So I must have entered them in Supplier and Not Banking by mistake...

I guess the simplest way to clear these is to enter a dummy invoice so I can allocate the payments...

Here is the GL for one of these.

Is this proper?

General Ledger Transaction Details     Reference     Date     Person/Item
Bank Payment #19     19     03/11/2010     Supplier United States Postal Service

Account Code     Account Name     Dimension     Debit     Credit     Memo
5100     Freight           10.20         163590742
1060     Checking Account               10.20

Ok... Did I do something wrong or what am I missing?

I have used Bank Account Payment Entry (Banking & GL -> Payments) to make a variety of payments.

I just clicked on Supplier Allocations (Purchases -> Allocate Supplier Payments or Credit Notes) and found a collection of unallocated payments!

Do I need to create an invoice for these?

tom

Right now there is one supplier email address.

I think there should be two:

1) Purchasing
2) Accounts Receivable

Thoughts?

Right now when I make a payment and Email the remittance it goes the same place as the Purchase Orders.

Ok that helped.

But this is odd.

If I run Detailed Customer Listing with JavaScript enabled I get the Error Triangle.
If I disable JS, it opens a new Tab in my browser (FireFox) and completes.

BTW it generates a 289 page PDF file.

What causes this? The Timeout Value? How do I extend it?

How do I fix this error when running a report?

Allowed memory size of 16777216 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 263560 bytes) in /var/www/fa/reporting/includes/tcpdf.php on line 5246

I was running Customer Detail Listing

How can we make that timeout longer?

On the reports I generally get a timeout and then I retry and it will work sometimes.

It is really a pain and if a longer timeout will allow it to work then I am happy to wait another 30 seconds!

Retry may be nice, but not needed at this point!

Glad I could help clarify this issue.

Joe, my thinking was that if you ran another bank account as a "Till" you would add all deposits your customers make to that account. Then you could run the currently non-existent Bank deposit report on the till. When you made a deposit to your bank which would satisfy their requirements and then create a transfer from the Till to your bank account which would enable the real bank account deposits to be reconciled. Still a bit of a workaround, but pretty simple and workable.

I do something similar with a Paypal Account and I might add the ability in FA to add a bank fee at the time of the transfer is a great asistance. Previously (different ssystems), I had to post a payment for paypal fees.

Itronics, I think the need for a bank listing report mechnism is still required to deal with debit card and credit card transactions. If you have a terminal from your bank to accept these payments electronically, they will be consolidated into one depost on the bank account. Most systems I have used have the concept of a payment type to suport this. So when you receive a payment you set the payment type and it is consolidated accordingly when posted to the bank to simplify reconciliation.

In my case, I have only written about 2 cheques in 4 months of trading and all of my deposits have been via Paypal or Direct deposit.

I might add that one system I used also had the ability to split off deposits so you could post one figure for say a week's sales and then split off the daily bank deposits from this gross amount when your book keeper came in for his weekly visit smile Thiswas the most awesome feature!

Rod,

We can already add a Bank Fee at the time of Transfer, look again.

You just pointed me at something that was bugging me with my Credit Cards.. Customer Payment != Bank Deposits.

Reading about I just realized that the account is not really non-existent, it is your "Merchant Account"

So run the payments into the Merchant Account and then transfer the Batch Deposit (w/Bank Fees) and you're set.

Rod,

I can help. I am sorry it has taken me so long to reply.

Let's talk directly.

That is not surprising.

Maybe we should add checking to the add/modify customers to check for ",;' and any other specials that are not valid in names.

Granted we could attempt to escape it which may be as simple as "lastname, firstname" but that could look odd to most people.

Maybe YOU can try entering the name that way, the email should accept it, I am not sure how it will look elsewhere in FA

I have been meaning to write a Summary page that gives more debug info.

Maybe it's time for that...

It sounds like you are having trouble accessing the osc database.

on line 123 of /modules/osc_orders/osCommerce.php do you have this?

$one_database = 1; // Use one DB

This was the problem for someone else, maybe I have the default set poorly...
What do you have it set to?

You can set the customerID range by changing:

Starting osC Customer ID:   
Ending osC Customer ID:

before you click [Import osC Customers]

I believe I have seen a Donations link somewhere.

You need to give yourself permission to use that module, Setup -> Access Setup

How do you check to see if any customers were created?

Tom

So the Sales Account: could be 4010 (Sales) or 4030 (Shipping and Handling) or maybe add a new one Wire Transfer fees(?)

What about COGS Account? should I use 5690 Interest and bank Charges?

I am sure it is not taxable

tom

What is the best way to add a bank fee (such as wire transfer fee) to a quote or sales order?

Last time I did one I added it to the shipping charges, but that does not seem right.

Should I create an Item 'WIRE FEE' but what GL accounts should I select for it?

Would I need to use the 'bank fee' field when processing the Customer Payment or would the GL codes from the Item handle it?

tom (programmer not accountant)

Go to Setup->Access Setup and select the role you are (Admin?) and enable the checkbox for osCommerce Customer / Order Import

tom

Ok I am not past 30 days old and should see changes.

My online banking shows current statement, then has selectors for each previous statement period.

tom

Well I am sure FA can do it.
In FA you will have 2 locations, 1- Online, 2 - Offline and you can transfer stock as needed between locations.

If you can handle having an item go out of stock online after the online order was made, then you could have ZC always take orders and if you ran out of something contact the customer.

Then you can still keep one location (Your physical inventory) which could keep it simpler.

I believe FA has reports for forecasting, I am not sure, I have not looked, maybe someone else can address that.

All I know is the osC (ZC basis) database

tom

I am talking about the default date range used by Bank Account Inquiry, not reconcile

I reset my database the first of the year.

My first transaction was 1/4/10

When I look at the bank account transactions start from 1/4/10 until now.

I just reconciled the account and it still starts there, shouldn't it start from the current statement period?

Or maybe the real question is when will it use a different date?

That fixed it

Thanks!

I would love to work with you and see if the osCommerce Import module I wrote will work with ZC or maybe a configuration flag to modify the SQL needed to extract the data
