This setting works just fine, but I have noted that while DD/MM/YYYY seems fine for the user, the initial log in screen displays as MM/DD/YYYY ... it switches once you log in to the correct format - a bug maybe?

Cheers,

Hi Janusz,

Thanks for the reply.  I think what we will do for now is make a simple manufactured item and use a combination of stock adjustments and additional manufacturing costs to achieve what we want.

Thanks again,
Tony

Hi,

We have an service we sell that has several components to it that are volume based and may
change depending upon the job.  It is important that we track the volumes of material being
used for stock purposes, but do not want to show these on the quotation/order/invoice.

So it seems to be a BOM, but as the volumes may change we can't specify these as a fixed
qty per BOM item.  Only at time of quote.

For example:

ITEM   DESCR                    QTY  UNITS      PRICE
SVC1  Service type 1          1      EA           $50
   V1   Volume item a         25     CC           $0
   V2   Volume item b         30     CC           $0
   HR   Hourly rate work      1.5    HR          $0
   

So V1 and V2 can vary and we simply calculate the overall price but do not want to show the
components ... we were thinking about a sales kit, but then would still have $0 price items on
the quote which is confusing.

Am happy to approach this another way, just am a bit stuck on how to go about it.

Cheers,
Tony

Hi!

I have searched around the alias and see the issue of mail configuration has come up a couple of times, with the advice generally being to set up via php.inc.

As a general question on this topic, is there a way to tell php to use pear::mail as its default.

I realise this is outside the scope of front accounting, but thought there may be some advice on the subject.

Cheers,
Tony

We are about to begin implementation of FA for our business and realise that we will have to adapt some of our processes to FA, whilst others we would like to customize FA to suit our business.

A good example as follows:

We use coordinated document sequences in our current system.  So a complete document flow for a quote to invoice might look like:

Quote 10224
Order 60224
Workorder 900224
Delivery docket 500224
Invoice 300224

Question: is this possible to do in FA?

Cheers,
Tony
