal years.

Cou.ld it be better allowing at least 2 fiscal years active instead of one at the same time?

Besides, we might need to have a locking option on some period (not just the whole year, it might be one of the month end during the fiscal year) so that it would not be too easy for us to input some transactions in wrong period during the fiscal year.

Could this be done as we might not bother to close the fiscal year either?

Thanks for the FA Development Team in advance!

Some of the memo items do appear in Person/Items entres.

However, for the GL journal  entries, the memo items just don't appear in the Person/Items entries in the rep704 report (GL_transactions report).
Also, the comments memo items do not appear in the rep704 report.  .

Could the FA Development Team add it in latter release as it is useful as much as Person/Items?

Thanks for Joe's quick reply!!!

I'm now trying to put the front accounting into trial
and found it useful.

But I want to tweak some settings so that it is easier for accountants to enter the most common transactions.

e.g. printing it to excel is more useful than print it in pdf
so I want to put it into the default setting instead.
However I can't see how to do it myself as I'm not familiar with php class programming.

Also, GL journal posting should allow the memo items to duplicate the first entry to the rest so that we need not do it line by line.

The last point  is the comments memo is not visible in the GL ledger listing.
Pls add it as it is useful for accountants as we may just enter it and not put it in every line of memos entry.

Thanks for the FA Development Team in advance!!!

Is there no way but just restarting Apache to kill the cache of mo and po files?

How about changing the location of the po and mo files.

Solved the issues by seeing in another situation that
pdf file is not displayed or created properly.

When your pdf report or excel report do not open,
eg.:-
just blank screen and no pdf display

or just giving in the screen

The answer is quoted from Joe for reference

Enter the config.php file with an editor and set
the $go_debug variable to 0
(when this is 1 FA prints the instructions to the pdf engine instead of the pdf file).

It really works!!!
