Good day All,
I am trying to implement the sales person commission in my office where for every service rendered, a commission is paid to the staff who does that. E.g. I have a salon and for every hairdo, the stylist gets a percentage of the payment. If I use the sales person, how do I know how much the sales person gets at the end of the month. I mean how do I get the report show the total amount of his commission. If this is not going to work, how do I implement it so I can generate the amount for every stylist at the end of the month.

thanks.

Thanks kvvaradha,

I am most grateful for your prompt reply. I will attach the report for you to see. Then I am thinking I will install the latest version maybe version 2.4.10 or 2.4.11 and get my opening balances and enter them and start afresh.

When I do this, do I still need to enter any standard cost or I just enter the purchase prices and the selling prices and let the software do the calculation for Standard Cost or I just enter a standard cost which can be changed say once or twice yearly.

With these scenarios, what will be the resultant effect on this very report "INVENTORY SALES REPORT". This report is very critical to our business as it tells us what Product is fast selling and what product we make good profit.

I will be expecting your reply.

Thanks

Thanks kvvaradha for your prompt response.

I know Frontaccounting uses Standard cost. Why do the Cost change over time when you try to get your Inventory Sales Report. This report is so valuable to me because it shows the performance of all products. they one that is fast selling and the one with the most profit.
So how do I configure it to make sure it adheres strictly to the standard cost or do I just leave out the standard cost. so It uses the purchase price and the selling price to calculate the profit per product or what do you think.

Since my installation has gone through several upgrade, do I do a new installation. In so how do I correct this nomaly?

Thanks

hello kvvaradha,

Thanks for the response. But I dont get it. How do i get cost update entry? Kindly assist cos after a while the inventory report begins to give negative profit margin. On the report you see the Cost far higher than the Selling price.

I will be waiting.

Hello Apmuthu,

Thanks for your reply.
I am thinking the problem with this report is due to the fact that I have been upgrading the software from version 2.3.6 to 2.4.6.
Is that the cause? if yes what do I do.
Do i do a new install and just pick the beginning balance for a for a fresh installation?

Kindly advise.

thanks

Good day All,

Found the Payroll module very nice and an added advantage for FrontAccounting. When I setup the Payroll module I discovered that in Adding an Employee, there is no payment Details where Basic pay, medical allowance, etc.

Moreso, when you create an Employee there are no extra tab with information about the employee. Did I not set it up well or what am I doing wrong? I am using version 2.4.10

Thanks.

Expecting a response.

Hello Apmuthu,

I am back again with the issue of Sale Report. I will show you the report for November 2021. It is show a negative Contribution (Profit per product). There are selected products that has this issue. I do not know why? It always brings negative contribution. How do I correct this anomaly.
How do I prevent this from re-occurring?
1. did I forget the standard cost i.e. make it zero so that the purchase price is used as cost?
2. do I always change standard cost whenever there a new purchase?

Now I need to rectify this. I need to file in the database that I need to manually correct these cost to reflect the true picture of the profit per product. This is crucial as it is used to know the product that performs well in terms of sales and profit margin.

thanks apmuthu.

expecting your response soonest.

Good Day All,

Migrating from another accounting system to Frontaccounting, I am confused about the beginning balances. Are we using BALANCE SHEET for the journal entry for beginning balance or TRIAL BALANCE.

Please Clarify.

Thanks

Hello Joe,

This is the error I get from Phpmyadmin when I try to import database to  be used by 2.4.7. #1062 - Duplicate entry '16381-10' for key 'PRIMARY'.
how do I correct this.

thanks.

Popsicles12

Thanks Joe.

Sorry to bother you a little. Is there a table in the database that I can correct this for the meantime as we use this report to check the profit margin per product and to know which product is doing well and the one not doing well.
Please.
Secondly, I wanted to install 2.4.7 fresh and import my database into it. but the database is large 150MB and it is complaining of timing out. I increase the timing in php.ini and now it is complaining of table duplication. The database in question is an update from 2.2. Any ideas?
thanks.

Hello Joe,

Could you Please attend to my question "Standard Cost Changes and as such result to Negative Profit in Report". I have been stock with the above problems.
Please help out. This errors is not allowing out books to balance. As where you are to make a profit, the software shows losses which is not supposed to be.

Thanks.

Hello Apmuthu,

Please could you kindly attend to my initial post before boxygen answer. As boxygen answer does not answer my question.

I updated from 2.4.3 to 2.4.7 thinking as you suggested that the negative figure for Contribution will be rectified. But after the update the problem still persist.
Present more problems have erupted as I cannot do Location transfer, I cannot void any document, etc.

What I need you to help me do is how do I eliminate the negative figure for the Contribution (profit) per product, How do I prevent it from happening in future?
Moreso, How come the system calculates a cost that is higher that your selling price. How can I stop this from happening?
How do I make this current update void documents and do location transfer.
How do I upload my database into a new 2.4.7 installs seeing that my database is very large 150MB.

thanks Apmuthu in anticipation of your prompt response.

Hello Apmuthu,
Thanks for your reply on rep304. I have upgraded from 2.4.3 to 2.4.7 but the problem still persist. I still have products that have negative profit due to the fact that the system calculated higher cost for the products.

My question is this.
1. How do the system calculate cost that it is now higher than the selling price?
2. How do i rectify this once and for all so that it does not reoccur again?
3. Do I need to put standard cost for all products or leave it blank?

Secondly, I try to upload the database of 130MB into a new installation of 2.4.7 but it is giving me database duplication error. I dont know why. It there another way to do this as I am using PhpMyAdmin cos from within Frontaccounting, it is giving me error. I suppose because the file is large.

Kindly help out apmuthu

thanks

Hello Apmuthu,

Thanks for your prompt response. I am using Version 2.4.1. I dont know whether it is a bug. For example, standard Cost is say 250 per item. Purchase price is 250 for like One month, and on the third month it is 257 and maybe after another one month it is 260. I expect normally that it will take up the purchase price. On checking the report I discovered a negative contribution.
I went into the database to check and discovered that the products that have negative contribution has a standard cost of 850 when purchase price has never exceeded 280 per item.
Why this?

thanks and expecting more clarification.

Hello All,

Thanks everyone for keeping frontaccounting flying higher. Kudos to Joe and his team.

There is this problem I have in frontaccouting.
1. When I generated the Inventory Sales Report, I discovered that the Cost is higher than the Sales therefore resulting in Negative Contribution.
2. The date picker on the Inventory Sales Report is not working

How do I correct this? Pls Joe & apmuthu kindly help.

Thanks

hello Joe,
Could you please help me resolve the question I asked apmuthu as regards getting the customer balances per location. That is getting the report of  customer balances and Aged customer analysis based on each location. He did help me to an extent but getting the filters into the rep101 and rep102 is what is remaining. If you can give me a clue or guide me through I will be most grateful.

Thanks in advance,

Thanks apmuthu for you reply. If you take a look at the customer balances and customer Aged receivables report, there is no option to select customer balances pee location. How do I insert this option in the report. Kindly assist.

Hello all,

I created about 3 locations for our 3 different warehouses. We have customers that are supplied by the sales reps of each warehouse. i.e. each warehouse has its customers.

I want to be able to generate their balances based on the location. That is if I am printing customer balances/ Aged receivable I should have the option of saying I want the report for only location 1, or location 2. Moreso if I am printing customer balances for all the location I should be able to have them group and totalled per location.

thanks.
