On the Banking and General Ledger / Bank Payments screen, the inline item where you add the Account/ Dimension/ Amount/ Memo/ and add Item has a problem in the Bank recon tab.  I think this line item must be Person/Item and not memo. There is already a memo block at the bottom of the line transactions.

When you do the bank reconciliation and the banking reports, the inline memo item (Person/Item) is not displayed at all within the bank reconciliation. If you have entered something in the separate memo block, that will be displayed in the bank reconciliation.

The same is true in Bank Deposits. Also, two Memo items on the screen that I presume have an error when you do the reconciliation, VAT reports, and Bank Recon Report.

Unfortunately, I cannot upload screenshots here, which would have explained the situation better.

Would be appreciated if this can be fixed in future releases.

I have now updated one of my FA installations on PHP8 and got the following errors:

1. On 2.4.12 it did not email the invoice when the server runs on PHP8, when reverting to 7.4 it sends correctly. On 2.4.13  with PHP8, the email is sent, but only in text. The invoice is then also in text and no copy to the bcc field. Also now pdf attachment.

"Subject: Invoice AWI0152 from Aquilla "

Dear ,"

The client's name is not in the email,

The rest of the content sent to the client:

This is just one error that I have picked up.

When reverting back to 7.4 it sends it correctly, to the client but does not send a bcc email to the company.

I have done a direct invoice. The client has 5 branches, and the top one was used. Now I am trying to fix that by wanting to change the selected branch, but that is not possible.

Can also not change the order or the delivery note since it was auto-generated.

I then changed the branch in the database in the Customer sales and then in orders. Despite that, it seems that the branch is pulled through from the Delivery note. That seems to have changed since in the past you could fix the issue by updating the branch on the order.

Is there a way to find the auto delivery note and change the back there to get the correct address?

I now have to void the invoice, which hopefully will void the Delivery and the Order.

Then recreate the invoice, but is a lot of work for multiple line items.

Any idea how to fix this issue?

What is the final verdict on this?

Will it be fixed or not? Do I have to manually add the Rep709 every time?

PHP 8 on 2.4.12 Invoice printing and email issue. The invoice does not want to print or email.

It shows that it was emailed, but it is never received.

On print, it just hangs.

When I revert back to PHP7.4 it prints and email.

Please advise.

This has been fixed and committed to stable repo.

A fixed file can be downloaded on Mantis.

Thanks for  reporting this smile

Joe

In the latest update in 2.4.11 the same bug appears again. I have now downloaded this from the old issue that was fixed from Mantis.

This does not resolve the issue. It was resolved once in one of the previous versions. Maybe it is in another post.

Thank @advocate. This topic was started before the other one and there was no response. So I did not search for others.

Thanks, Joe. It seems that it is solving the problem.

I have checked now on a new installation of 2.4.11 and the problem with the Invoicing is still the same.

The Quotation now problem, the order, no problem, the delivery note, no problem. The problem is only on the Invoice?

The Invoice number displays correctly in the browser when you have completed the transaction and the email confirmation that the email was sent.

In the email header received by the client and the copy to admin, it shows Invoice 0 (instead of the invoice number). This must b a problem with $subject since the problem does not occur with Quotation nor, delivery or orders only with Invoice.

Please advise what to check?

No, I have upgraded from 2.4.09. 

What is the new format?

My format is what it normally was as indicated above IN0012354. What must change to resolve this?

Followed the process above. Now get this when you want to void the delivery after voiding the Purchase invoice.:

The void cannot be processed because there is an insufficient quantity for item.

Hi Apmuthu

I just upgraded to the new version from the previous version. In the previous version, it would add the Invoice number. After the upgrade, it no longer adds the Invoice number just puts a zero.

It is not just recurring but all invoices, even the new direct invoices that now have "Invoice 0" (this should be the invoice number for example IN0012354) )  from "My Company Name" (which is correct).

Why is it now not picking up the invoice number in the email heading and the email body?

The Invoice number on the PDF attachment is correct. The email also does not enter the client name it just states "Dear," (No client name). Previously it would read "Dear Wynand,"

When you email a recurring invoice or new invoice created it shows in the email heading the following:

Invoice 0 from Mycompany

In the content it reads:

Dear,

Attached you will find  Invoice 0 from MyCompany.

Before the upgrade, it displayed the actual invoice number. After the up[grade the above is displayed.

HI

After updating my current site, template "Blue Collar" is no longer displaying the summaries for the clients, outstanding invoices etc on the different tabs. Thought it was a php8 issue, but it makes no difference since I have only changed the PHP after the update was completed.

I have then changed to Canvas which is working. On canvas what must be activated in the Access setup on the accountant profile to be able to view the dashboard?

One thing for sure..stock FA 2.4.x does not support Tax on Bank Payments, deposits..etc..

The question is why not, since in RSA the banks charge VAT on all their baning transaction fees and account fees. There is no other way that these VAT can be incorporated into the TAX Report since it is only displayed on your bank statement. No separate VAT invoice is issued by the bank.

I can understand that it is not all banking transactions, but when you create a quick entry with VAT inclusive for bank cost and account fees, all of that is automated. Just enter the amount.

Any other transaction that happens once-off, who is not a customer or supplier will be handled the same way, although you have an invoice as proof.

Hi Joe,

I am on 2.4.9 and I do not see this selection on the trial balance report. Why would that be?

(Do not worry, found it on the drill-down, not the report.) Thanks

It seems that this bug has now reared its head again with the last update for report 709. TAX Report. The new one is not incorporating the VAT on bank costs from the bank accounts payment. Reverted back to the previous version of 2.3.25 report.

I have been watching this module developed over a number of years. I have not used it to date, since I do the records for these assets in a macro excel spreadsheet with all the individual assets, classes, venues etc. and just enter the accumulated depreciation and depreciation for a particular year.

Now that FA has developed this module, and I want to import 100's of assets from the previous excel spreadsheet, it seems that somehow it will be quite a complicated process to add these assist one by one, into FA. Some still have depreciable values whilst others are already at Zero.

This seems to be too much of an effort to add these hundreds of individual assets.

Thanks
Any alternative suggestions that we could add to the wiki for the take on of existing assets.

Braath, I think you are correct. I will test again with the view of the transaction open, then edit and see what it does. I suspect that might be the problem.

Thanks will watch for that.

Is there a way that one could transfer a credit amount from one customer to another customer?

For example, if the customers are related companies, and Company nr 1 have a credit amount and company nr 2 have an outstanding debit balance. The customer gave written permission to allocate Company 1's credit to company 2.

Will appreciate your help since the normal Journal entry are not capable of doing that, since it does not post to specific customer only to the Debtors Control Account.

It only happens when you edit the Customer payment date. It should normally retain the original reference number, but for some or other reason the reference number stays in the system upon editing and when you want to save the payment after editing or change to a different customer, the system gives the error that the reference number already exists. It is not always, or it may be on second change.

If you have already reconciled the payment, the system will unreconcile the entry after saving the change.

Hello, guys.

For example one of my customers has an invoice of $1000 but he prefers to pay the extra amount and keep it in the system for future purchases.

When I register the invoice payment I enter a $3000 instead of $1000, does the system keeps the extra credit in the system and notify me when the customer purchases again that he has credit where I can still the payment from?

Your advice is highly appreciated.

Yes, you can. Do normal Customer Payment. Add the $1000 amount next to invoice for the outstanding amount. The balance of the $2000 will be added to "Amount" and change the $1000 to $3000. The $1000 will then be allocated to the invoice and the balance will show as a credit.

On the issue of the next invoice for the customer: Go to Sales/Transactions/ Allocate Customer payment or Credit Notes and allocate the balance against the new invoice.

Trust this will help.

Then change
