@gabbropee I would do an intermediate step:
Make 1 coconut head from 1/80 th part of a bag (.0125 I think)
Then make 1 pack of chips from 1/60 th part of a coconut head.

Topic: Blank backups (1 replies, posted in Installation)
I noticed this issue when I upgraded to 2.4.11 and was wondering if this is an issue with my own setup or if it's unique to me. I created a database user but did not give that user a unix account, is that why I am getting blank backups because I have no user and therefore no write permissions?
My workaround is mysqldump from a command line which seems to work just fine.

Re: Upgrade to 2.4.9 from 2.4.8 (7 replies, posted in Installation)
Almost a year later I did come back to this.
I did a mysqldump and copied that file for safekeeping.
Set up a brand new installation, then after setting up the first company did DROP DATABASE.
I set up my admin user with the same name and password as on the original company, and the first company's name was also the same, I am not sure if that is important.
Created a new database and did mysql newdatabase < old_database_backup.sql
Seems to have worked but I am having the session login issue that others seem to have with 2.4.11

Hi,
Where did you find the solution and the replacement for includes/session.inc or the code fix please?
best regards

Re: Manage Child/Franchise of Company Record (4 replies, posted in Setup)
I would set up separate companies for each franchise or subsidiary and then one parent company to which I would post the results of each subsidiary as a line item on a daily, weekly or monthly basis using the general journal.
You should make yourself aware of any legislation in your country that applies to reporting for subsidies and consolidated financial statements to ensure your treatment is in compliance.

Re: Upgrade to 2.4.9 from 2.4.8 (7 replies, posted in Installation)
@rafat I will have a look at these values. Restoring the database from the prompt didn’t work. It takes a long time to return to the prompt but when I select * from 1_user I don’t see any of my logins there.
@kvvaradha I think you’re right except:
I’m being super cautious so I want to do the upgrade away from my production server first and I used MySQL 8 on the newer server because I thought MySQL 8 which allows multiple values on bind_address would be neat for security. I am almost certain that the production server is MySQL 5.7
I think that my initial error was using my company 0 to enter actual data. Any new installations I will reserve company 0 as setup or admin and immediately create another company for actual data entry.

Topic: Upgrade to 2.4.9 from 2.4.8 (7 replies, posted in Installation)
Good evening everyone.
I am trying to upgrade to the newer version by creating a new installation on a new server then restoring from a backup of the company taken off of my old server. My newer install has a new database and a new initial company which I backed up as soon as the installation completed. On the setup screen I am trying to use the upload button to upload that backup file but it won't. Is there a way to make that backup uploadable? Maybe if I made a new company with the old name and linked it to a new database with the same name as the old database?
I am contemplating creating a database with the same name as the database on my old server from the mysql prompt, creating a company from my FA welcome page with the same name as my original company linked to that database and then using mysql at the command prompt to restore the backup file to this database on my new server. Is this something that would work?
Thanks for any advice.
Kurt

Re: Multiple Units of Measure in Inventory (6 replies, posted in Items and Inventory)
Good morning gentlemen,
Isn't this possible that we can have multiple UOM's for items and a conversion factor between them. it would solve my issue and pricing levels at each UOM. I think a lot of users would find this useful from posts that I see relating to this?
In my own needs: UOM each and UOM case, conversion factor 24 each 1 case. price each $1, price case $20
In the case of bulk units:
1 bag sugar 55kg sugar 55000g. So a user could purchase a bag and sell grammes and the system automatically know that grammes are fractions of 1 bag?
Price 1 bag $550 Price kg $12.00 Price gramme $0.02
I had a return the other day of 12 bottles, half of a case which I had sold at case price as part of a full case but to credit at eaches would have refunded too much to the customer. So i had to return .5 of a case, which I could not disassemble I had to inventory adjust to remove half case and another adjust to add 12 bottles, and the values were slightly different.
Regards,
Kurt

Re: Units of measure for sales kits (2 replies, posted in Items and Inventory)
@joe:
Here is the thing gentlemen, I sell by eaches or by cases and invoices are created on the fly at the delivery point. The delivery vehicle must carry two separate distinct items to fulfill this requirement. Of course sometimes all the eaches are sold but we have full cases of product which we then need to call the office to unassemble. Sales kits would be perfect if the line item on the invoice displayed as the sales kit unit, sales kit description and sales kit price, is this possible?

Re: Multiple units from single BOM (7 replies, posted in Manufactoring)
I'm using the advanced manufacturing option to try to make a product where we had to adjust our manufacturing process due to an item shortage. Where I would normally use 60 screws to build a case I had to use adhesive (which I won't add as input, amount used is small and cost insignificant) and only used screws where they were structurally necessary, using only 20 screws. So I want to issue 20 screws to make 1 case which I did but when I process it says screws will go into negative. Have I done wrong or missed a step?
I don't want to make a new BOM or change the original to create this product because this will hopefully not happen again.

Re: Multiple units from single BOM (7 replies, posted in Manufactoring)
Having explored the 'Advance Manufacture' option in the demo it is almost exactly right, I have seen very similar functionality in other packages and it is a very good way to allow for variations in your manufacturing process but it adds a layer of complexity. I think my solution might be to manufacture A as a whole item and then use fractions of that in the manufacture of B etc.
I really do appreciate the ability to tweak the manufacturing right at the material issue / allocation stage that will certainly be useful for me.
Thanks again Joe.

Re: Multiple units from single BOM (7 replies, posted in Manufactoring)
So I can do exactly what I propose already?
Which is put in x units + y units to obtain z units ?
If this is the case thanks and thanks for the quick response.

Topic: Multiple units from single BOM (7 replies, posted in Manufactoring)
Hi Everyone,
My scenario is I use inputs to produce an item that will be broken down and used as an input further along the manufacturing process. Eventually I produce from 1 item up to 150 units of finished product.
So 10 item A + 5 item B + 10 item C = 24 item D. If the BOM module is structured to produce just one unit of the item then my BOM has to look like:
.4166667 item A + .208333 item B + .4166667 item C = 1 item D
I have done this before and it is inelegant and rounding can cause errors.
Is there any way to make the BOM read like the actual process:
10 item A + 5 item B + 10 item C = 24 item D
Then when I use item D I may take 5 item D + item E etc to produce Item F
In the actual scenario I am doing 90 + .33 + 2.5 +11 = 90 so the decimals are very inelegant
