You can create a service item called Discount. Use each as uom. Create an item tax type with total tax exempt and put this on the item.
Then you can enter a Discount item with negative amount per item.
That's it.

This change was done by mistake. Please use an editor, open the file version.php and change the $db_version to '2.4.1'. this will be committed to the repository in a while.

The tarballs at Sourceforge.net have been replaced, so you can also download a new file. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Now I recall the flag. It is in the user preferences. Left pane. Save Report Selection days. If you set this to 30 days, the report selections are saved for 30 days.
Maybe this can be used.

There should be a a variable for saving the last report selections. I cannot recall which. I am not in office right now.

Joe

Thanks for pointing this out.
We are no longer supporting release 2.3, but for those still using it they could just set the value $use_costed_values to 1 instead of 0 in config.php.

For backwards compatibility in 2.4 we will just change the value $use_costed_values to 1 in config.default.php, so all new users will automatically get this option.

Should they prefer the old method for some reason, they can set this value to 0.

Thanks @boxygen for helping with this.

Will send this to Janusz.

Are you updated with the latest repo build. I vannot reproduce this error, either on screen or in rep601.php report.
Everything is ok.

However we are planning an upgrade to 2.4.2, due to a couple of bugs.

/Joe

We will have to consult Janusz with this. I will.

Ok, sorry my mistake. Then it is per default set to 1 in the sys_pref class. That is to say that the $SysPref->use_date_picker is set to 1 per default.

/Joe

Sounds great.

In 2.4 all the global defined variables in config.php is assembled into the global $SysPrefs variable, so the name of the global variables is now $SysPrefs->use_date_picker. Then we only need to declare the $SysPrefs variable as global.
However if you are using the old $use_date_picker in an extension and you declare this as global in your routines is should work adequate.
For simplicity we have surrounded the new global members by macros, like user_use_date_picker();

There should be no occurrencies of the old $use_date_picker in the core, besides the one in config.php.

Please don't use this anouncement forum for this.

However the issue has been fixed and the Repository is updated.

/Joe

Yes, but if you want to select a period less than a month this will not work. For those who absolutely want this to work on a monthly base, then it could be done this way.

Joe

If the year ends in 28.2 then it will always end in 28.2. this will always be a tricky case and I guess the Auditors will agree on that. I have never heard about a fiscal year ending on 28.2 just because of the leap year problem.

Janusz will have a look at this. Sounds like a good idea.

Joe

I guess we will let Janusz look into this.

Joe

I think I will commit these files now. I have tested them without any problems.

Please set the variable, $go_debug, in config.php to a value of 2 to trap some errors.

Yes, you are right. The internal variable was not zeroed out before use in the Suppliers. Thanks for detecting this.

It will be committed asap to 2.4 stable repo.

In the meantime you can download the /includes/dashboard.inc and replace it in your setup.

/Joe

@nashirbadu

Did you get the time to test these 2 files. It would be nice to commit them asap.

/Joe

The implemented algorithm is the fastest way of doing it. In C/C++ these check are internally converted to assembly instructions of one line.

Still, I am waiting for test result before committing it to 2.4. And as told, it is possible to use the files in 2.3.X also as the code are the same in both releases and files. Only you will have to replace the files yourself.

/Joe

@apmuthu

No, the dates are correctly displayed in the excel report, and that is the main issue smile

And yes, it is possible to backport the files to 2.3.x, however we are no longer maintaining this version, so you have to do it yourself.

But just wait a while to hear if the files are ok for shipping!
