Yes, it appears that if an item has dimensions set, this overrides the dimensions set in the Invoice.

Is this the anticipated use-case of Dimensions?

Actually, I wonder if the problem is that a Dimension 1 was added to the item being sold, but not a Dimension 2, and then the Invoice attempted to set both Dimensions.

Would that be an issue? I ask this with regards to the following code is sales_invoice_db.inc:

$dim2 = ($invoice->dimension2_id != $customer['dimension2_id'] ? $invoice->dimension2_id :
                    ($customer['dimension2_id'] != 0 ? $customer["dimension2_id"] : $stock_gl_code["dimension2_id"]));

Hi there,

When entering a Direct Invoice, my selection of Dimension 2 does not seem to be properly processed; the GL entries show Dimension 1 but Dimension 2 does not make it to the records, and when running a report based on that Dimension, the transaction does not appear.

There is additionally no opportunity to classify payments into Dimensions when receiving them.

I've done that, and now with the pre-built reports through Report Generator I get a variety of errors - some are strings not formatted an expected way, some are other PHP errors, and one of the reports still returns a simply blank screen.

I'm asking really if anyone has had the report generator working in 2.3.12; it seems that there's been sufficient enough changes in the codebase since 2.3.9 (which the module identifies with) to render the plugin useless.

I basically want a budget variance report - one that compares inputed budgeted numbers for this fiscal against actuals from last year. I know that I can do this in Excel with FA data, but even trying to do the report generates a bazillion errors that I can't immediately sort.

As a suggestion, I would recommend that the FA modules repository have a "compatible until" column that would act as a filter against the current version, to prevent installation of modules that don't work with the core code.

Hi all -

Does the Report Generator work with the current (2.3.12) version of Front Accounting? I have tried to run it, but because it seems that its SQL installation doesn't get run when it was installed via the FA extension manager, I had to run that manually.

Now, when I run a report, I just get a blank screen without input.  Thoughts?

Just in case this doesn't make sense - when you edit the GST item tax type, do not check GST.

Checking GST in Item Tax Type will exclude items with that tax type from GST.

- Edit the item under items and inventory. Ensure that it has the proper tax setting - ie, it has a tax type where GST is not excluded.

Hi all,

I'm looking into styling/modifying the login form, as part of a desire on my part to create a new theme that fits my design preferences a bit more, and I could use some help.

Can you provide some advice on how the login form is generated and what I can modify to change its output? I've tried looking through the .inc files to no immediate avail, but I can't sort the method that FA uses to generate its pages. I know that the 'renderer.php' in the theme folder has something to do with it-  would I find the login form there?

Thanks for your assistance.
