Yes, you should use a utf-8 editor, like PSPad. Also please download from the Download - Chart of Accounts 2.1. They are already translated.

It is because there is more demo data in the en_US-demo.sql file.

No, you can replace. It is just that you will need some data here to create new customers/suppliers/items etc..
You can change to whatever suits you.

re-order level can be entered in Items and Inventory, Reorder Levels. If the locations has an email-address, the location will get an email when stock is below reorder level.
Quantity on hand (QOH) = Quantity on hand today.
Re-order level = see above.
Demand = Quantity on Sales Orders - Quantity sent
Available = QOH - Demand
On Order = Quantity on Purchase Orders (PO) - Quantity received.

If the salesman is hired on a provision base, this is the percentage off his sales that he earns. If he reaches the Break Point, the percentage could be a new one.
If you don't use provision you can just ignore these fields.

You could have a pricelist with tax included in the price. On the final invoice there will be a line telling how much tax is included.

Did you choose 'Base for auto price calculations' in Company Setup? For instance 'Retail'.

When you print your invoices from the report centre, you can choose your bank account to put on the Invoice. Remember to fill in the information in Banking and General Ledger, Bank Accounts. Both the bank name and the account.
When printing from a print link, the first bank account is automatically chosen.

Hi,
The path should be:

There is always a problem converting from one Accounting system to another and especially customers/suppliers/items and inventory.
If you only have a couple of invoices, you can just reenter them in FA on the year before. While you have already sent these invoices to your customers you just leave them as is. When the customer pays in the new year, you just allocate these invoices and everything is ok. You should probably use the correct references for the invoices, to easyly find them.

I hope this helps you. You could also ask your auditor or an accountant what is the most common way of doing it in your country.

Hello,
The Standard Costs is the price that you are paying for the item. Every time Purchase Orders are received the Standard Cost is averaged.

If you are using en_US, there is a minimalistic chart of accounts in the SQL folder, en_US-new.sql file to use when creating new companies. If you think it would be better with an even more minimalistic one, you are welcome to create one and contribute it to the community.

It seems like a good idea, tom. We will consider this for the 2.2 release.

Hello tom,
The release (version) number is put in a global variable in config.php

$version         = "2.1.1";

Global variables are mainly put in config.php, due to that the databases are company based.

1. The form for cost update is in the tab Items and Inventory, lower right. This is a form for manually adjustment of material cost.
2. The decimals in 'Units of Measure' in the Items and Inventory overrides the global unit decimals.
3. No, but you can use the decimals in point 2 as a guideline.

When producing items the manufactured item gets it's material cost from the BOM items included eventually extra costs. These material costs are average costs based on the purchased items. FA does not use FIFO or LIFO but average material cost.

I suggest you create a module in FA. Look at some of the existing modules how they are setup. You can download them in the Download - Modules section. This module could belong to the Sales tab. The menu-choice could be 'Import SO from osCommerce' or something like that.
Using our API you could then write a script page and retrieve the SO's from osCommerce easily. Of course you will have to know the table structure of osCommerce and FA for doing this.
Because SO's don't create any GL entries, it is the best way to import the SO and from here create deliveries and invoices in FA.
I guess this sounds like a great task, tom.

If you need help doing this, please ask for it. There are several skilled developers here in the community.

But if you have different tax numbers, don't you have 3 different legal entities? I mean, you have to report your accounts to 3 different authorities, right?
And in that case you will have 3 different companies...

Hello eviking.
I've been in contact with norwegian systems and know a little about the implementation. Regarding the epayment, a special module should be created for norway inside the AR/AP tab.
Regarding the documents the layout is printed inside /reporting/includes/header2.inc. In your cases a special function inside /lang/no_NO/locale.inc can be used to be called for special occations.
So all in all it should not be that big a task. Unfortunately I am fully occupied, but who knows, maybe I could do some of the work.

There are other countries that uses the account code 2 for some reasons. Countries like Switzerland, Austria, Germany, Australia and Canada. For some of these countries this code is only for presentation and really not needed. But FA is not using it inside yet. It was meant to be used for generating special kind of reports. Will be available later.
