In Company setup there are two parameters regarding tax

Put alternative Tax Include on Docs
Suppress Tax Rates on Docs

Does anyone know what are these parameters for. ? They don't seem to affect the Tax on Docs by all means. Are they still being used? For what? Appreciate your guidance.

@yyI20

What is your own way format of reference? Give example.
If you want enter the reference manually then go setup->Transaction Refences and Edit the Transaction Type and delete the Reference Pattern and insert a space instead. This way you will be prompted to enter your own reference.

For those who do not want to use Arabic specific fonts, a way around this is write Allah this way اللّه ِALEF LAM LAM SHADDAH HEH. This will be understood by most Universal Fonts that support Arabic.  عبداللّه

Which font you are using. ? So it shows OK on the screen but when you print its not? You might need to separate عبد and الله treat them as two separate words.

@khan
The below shows the available Arabic Fonts from FA Website:
https://frontaccounting.com/wbt/pages/download/downloads-for-release-2.3fonts.php
These fonts are TCPDF fonts. Its is meant for printed reports and are defined in ./reporting/includes/class.pdf.inc.
Three things in mind when using languages fonts in FA. Fonts in FA are  used in three sections of the application.
1) Display of menus, tabs and other on screen and are defined in the template .css (i.e default.css if using default theme). These are usually a .ttf files. On the net you will find thousands of Arabic .tff fonts that you can use in your .css theme.
2) The print fonts or TCPDF fonts are available from the FA download above.
3) A special  font for the FA Dashboard for displaying Arabic in graphics is also available from FA downloads at
https://frontaccounting.com/wbt/pages/download/downloads-for-release-2.4.php
These can also be used in .css themes. The need to define these fonts in FA  for dashboard graphics is now not needed starting from 2.4.10 because of the new dashboard.

Having said that you can use a utility to convert .tff fonts into TCPDF fonts and use for printing.

Example. I live in Dubai and a popular font here is dubai.tff font which I download from dubaifont.com. I use this font in my default.css and it works great. Then I use an online utility to convert this font to TCPDF which I use for printing reports. Now I have the display and print to have the same font.

@poncho1234 helped me a lot in working out my .css and TCPDF. A discussion was as below:

This subject has been discussed many times. One was initiated by me.
https://frontaccounting.com/punbb/viewtopic.php?id=7951
Many other posts with different schools of thoughts can be found in this forum. Why and why not to change an invoice is a matter of company/regulations ..etc..policy. I guess our FA developers prefer to void and reissue instead.

Please dont mix issues with different subjects on the same forum thread. You started with Entering a New Customer and you Ended up with editing invoices. Better to keep them separate so others can benefit from the solutions.

Ok that makes more sense. Now for another problem. My tax calculations were not the same as the governments assessment. What do I do with the difference. It’s likely never going to be used up.

If you are 100% sure of your figures and that you paid more Tax than what the Authority wants from u, then Claim it. Or keep the difference in accrued tax account and pay next Tax periods from it until its fully consumed. That is if the Accrued Tax Account Balance shows a debit.

I ran into another issue.
I pay a state tax that we never do anything with.

Sorry did not understand the statement.

But since you are quoting Canadian System this is what the wiki say:

Hope this helps.
Using Tax on already added Tax (Some Canadian Regions use this)
Certain regions in Canada have a Federal Tax of 5% and a Provincial tax of 7.5% on already taxed items. Here is how you can handle that.

First create 2 Tax Types:
Federal Tax 5%, rate 5. Remember to include the 5% in the name.
Provincial Tax 7.5%, rate 7.875. (7.5 * 1.05). Remember to include the 7.5% in the name. You may need to increase the percent decimals in preferences. The value 1.05 is the value of Federal Tax + 1. If the Federal Tax was 6% this value would be 1.06.
Combine these two Tax Types into a Tax Group.
Find the variable, $suppress_tax_rates, in config.php about line 193. Change the value to 1. This will suppress the internal tax rate when printing.
That's it.

Hi,
The whole thing about Long Item Description started with this thread.
https://frontaccounting.com/punbb/viewtopic.php?id=8832
The user asked for it in Invoices and later in Quotation. The invoice part was implemented but never the Quotation part. So maybe someone from your side changed the code and implemented it in your 2.4.9. But as you can see its not part of the core FA. Only invoices are.

@Joe.. can this (Long Item Description on Quotations) be implemented with ease or we need to Wait?

Thanks

This thread might help. Also refer to the wiki mentioned in the thread.

https://frontaccounting.com/punbb/viewtopic.php?id=9622

Taxes both Payable and Receivables should be on the same category of the COA mainly Liabilities. You sell you increase your tax liability, you purchase you decrease your tax  liability. IMHO it should never be an expense. Otherwise it will mess up other accounting reports.

Any accounting gurus around to pitch in please????

Your environment seem OK. So what you need is a change in the code. Unfortunately I am only a user with no coding skills. Maybe  one of the gurus in this forum can help. You also can request it thru Wish List Forum and see if FA team can incorporate it.

It could be a php version problem. Please mention your environment setup. I believe php8 is not yet fully supported by FA.
Also ..are you using the Long Description with a different Language? One thing is I have never seen Long Description used on Quotations. It is only meant to be used on Invoices.

Try
Setup->Company Setup->Max day range in documents  Default is 180 days. You might need to increase it. Do not forget to press update after the change.

It must be a date entry related issue. IMHO
Are you sure you entered the right invoice date..sorry I could be wrong. Also what version of FA you are running?
Please don't mess up with editing the DB directly. You will never get around it..one will end up with a messy business overall.
