We need to set up health insurance and some basic benefits for our team. Nothing over the top, just solid coverage and maybe options like dental or vision down the line. I came across TaylorBenefits while browsing, but I’d love to hear if anyone here has worked with them or found another company that’s been a good fit. We’re a small team, so flexibility and easy communication matter a lot. Any recommendations?

Re: Import Crypto transactions - maybe add to import transaction plugin? (4 replies, posted in Modules/Add-on's)
Tom, crypto isn’t inventory or fixed assets. You need a separate module to track cost basis, conversions, and gains. Import Transactions can handle data input, but forcing crypto into inventory or FA modules will wreck your accounting. Keep it separate to avoid audit headaches.

Re: Error log: 4 Domain file "./lang/C/LC_MESSAGES/C.po" not found. (3 replies, posted in Installation)
That error pops up because your app is looking for .po files instead of compiled .mo files, or it’s searching the wrong locale (C is the fallback locale). Setting intl.default_locale doesn’t fix missing gettext files.

Re: Import Crypto transactions - maybe add to import transaction plugin? (4 replies, posted in Modules/Add-on's)
I've had to work through a similar situation when tracking crypto for business records, and it can get pretty messy using traditional accounting tools. Treating each token as a separate inventory item actually helped me get a clearer value for every single asset, instead of mixing up their costs or using averages. It takes a bit more setup but made tax and audit time less stressful for me. One important thing is making sure you’re accurately recording the value at the time of each transaction, especially if you’re dealing with lots of swaps or staking rewards. Over on Raydium, for example, maintaining good records gets even more important when you generate trading volume on raydium dex for token visibility. It’s something to keep in mind if you work with DEXs or liquidity pools.

Re: allocated cloumn, and an option not to show it (17 replies, posted in Reporting)
The allocated column usually shows amounts that have been matched or settled against other transactions, like invoices or payments. If you're not using it or find it unnecessary, check your settings.

Re: Translation using googletranslate (6 replies, posted in Translations)
That's a really cool script you've put together! Using deep-translator and polib to handle the .po file translation is a smart move. I've had similar experiences with online translations, they're usually good for a first pass, but manual editing is often needed for context-specific phrases. I've also used poedit for manual corrections, and it's definitely a lifesaver for fine-tuning translations. The fact that your script works for multiple languages by just changing the target language is super handy. One thing I might suggest is adding some logging or a more detailed error handling mechanism. That way, if something goes wrong, you have more information to troubleshoot. Overall, great job on the script!

Re: Crypto Payment and Receipt Integration - ISO 20022 (6 replies, posted in Wish List)
Integrating crypto payments and receipts using ISO 20022 could definitely streamline a lot of processes. I've seen similar integrations in other accounting systems, and they've worked pretty smoothly. FrontAccounting could definitely benefit from this. It would make transactions more secure and efficient. Plus, it's always good to stay ahead of the curve with emerging technologies. I'll have to check out that video later to get a deeper understanding of how it's being implemented. Great find!

Re: Items variations by sizes and color (3 replies, posted in Items and Inventory)
Yeah, you can set up variations for the same item by size or color, and assign different prices to each. Most systems or platforms let you add these as options when you create the item, like "Small, Medium, Large" for sizes or different colors for clothing.

Re: Add Email column to Customer Transactions page (2 replies, posted in FA Modifications)
Your approach to modifying the customer_inquiry.php file to include an email_link function seems solid.
One thing to consider is ensuring that the email status is accurately reflected. You might want to integrate a check to see if the email was successfully sent or if there were any errors. This could be done by linking to the email logs or using a flag in the database.

Go to Items and Inventory > Inventory Movements. It'll show you the dates and details for item sales, including the customer.

Re: Change from Non-Inventory to Inventory Item (3 replies, posted in Items and Inventory)
Unfortunately, you can’t directly change an item’s type once it’s set, at least in most systems like this. Your best bet is to create new items with the correct type and use the old ones for reference. It’s a bit of a pain, but you’ll avoid potential issues with reports and tracking down the line.

Re: Inventory cost/value (7 replies, posted in Items and Inventory)
Average cost is simpler to implement, but FIFO is more accurate for tracking profit. To do FIFO in FA, you'll likely need to modify the database to track the cost of each individual item received, not just an average. Then, your sales processing would need to pull the oldest cost first. That's a pretty big change, so start small.

Sounds like your server's PHP version, even with the change, isn't fully compatible with the older FA 2.3.26 installer.

Re: Bank Account Type (3 replies, posted in Banking and General Ledger)
Oh, I've dealt with switching account types before. It was a hassle, but it was doable. When I needed to change my savings account to something more flexible like a cash account, I had to visit my bank in person and complete some paperwork. They also made me go through all the account features again to make sure I understood what I'd be losing, like higher interest rates, but for me, having quicker access to my money was worth it.

Re: Support CryptoCurrency as a Asset/Currency Account (7 replies, posted in Banking and General Ledger)
Hey Tom, I think your approach is solid. Treating mined crypto like inventory and using FIFO for gains makes sense. Keeping a GL for each transaction should help with tracking. Adding crypto support to FA is a great idea. Good luck with it!

Re: Import Transactions not working (28 replies, posted in Modules/Add-on's)
I’ve had this issue too, and it was a file formatting problem. Try a smaller file first and check for hidden characters. Also, uploaded files usually go to /tmp/, but double-check your permissions just in case.
