Hello,

    We need to print invoices and receipts on pre-printed forms. Have noticed that this is done in report 107 and 112 but would like to know what the steps are to modify them without breaking something and keep changes for future  FA updates/upgrades.

    Basically what we need to know is how to enable/disable some fields that might not be needed like sales rep, company name or invoice text; calculate margins, fix position for fields in rows and columns to match our pre-printed forms.

    Invoces must be printed in letter size and receipts in half letter with matrix printers.

    BTW  Is it possible to create a receipt from a direct invoice ? Have created some DI's and there are no receipts, whats the workflow to create them ?

    Still cannot get to print from FA into our Canon network printer or to the local attached matrix printer in our linux test box; trying to configure them has been a headache.

    Meanwhile I'm thinking a solution using created PDF's, like renaming them like iv_01.pdf and batch printing but that's just an idea.

   Any help will be appreciated !

   Regards, Oscar.

Hello Janusz,

    True, also in an initial FA setup with no purchases and items in inventory could be another option.

Hello Janusz,

    Good, we tought about that option but did not found under items/inventory section. Now we know smile

    What situations have you (or other members) faced to change Standard Costs? I'm not an cost accountant or inventory expert; but for us, modifing that value is dangerous as we must keep valuation based on purchases, and avergage calculation done in FA is good for us.

    Thanks for the block access tip.

    Regards, Oscar.

Hello,

   Added to mantis 0000216: DB Error while Placing a Direct Invoice with no customer selected.
 
   FA 2.2.7

   If a Direct invoice is placed with no customer selected a DB error is shown. This can be avoided validating if a customer is selected before posting.

   Edit: Tried to place a Sales Quotation with no customer selected and is properly detected : "You must enter the person or company to whom delivery should be made to."

   Side efect of this error is that Sales Order is incremented.
   Suppose all are initial transactions. After placing a correct Direct Invoice, in customer transactions you can see that Invoice number is #1 Sales Order is #2 and Sales Order #1 is 'lost'.

   Regards, Oscar.

Forgot to mention that even if in FA accented characters are shown correctly in reports are not.

Hello,

     Having some problems, but really enjoying the evaluation of FA, great software guys.

     I've crated a DB script that will set default values to Spanish language. If i execute the script using the Create/Update Companies link the values are inserted correctly; but while browsing values in different pages of the app, accented characters are shown with non spanish 'symbols' as viewed raw in phpmyadmín.

     If I execute the same script using phpmyadmin import or direct sql into the FA database, and then browse the values; now accented characters are shown correctly. I can live with that procedure, but not with the doubt smile

     Have to say that the values used where inserted using FA in a test DB using same procedure as explained below, made a backup and edited sql to create my custom script.

     The steps were:

     1) Installed FA, changed en_UK to en_US utf8, logout/login.
     2) Added Spanish Language utf8 logout/login.
     3) Loaded script from Update Companies.

     Value shown in FA: Depreciación Acumulada de Edificios

     1), 2), 3) Loaded script from phpmyadmin.

     Value shown in FA: Depreciación Acumulada de Edificios

     Step 1 must be done to save correctly characters like áéíóúñ into the db.
     BTW, think steps 1 and 2  can be avoided modifying code, but was lazy to do that, priority is evaluation.

     What could be the reason for that ? My Linux Mint 8 is in Spanish, my system locales are utf8, have set in FA  en_US and es_MX to utf8, the script insert the values with CHARSET=latin1 and have set MySQL to use latin1_swedish_ci collation to match FA db's. I'm using version 2.2.7

     Have tested using XAMPP and direct installation of Apache, PHP and MySQL.

     TIA, Oscar.

Hello.

    The system let you edit the Standard Cost value and think this value must me read only. Made some purchase and have a Standard Cost of $1,200.00, then make a sell of 2 products at $2,000 each. In Profit & Loss report, Income is $4,000.00, Standard Cost is $2,400.00 Calculated Return is $1,600.00. Then I edit item Standard Cost and set it to $0.0. Make the same sale, now in  Profit & Loss report, Income is $8,000.00, Standard Cost STILL is $2,400.00 Calculated Return is $5,600.00.

    This is wrong, we think there is no real valid reason to change Standard Cost values, well; al least for us. That's why we think this is a "bug" the value MUST be read only.

    What you think ?
