The company 0 is referenced to the database prefix for the first company. On the login screen the company name is used.

Yes you can:

In the invoice press [F2] and select new customer
Fill in the customer data and press [select]

You're welcome Jan Willem

Thanks, that does the trick

For a while FA is sending invoices to my customers with the invoicenumber 0 in header and body.
I think I screwed it up somewhere in rep107.php to fix another problem but i can find it or know what to change it to, to get it to work again. (The invoice attachment is fine b.t.w)
on line 326 : $rep->End($email, sprintf(_("Invoice %d from %s"), $myrow['reference'], get_company_pref('coy_name')));
It looks like $myrow[ŕeference'] is not populated (anymore). How do i correct this the right way?

(I feel so dumb right now ;-) )

Using FA for at least 10 years

I'm not sure this is the right place to ask, so move it to the right place if I'm wrong here.

I have a few service items with different prices per customer (work/hour for example). I have had troubles in the past after sending invoices with wrong prices, because i forgot to change the price and/or discount% for that customer

Is there a way to place where i can set the agreed price and or discount% with the customer.

It would be nice to have a tab in the sales customers screen for price and discount% deals (where a item can be added with a price and/or discount% _only_ for this customer) or/and have a special price deal in the inventory items screen, where a customer can be added in the Sales Pricing tab where now you can only add prices/discount% per sales type.

Make it part of the Logo image wink

Actually, this is the way it is by default.

Because the company name is not part of my logo and i don't want it to be I made the following Q&D adjustments:

in /reports/includes/header2.php i changed that the company is always printed.

in the company settings i changed the address field to start with an empty line, so the address is below the company name.

I renamed de dashboard theme to dashboard2 and try to login again. Every thing is the same, except now the canvas theme is active. Still a blank page.

This is the new eeror.log:

sudo gedit /var/lib/locales/supported.d/local

The file should look something like this:

en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8
xx_XX.UTF-8 UTF-8

where xx_XX is your local language (in my case es_Ni i.e. Spanish Nicaragua).

Add the ISO.8859-1 so it looks like this

en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8
en_US.ISO-8859-1
xx_XX.UTF-8 UTF-8
xx_XX.ISO-8859-1

Save the file, reconfigure locales with:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales

Restart MySQL:

sudo service mysql restart

Open FA and it should now be in your selected language (supposing you have already installed the language and chosen it under "preferences").

smile and smile

There a small error in the text:

en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8
en_US.ISO-8859-1
xx_XX.UTF-8 UTF-8

must be:

en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8
en_US.ISO-8859-1 iso-8859-1
xx_XX.UTF-8 UTF-8
xx_XX.ISO-8859-1 iso-8859-1

For me, the iso must be in normal letters, not in capitals to get it to work.
Good luck with it.

Erwin,

Thanks!

jan willem,

i have changed the tax rate and name of the 19% vat charge in the settings screen to 21%. Do this after all invoices etc per the period ending 30-9-2012 are finalized and booked in the correct period. After changing this tax rate all works fine (no automatically corrections in previous periods).

Hello,
Here in the Netherland de tax-percentage changed from 19 to 21%.

What is the best way to change the settings in taxes for the future?

Do I have to change the tax-rules for every item?

Hello again,
You will have to study the printing of documents. The main layout is done in header2.inc. The rows are printed in the various reports.
We haven't got the time for document this. Maybe somebody out there will do that for us.
We are busy developing the 2.1.3 and 2.2 releases, which have a lot of new fetatures. Also we are preparing some tools for making the layout easier to do for the reports. But this is for release 2.2 and later.

/Joe

Hi Joe,

some help may be helpfull indeed. if I can help in any way...
The first thing I can do is commenting (not changing the code, just insert comments) in the header2.inc.
Let me guess, post it to you on the contact us page email-adres?

Seems like the nl_NL.mo file has dissapeared from the ./lang/nl_NL/LC_MESSAGES dir. In the us_US dir there is the .po AND .mo file. But not in the nl_NL dir for iso_8859-1.

Had to change the iso to ISO in the filenames to make it work on my system (Mandriva based)

Still strange:
When I choose any screen it may come up in dutch OR English. It's not consistent, but when I click the same link for the second or third time the right language will come up..
This happens in the menu's and in the programming itself.

Hello Itronics,

What went wrong:
after upgrading i only had unsupported languages (Had to unhide them. I selected the nl_NL file in the list, which was horrible. so I installed the .po file i translated myself. But because the original nl_NL was enabled it didn't do anything. After disabling the language supported by FA and reinstalling the .po file it finally works.

I finally did install the extra font for PDF support in FA to get everything to work on my system.

Now, how to upload the translation i made to you? it is an nl_NL.utf8 translation.
It may not be perfect, but at least a whole lot better than the translation you are offering now in FA.

with regards,

Jan Willem Bosch

Thanks for your answer Janusz,

The problem is solved, although i still have problems with my language settings. I translated the nl_NL PO file and manually loaded it, but it still shows the crappy dutch in the system. I've set the system locale to iso so i can print pdf-files. but now my X system is English instead of dutch (Although kde applications are still in dutch)

For now i choose the nl_BE Belgium settings, because that's 100% translated and not full of errors.

Delete the complete nl_NL from your site. It's completely useless, because the conversion between versions appantly went wrong and contains sentences in german (for every delete-action)

Maybe I reverse the system locale to UTF-8 and install the extra fonts for the PDF thingy to solve my problem with my distribution.

Hello,
I'm trying to upgrade Front Account from 2.2.10 to 2.3 on a Debian arch install. Debian supports the 2.2.10 version, but I want to have the latest stable release.

during upgrading I encouterd a few problems:

-> after the source files where copied  i couldn't login FA anymore.
    I used phpmysql to set the database to the standards using EN_US-new.sql
    Now i can login and restore the DB in FA.

After restoring the DB the version indicated by FA is still 2.2.10.

Do I miss something?
