Re: [SQL-Ledger-users] Printed/e-mailed Invoice not posted?

[<nea...@nz...>]

A comment from someone who has supported other (Windows) accounting
applications for 6 years...

Most of the mid-size apps I work with allow printing of invoices so that
they may be edited and re-printed before posting.
A standard report called an Invoice Status / Order Status report shows all
orders or invoices that are "pending"
in the system. Some invoices take a few days or weeks before they can be
posted. If this method is used care needs to
be taken that any products on the "pending" invoice are shown as allocated.
This avoids the possibility of stock
being issued twice.

Unfortunately I do not have the skills to assist with any programming, but
I do expect to be trialing SQL-Ledger for
prospective client use soon.

Move the "Post Invoice" button. It is at line 437 in is.cgi, and line 387
in ir.cgi

I put the "Post Invoice" button at the very end for a good reason. Normal
flow control goes like this,

  Print Invoice
  Print Packing List
  Email Invoice
  Post Invoice

When you post you are brought back to the beginning where you chose the
customer's name and accounts which completes the invoicing cycle.


You can add a Cc: (Bcc:) in the email_invoice template. Goto "Setup" and
edit the template.
