Had a quick look. Is it opensource?

I have no reason to hide smile. I'm too lazy to check whether the tax display was added in 2.3RC1 or later, but please look into next.frontaccounting.eu demo - tax is displayed during purchase invoice entry in last 2.3RC3.
Regarding rbnzl question I'm not sure what is the problem you want to cure. If you have multiply service items which are posted on the same GL accounts (including taxes) and you do not want to entry multiply barely used service items, you can set one generic service item with editable description. This way you can use it for any services posted in the same way, while the descriptions on entered purchase invoice will inform you about real service registered.

Thanks Janusz - a quick and helpful response as usual :-)

Thanks waverider I really appreciate you taking the time to reply.  We have nearly given up in frustration which would be a pity as I am a big fan of opensource software - but I have an office manager to convince.  I must be missing something - when I view or print the invoice there is no tax (NZ GST) - yet there is if I enter the item via Direct Invoice.  Similarly, if i look at the invoice via Purchases>Payments to Suppliers.  Does this mean I haven't set something up correctly?

No - you are correct.  I hadn't revisited this for a while and have just got into the habit of using direct invoices as this resolved most of my problems.  Now that I look at it again I remember why I am doing it that way ;-( Once it is set up it is actually pretty easy.  It would seem to me that if you don't need to identify the individual items then setting up a quick entry might be the way to go.  If you do identify sold items, then at some time you are going to have to type them in somewhere - it might as well be an item description that you can use again.  Otherwise some generalised item to cover a group of things.  I guess it depends on your business and whether inventory is important.

Regarding Supplier Invoice it does calculate taxes, however taxes are not displayed on screen for now. This issue is subject to change in 2.3RC1, I think.

Hey - where are you hiding Janusz.  Some info needed here :-)

3.  Enter the items one at a time in 'Supplier Invoices' but manually calculate the tax (hopefully correctly!).

As Janusz said it does actually calculate the GST - it just doesn't show up on the screen when you enter it. If you print the tax invoice after making the entry you will see that the GST component is printed correctly on the invoice. I was also hopeful that this would be fixed soon.

Hopefully someone can help.  Not being an accountant I sometimes find a problem I cannot resolve - this is one.
How do I enter a GST payment or other Taxation payment I make to the tax office? I am using the Australian Chart of accounts.  I guess I enter it as a payment, but what accounts do I use?  Sorry for the probably dumb ask :-(

Hello,
I had a problem with TAX application in Quick Entries and just wish to confirm that my findings are correct before I make an addition to the Wiki.

It is probably documented somewhere ( I couldn't see it in the Wiki) but it appears that in applying Quick Entry lines the order of entry is vital. This may well be obvious to someone with an accounting background but not to the likes me who are 'challenged' in this area. Now that I am aware of it, the logic is obvious of course.

If I place a Quick entry Tax line such as:
"Taxes added, reduce base     GST"
and then another line:
"Remainder     6930 Components "

everything works fine, but make the mistake of entering the Tax Line last:

"Remainder     6930 Components "
and then:
"Taxes added, reduce base     GST"

and the result is an increased base line rather than decreased.  I admit to making a rather stupid error, but perhaps it should be documented to ensure other similarly 'challenged' individuals don't make the same mistake - or at least indicate that the 'remainder' line must be last? 

Perhaps there are also other instances where order is important?

You can also define Quick Entry of type bank payment and use it for direct registering payment to costs and tax accounts.

There is no additional setting required, so if the theme did not appear in selector you have probably incorrect permissions set on the new folder, then  www server cannot read it.

Hi Janusz,
I have checked all permissions.  Folders are set to 755 and all files to 777 as are the original themes - so permissions appear to be identical.  Still they don't appear? I have exactly the same problem with the newwave theme - it doesn't appear either.

Using 2.2.8
I have unsuccessfully tried to install a new theme  from grayseries226.

I have uploaded the required folder to my server at root/themes but it does not appear in the Preferences> Theme selection box and I can find no instructions anywhere as to how to install other than uploading the Themes folder on the server.

There must be more to the installation process so that it is accessible?

thanks

This is simply because payment is not subject to taxation. The taxes are collected or deducted on sales invoice issue or purchase invoice receive respectively.
Janusz

Thanks Janusz,
So this means that even for cash items such as buying toothpicks for $2.20 ;-) I need to first create a purchase invoice and then make the payment?  Is there no 'single step' method for cash purchases?  I am not an accountant obviously :-)

At menu item 'Purchases' there is no 'Purchase Invoice' entry only 'Supplier Invoice'  Entering items into a Supplier Invoice doesn't appear to  calculate GST component either ( no amount showing under GST(10%) after an item is entered ) even though the Tax Group shows as GST ?

Hello,
I am using 2.2.8
I have set up GST with GL accounts for 'GST paid 'and 'GST received', and all my tax groups etc.  Each supplier has been set for GST to be applied. 

However, when I make a payment to a supplier either through: Purchases >Payments to Suppliers or: Banking and General Ledger> Payments, the 10% GST portion of the payment  is not being calculated and recorded in the appropriate GL account.

Where do I check to find why this is not being applied?

Thanks

It would appear that the extra line also appears in the Direct Invoice entry page.  I can't find where this extra tax line is coming from.  I there a setting somewhere that determines what tax lines appear on an invoice?  Where is this setting?

Thanks

Hello,
Could someone please point me to where the lines 'Included Tax' when printing an Invoice are coming from?
I have 2 tax lines being printed just  under 'Shipping' at the bottom of the invoice - one showing included tax at 5% and the other 10%.  I do not require the 5% line but can't find where it is coming from - I assume somewhere in header2.php but I can't find it.

Thanks

Ah - yes! Thanks Joe. That works perfectly.
Is there some reason the the default is to include banking details on a Quotation? My clients would only pay on Invoice so it would seem redundant information - but maybe others have a reason for this?

Unfortunately that has the same effect on Sales Invoices, where I do want the bank details to appear.  I want to remove it from Quotes but not invoices.

Hi all,
Using 2.2.8

When I print a quotation it includes my bank details at the bottom. This is really superfluous information for me on a Quote.  I have searched reporting>includes> doctext.inc , doctext2.inc and header2.inc but can't seem to locate where the instruction to print this information on quotes is located. 

Could someone please point me to the location of the code?

Thanks

It looks like I have resolved my problem.  It appears that when loading a logo the system establishes a path, which in my case wasn't done as I simply copied the image into the folder.  Reloading the image through the company setup has resolved the issue and PDF's are now displayed correctly.

Hello all,
I have just installed FA 2.2.8 onto a new server.  I transferred my Company files and loaded the database from my 2.2.7 installation.  Everything appears OK but when I try to print an invoice from 'Sales>Inquiries and Reports>Customer and Sales Reports>Customer>Print Invoices'  I get an error:
   
TCPDF error: Can't open image file: ../company/1/images/logo.png

The file exists and permissions are OK. 

I've missed something somewhere :-(

Jagas,
The project sounds great.  I would certainly be interested.  I checked out your website and it appears that the project shows a lot of promise. Echoing bruzerger's comments, I would certainly be supportive if it were Opensource - I would see the $100 as a good R&D investment for such a project.  Perhaps you could let us know?
