And how would we sell a fixed asset. I would like to provide an invoice to someone who purchased a used fixed asset that we disposed of.

Hi Joe

Never mind I have just found where that option is set, in case anyone else is wondering there is a new Tick Box under the items page. I had to select Labour from the drop list and then chose Editable Description and then update.

Thanks again for your help Joe.

Regards
Brett

Hi Joe  I think I may have found the change in code from 2.1 to 2.3 however I'm not sure how to fix it. Here is the only noticeable difference I can find.


if ($order->line_items[$id]->descr_editable)
            text_cells(null,'item_description', null, 45, 150);
        else {
            hidden('item_description', $_POST['item_description']);
            label_cell($_POST['item_description']);
        }
//        } else {
//            sales_items_list_cells(null,'item_description', null, false, true);
//        }

I can't figure out what it's actually doing though. It seems to think the description is not editable where is this set?

Could you possibly tell me where in the PHP file I should look or perhaps which PHP file I should try replacing.

Hi I have upgraded from 2.1 to 2.3 and now I am not able to edit my Item Description field anymore by just clicking the pencil.

It used to work fine but now when I do it I can only change the Qty, Price and Discount. I need to be able to change the Description on a Ad-Hoc basis so that for instance Labour I can then edit it and put down a description of the work completed.

Please help urgently I need to bill my clients.

I don't seem to be able to Edit invoices through the Customer Transactions Inquiry Screen. I only have the option to Credit Invoices.

I've recently updated to version 2.3.1 from 2.2 and now I'm having issues creating new quick entries or updating existing entries.

If I try to make a quick entry with Entry Type of anything other than Journal Entry I get the following error.

DATABASE ERROR : could not insert quick entry for TEST
error code : 1366
error message : Incorrect integer value: '' for column 'bal_type' at row 1

It doesn't seem to be setting the Integer Value to 0 for the 'bal_type'
I've looked at the gl_quick_entries.php file but I can see where it is set.

Thank You so much Joe.

That is exactly what I needed no more having to go into the MYSql and add spaces to make everything look good.

Well that fixed my other problem i was having where the last line of text of the wrapped description would be stretched out and the other lines had smaller font.

But it still cuts words in half for instance this is one of my descriptions:

Connected to second computer and w
aited for data to copy over. Put HDD bac
k into server and packaged up for the cou
rier.

Why cant it be made to look like this:

Connected to second computer and
waited for data to copy over. Put HDD
back into server and packaged up for
the courier.

It just seems to ignore the spaces and just chops the line at 50 characters.
I've been looking and found a php function that can wrap lines of text at the last space so can this be changed in FrontAccounting.

I am having a problem with long item descriptions not wrapping whole words.
For example it will just put 50 characters per line then chop words in half and put them on the next line.
I can't seem to find the php function which is causing this and how can it be fixed.
I use the item description to enter in what I did for the labour portition of my job.

I have removed the accounts folder off the server and put it back on and run the installation again. Now it looks like I can modify items fine and the little javascript loading thing at the top works, but it doesn't seem to work on the customers screen.

The rotating arrows spin and then turn red and then turn into an ! in a triangle.

Any ideas?

I have now installed the latest version 2.1.4 and all is working fine.

I have this message at the top of the page and I'm having problems with selecting items from the drop down lists in items and customers. Is this a problem with java-script?
