The EAN8 barcode type is hardcoded in the reporting/rep303.php file in lines 327-329:

$barcode = str_pad($trans['stock_id'], 7, '0', STR_PAD_LEFT);
$barcode = substr($barcode, 0, 8); // EAN 8 Check digit is auto computed and barcode printed
$rep->write1DBarcode($barcode, 'EAN8', $rep->cols[$firstcol++], $bar_y + 22, 22, $SysPrefs->pic_height, 1.2, $style, 'N');

The default FA reporting/includes/barcodes.php file is from the TCPDF 's 1dBarcode library when used.

The reporting/rep303.php file however uses another library's extracted barcode functionality which supports only the following subset of formats:

EAN, EAN-8, EAN-13, GTIN-8, GTIN-12, GTIN-14, UPC, UPC-12 coupon code, JAN

Using another subset of TCPDF from a GitHub project for barcode generation is also feasible. This library is set to be PHP 5.4+ compatible but for backwards compatibility with PHP 5.3.x, just replace all instances of "= []" with "= Array()" in it's src/BarcodeGenerator.php file.

Sample code for using it in a standalone manner would be:

<?php
include('src/BarcodeGenerator.php');
include('src/BarcodeGeneratorPNG.php');

$generator = new Picqer\Barcode\BarcodeGeneratorPNG();
file_put_contents('src/files/081231723897-code128.png', $generator->getBarcode('081231723897', $generator::TYPE_CODE_128));
echo '<img src="data:image/png;base64,' . base64_encode($generator->getBarcode('081231723897', $generator::TYPE_CODE_128)) . '">';

The above will both generate a file and display it inline as well.

Delete branches first and then delete customer with no branch. Transactions may be pertaining to the first branch created when the customer was created.

Send it to ME :-)
I'll atleast update it in the FA24extensions repo which has some fixes over the years that others have reported or that which I just stumbled upon.

Whilst realising the method I mentioned above is too involved, an alternative way of looking at it would be:
1. Before closing a fiscal, make sure all "deletable customers" have zero balances with adjustment Journal Entries as appropriate.
2. Make a list of all such customers who then have zero balances for the year on closure using the Trial Balance before closing the fiscal.
3. Identify those customers chosen for deletion.
4. In the new year, after closing the previous fiscal, just attempt to delete the customer branches first and then the customer (is there any such option in the FA UI?).
5. Pray for the best!

@joe / @itronics: Making a provision to delete a customer with no transactions anywhere in the current fiscal will render the past records orphan - any good fix..... - maybe a check in all open fiscal years alone?

Setup => Company Setup => tick "Use Barcodes on Stocks" and optionally tick "Company Logo on Reports" if logo is present and desired.

Items and Inventory => Items => Add New Item
You will now see the EAN-8 Barcode which if clicked, will yield a random EAN-8 barcode

Any other barcodes you will need to make changes in the codebase and you can also use third party online tools to generate them like:

https://barcode.tec-it.com/en/EAN8
https://www.free-barcode-generator.net/code-128/

Items and Inventory => Inventory Reports => Stock Check Sheets => Select "Yes" for "Show Pictures" and optionally "Inventory Column" and now all barcodes will be listed.

Since you want code-128 barcode and one barcode per sheet with your fields listed there, just edit the Stock Check Sheets reporting/rep303.php file to suit your need.

If you need technical assistance for it, post your specs and bounty in the Jobs board and hopefully someone will assist you.

Your definition of "old" customers are those with no transactions for upto 4 years.
Look for persistent opening balances that have not been adjusted too in a long time.

1. check the debtors_master for full list of customers / suppliers.
2. check the debtor_trans for their old transactions to start with
3. then shortlist the ones that do not appear from a date 4 years ago
4. check if they appear in any of the various voucher types and keep only those which do not appear after a certain date four years ago.
5. Now these customers are in the crm_* tables and in the debtor_master and should not be in your recent debtor_trans table.
6. Copy these debtor_master and crm_* entries into an archive first
7. Now go ahead and delete the specific entries in their current db tables.

Many other tables like voided, gl_trans, cust_branch, etc., too can possibly sport remnants of such customers' transactions.

Make sure that the id of the fiscal years are in the same order as the year ranges themselves! Closing FYs will otherwise be a nightmare.

You may want to make a separate comment like entry below the tallied values in a different column so as not to confuse accountants.

Will need to revert this commit - see this post.

What is the purpose of getting the last_sales_order_detail() field (in this case, 'stk_code' which is the stock_id)? Byusing this commit, we are making the default choice of the Item description select box override the actual selection made in it. Should this be restricted to only those with editable description alone if used at all?

New FA 2.4.6+ install on Windows XAMPP 1.7.3, PHP 5.3.1, MySQL 5.0
Browser FireFox 52.9 ESR on WinXP SP3

Using sql/en_US-demo.sql Chart.

Sales => Direct Invoice
Changing the Item Code results in the next Item Description select box being correctly updated by Ajax.
Changing the Item Description select box momentarily changes the Item Code and then the Item Code reverts back to what it was along with the old Item Description appropriate to it.

Tested with and without Barcode enablement in Company Setup page.
Recent commits discussed in this post culminating in this commit may have something to do with it. Rolling back the said commit makes FA happy like before.

That is how it is expected to be.
PL will be clear and detailed only before closure.
BS will become clear by itself only after closure as the Profit/Loss gets transferred to it.

Alternatively, make a separate table that holds debtor_masters' primary key (debtor_no) matched to an account number in osCommerce in the latter and create a view that provides for direct import into FA from it.

This is how double entry accounting works. Financial Year closure means that all P&L are lumped together and transferred to BS from PL which gets zeroed out to start the new fiscal year afresh.

Make a Kit item of your "product and service" sold to your customer.
Since you know all the costs - landed cost - book it all a the price of the product bought from the Supplier.
Do not directly book the Supplier Invoice to the COGS. Do it through the Supplier Account where you can allocate the payments too.

1. Supplier Advance Proforma Invoice.
2. Advance to Supplier: Dr Supplier, Cr Bank
3. Cr - Import, Delivery, Custom Duties, etc,, Cr - Supplier for Direct Goods Cost, Dr. Purchases Expenses for Goods+Costs
4. Take into stock: Cr Supplier, Dr Stocks
5. (Optional) Allocate Payment to Supplier: Dr Supplier, Cr Supplier
6. Make Kit Item of Unit Goods and variable units of Install Service Charges
7. Invoice Kit Item to Customer - Dr Customer, Cr Sales
8. Payment from Customer - Cr Customer, Dr Bank
9. (Optional) Allocate Payment from Customer - Dr Customer, Cr Customer

@joe: anything more standard?

Once the Barcode type and value field are ascertained, you can use TCPDF to generate them as needed.
