Can someone point me to the download for the REST API that was offered by TCLIM https://frontaccounting.com/punbb/viewtopic.php?id=1569
I can find it no where on the frontaccounting site. I have a bunch of customers to import. Thanks so much.

Re: Direct Sales Orders (3 replies, posted in Accounts Receivable)
Joe, et. al. I found part of my problem. Why auto shows in the invoice as the order number. Apparently you can change in the config.php and i did not realize that until i was looking at the sales_order_entry code.
I still dont know why it put a reference number in sometimes and at other times puts auto...perhaps i will figure that out later.
At least now i can get a unique number on the invoice when printed 
Progress.

Re: Direct Sales Orders (3 replies, posted in Accounts Receivable)
Thanks Joe for the quick response. What i do not understand is why when i "seemingly" do the same transaction it produces a different result. I see nothing i am doing different with each transaction...( I know that is what they all say:) When i look at the Invoice, instead of a number, i see the word "auto"... on the background documents that is ok...but not on the customer invoice there you would want a unique number..
I want to create the invoice number automatically so they will stay unique...but since it is a service kind of business...i would rather do the direct invoice.

Topic: Direct Sales Orders (3 replies, posted in Accounts Receivable)
I have a customer setup... John I do direct sales invoices to john... However sometimes the Reference gets automatically incremented...and other times it shows "auto". Always from sames sales location, same salesman. I have looked through the code and cannot find why this is happening.
The only thing i notice is those that have a reference incremented... nothing is in the delivery notes... On those that don't increment...it has some delivery notes like date, ref, total... But for the life of me, i never entered any delivery notes. So, what am i missing? Please educate an old man.

Re: How to Purchase...the right way :) (2 replies, posted in Accounts Payable)
Yes.. i read that...seemed like what i wanted but it would not work. Since i cant post a pic here...i will post pics to the error reporting site.
The reason i could not get it to work...was i added a bunch of accounts to the chart of accounts...for example a bank account. When i would try to use the quick entry...new accounts that i had set up would not show in the dropdowns to make a cash payment....from a new bank account for instance. I look at the coa edits to see if you had to enable for the quick entry feature...but could not find anything...that would be blocking it.
So i will post the problem to see if i have found a bug or so you can see what i am doing wrong. I hope to be helpful with all my questions not a pain in the neck.

Topic: Setup...after install...closing previous fiscal years. (2 replies, posted in Setup)
When i ran the setup for 2.3.4 I had fiscal years 2008, 2009, 2010 in the database...i guess from the install. I wanted to delete them. When i tried, the system said that i need to make sure that a retained earning and profit and loss account were set up correctly. I went to do that, but each time i tried to update to set the accounts... I would get this message "Before GRN Clearing Account can be changed all GRNs have to be invoiced."
Since i had no transactions on a new setup and i could not find any by looking at the reporting... I am at a loss how to get these previous years closed out. 2009 would not let me close cause 2008 is not closed...etc So i am in a catch 22 in regard to satisfying the error message. As far as i can see there are no GRNs to be invoiced...cause i had no data for 2008.
Have i found a bug? or just showed my lack of accounting knowledge again? I read the postings on this subject and in the wiki... but the answers they give, I tried, and still do not solve this error message.

Topic: How to Purchase...the right way :) (2 replies, posted in Accounts Payable)
First, disclosure. I am a newbie and a techie... I have read all the forum entries and docs...but perhaps i am dumb when it comes to accounting. I wanted to be online so i am looking at this software...and trying to figure out how it works. I am running 2.3.4 release
The best way for me to explain my confusion about how to do things right is with a scenario:
(1) Cash Purchase scenario: Jack went to Walmart and bought a box of paper for 10.99 with a check from the Operating Bank Account.
Result I want: Take money out of the Asset (bank account) and create an offset in Expense (Office Supplies) . I would also like to be able to see how much the company spends at Walmart.
Options:
I tried setting up a supplier and going that route...but seems onerous when it is a small purchase... I could get the liability but never seemed to do what was required to get liability relieved and expensed.
I tried the Direct Purchase Invoice Entry... but it required items.... i don't want to set up items for every little thing i purchase...still could not get it relieved and expensed.
So i looked at the Banking and the only thing that looked like it would get it done was to make offsetting journal entries...but the only way i could tell Walmart was to put it in the memo section which does not let you really use the reporting power of this system.
Question:
Is there a

I would like to be able to make some entries via mobile. Whether as an api or options to recognize mobile entries and use a different theme.
