I don't need help with installation or php, I can do that.  I need help in how to switch from using quick books to FA.

Our business uses a POS, and at the end of the day, we complete by hand a worksheet that lists total sales, sales tax, cash, checks, credit card sales, coupons, etc.  for the day.

I will be manually inputting this into FA and using FA to reconcile our bank account.
If you can help me accomplish that, shoot me an email, and let me know your hourly fees.

My email is rhodebump at gmail dot com

Thanks,
Phillip

I need to account for coupons that are used.  I can think of two options, and was wondering if someone could tell me which option was best.

Option 1:
Create a new item and link it to the GL account for 5060 "Discounts Received" and add it to the sales order

Option 2:
Create a new Bank Account called "Coupons" and create customer payments using this as the bank account.  The bank account would be linked to the 5060 GL account.

All thoughts are appreciated!

HI,

I am trying to create a sales order that will be paid via credit card.  I created a credit card GL account, but do not see this as an option when creating the sales order or invoice.

Thanks,

Hi everyone,

At the end of each day in our store, we complete a paper report (using data in our POS) that describes how much sales we had, tips to employees, gift certificates used, etc...

I am trying to enter this data into FA.  I am going to use a "New Sales Order Entry" to capture the entire days of sales into FA.  My question is that it is prompting me to create a Customer.  Should I create a "dummy customer" to represent in-store sales that come through the POS?  I see there is a way to create a "POS", is there a different process that I should follow to enter this data?

I am also looking for some guides on how to use FA in this fashion. I am willing to pay for a few hours of support as I get up and running.

Thanks.

Hi,

I am just starting to use Front Accounting, and trying to set things up.

We currently have two checking accounts for our business.  We will eventually close the 2nd, but for now, we do have two and have to reconcile both accounts.

When I try to add the 2nd bank account, I get an error, "The GL account selected is already in use. Select another GL account."

Any pointers on how to add this 2nd bank account so it can be reconciled?
Thanks,
Phillip

Hi,

I have a startup that I am trying to promote called "spotmouth".  One of the features that it has is that it allows any business to install and use their own instance of Front Accounting.  It just takes a couple of kicks to get it up and running with their own DNS name.

I was hoping that I could have some feedback on what I am trying to do.  Besides FA, I offer wordpress, mediawiki, and several other programs.  I am not charging anything, rather, I just want to create a network around providing good tools like Front Accounting to local businesses.

Thanks for listening.  I am open to being abused;)
