Hi Paul - now in English as asked by the moderator.

I tried to include es_EC.ISO-8859-1 in my "supported.d-local" file and after that the "reconfigure" gave no error.

¿Perhaps you have not installed the locale es_EC?

Try "locale -a" to give you the list of installed languages.  If es_EC does not appear, write :

sudo locale-gen es_EC

to generate the Ecuatorian locale and repeat the "reconfigure".

Hola Paul

Yo traté ahora en mi sistema de incluir es_EC.ISO-8859-1 a mi fichero

It is probably my lack of experience with MySQL.  My System Administrator in FA is the default 'admin'. I can make the grant all statement on the database in MySQL to this user, but I don't know how the FA-name 'admin' translates into mysql.  I have tried to grant the rights to 'admin'@'localhost', but that did not work.  I also tried to create myself as System Administrator in FA, but to no avail.  Any suggestions regarding who I should grant the rights to in MySQL to make the asset module to install correctly?

Well, I had already set the access.  But I still get the error message: DATABASE ERROR :
At file /var/www/frontaccounting/modules/asset_register/includes/db/assets_db.inc:30:
could not get all assets
error code : 1146
error message : Table 'WyM.0_asset_types' doesn't exist
sql that failed was : SELECT *, 0_get_asset_value(a.asset_id, YEAR(now())) as current_value FROM 0_asset_types at INNER JOIN 0_assets a ON at.asset_type_id = a.asset_type_id WHERE !a.inactive
To manually create the asset table in MySQL I would need to know the structure.

A solution to this retention question, even if a bit awkward, is to create an extra credit account defined as credit from the tax office, and from which the 1% is paid. This credit is set to zero each time the 1% is paid to the tax office. Only drawback is that the payment format under "purchase" only permits one source of payment, so it has to be done as two operations, first with the payment of the 99% with e.g. a check or bank transfer, and then a new payment operation for the outstanding 1% with a tax credit. A lot of paperwork, but at least it works. However, it might be easier to make a manual ledger entry.

Well I am doing that already in another programme.  I simply post the 1% as part of the payment but as a debt to the tax office and pay the rest by cash or cheque.
Thanks anyway - I shall figure something out.

Thanks for a quick response.
(i) Where in the set-up do I tell the system to post the VAT on the VAT account number?  I have been trying different options.  In the configuration-tax I have told the system, which accounts are used for invoicing and purchases and the VAT % (15 in Nicaragua), but I can see nowhere where the VAT account can be defined.  "Tax groups"? Or "Tax types"?
(ii) If sales are automatically defined as credits, I will obviously have to make another entry with the payment.
(iii) I shall see if I can find somebody who can give me hand with the php file for the invoice setup.  If I find a solution, I shall send it to you.

I can see this is an old posting, but my question is a bit similar.  I am looking at the possibility for using FA for back-office operations for a small hotel (17 rooms), we are constructing in Nicaragua.  For the frontdesk, I am looking at php-residence/Hoteldruid (also a LAMP based package).  I am doubting whether to invoice in php-residence (as clients are entered there anyway, when they make a reservation) and then enter these invoices manually in FA (as e.g. weekly sales), or to invoice directly in FA.  However, trying out the direct invoicing under sales in FA, I can see the whole thing is set up for a manufacturing or retail company.  And there are a lot of requirements for setting up branches and accounts for direct costs, that are simply not relevant, but without which you can't make an invoice.  So the conclusion is to invoice outside FA, or is there a short-cut?

Thanks for the tip. I have done the merge and now it looks better.  I shall send you the corrected / updated Argentinean .po file, when I have finished.  If you could then convert it to a Spanish (Nicaragua) one and put it on your site, it would be nice, as there are some idiomatic differences, so the Argentineans may not be completely happy with the update.  As I mentioned, I have not been able to create a functional es_NI .po file, so I am just working on the Argentinean one.

That link works, but it does not explain how to create a new language from an existing one.  The link that is broken is this one (On the fawiki page:https://frontaccounting.com/fawiki/index.php?n=Help.InstallUpdateLanugages) :

"If the language file you require doesn't exist on the Sourceforge server you can create your own .po and .mo files using Poedit as indicated here: https://frontaccounting.com/wbt/pages/download/download-languages.php Simply use Poedit to alter an existing .po language file where you wish to change it and save to your new language folder. Then update the language as above. "

What I have done, but I am not sure it is the right way, is simply to open the es_AR .po file in POedit and save it as es_NI.  Then install the es_NI locale and make it default.  FA seems now to use the es_NI file, even if it says that it is not installed (it is actually there in var/www/frontaccounting/lang and seems to be updated when I add new translation with POedit).
