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.

Re: Delete old customers (8 replies, posted in Accounts Receivable)
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?

Re: barcode (9 replies, posted in Reporting)
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.

Re: Delete old customers (8 replies, posted in Accounts Receivable)
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.

Re: sales_order_ui.inc has a bug (13 replies, posted in Report Bugs here)
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?

Topic: Bug in Direct Invoice Entry - Item selection box reverts Item Code (1 replies, posted in Accounts Receivable)
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.

Re: After Closing FY, All profits added into Expenditure Account (18 replies, posted in Banking and General Ledger)
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.

Re: Account Number (6 replies, posted in Wish List)
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.

Are you all getting this error in your reports or in the screen display / drilldown view itself?
@joe: Has the BS/PL got their Cr/Dr switched on closure of Fiscal Year?

Instead of changing FA core operations, try to change the Balance Sheet report to suit your needs.

Re: After Closing FY, All profits added into Expenditure Account (18 replies, posted in Banking and General Ledger)
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.

Re: Cost Of Service in FA 2.4.6 only after Sales Invoice posting (2 replies, posted in Items and Inventory)
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?

Which field in FA do you want to use as Barcode and what code type of barcode do you want?

Re: Bar codes - scanning, printing, recording and generating (3 replies, posted in Items and Inventory)
Once the Barcode type and value field are ascertained, you can use TCPDF to generate them as needed.

Re: Easiest way to enter items with sizes (4 replies, posted in Accounts Receivable)
Create a separate independent form that suits your need and then submit it as separate entities into the standard FA Form. A sort of POS to dovetail into your FA.

Re: cannot receive items in Receive Purchase Order Items (3 replies, posted in Accounts Payable)
In the sql/en_US-new.sql standard chart, the fields with the word description in them are defined thus:
# grep description en_US-new.sql | grep -v KEY
  `description` varchar(60) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
  `description` varchar(60) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
  `description` varchar(60) DEFAULT NULL,
  `reason_description` char(100) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
  `description` tinytext NOT NULL COMMENT 'usage description',
  `description` tinytext,
  `description` tinytext,
  `description` varchar(60) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
  `description` varchar(200) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
  `description` varchar(60) NOT NULL,
  `supplier_description` char(50) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
  `description` tinytext,
  `description` varchar(60) NOT NULL,
  `description` varchar(60) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
  `description` varchar(60) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
  `description` tinytext,
  `description` varchar(50) DEFAULT NULL,
  `description` varchar(60) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
  `description` varchar(200) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
  `long_description` tinytext NOT NULL,
  `description` varchar(200) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
  `long_description` tinytext NOT NULL,
  `description` tinytext,
  `description` varchar(60) DEFAULT NULL,
  `description` char(50) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',In FA v2.5 alpha, it may be useful to classify the description field differently and standardize their field length / type uniformly.
In the following files that refer to supplier_description, there is no truncation occurring in the code (except where function text_row() is used):
inventory/purchasing_data.php
inventory/includes/db/items_purchases_db.inc
purchasing/includes/purchasing_db.inc
purchasing/includes/db/po_db.inc
reporting/rep209.phpHence, a mere increase in field size is sufficient ordinarily.
However, where a form field restricts input size / max width using the function text_row() defined in includes/ui/ui_input.inc, changes in 4th (size) and 5th (max width) arguments will also be needed. This is so only in the first file listed above.
