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

[Roderick A. A. <raa...@ti...>]

I created an invoice the other day and e-mailed and printed it.  Now when
I go back into SQL-Ledger I can't find it.  Should I have posted it also?

If e-mailing and/or printing an invoice don't post it automatically is
this considered normal behavior in an accounting program?  Especially 
since the post button is to the right of the print and e-mail.

I find that you ALWAYS have to POST before doing A N Y T H I N G ! ! ! ! !

I've lost more than my share of invoices this way... :(  it's a pain right
now really, but that's one bug I intend asking one of our programmers to fix
shortly: auto posting... would be VERY good...

Well I will from now on.  I'll look at the coding to auto post and if it
causes any problems if you post, make changes, then repost.  To help the
novice I think having the Post button before the Print and Email buttons 
would make sense.

Luckily I had a printed copy to rebuild from.  Maybe a CC address for the
user when e-mailing would be nice.

I've found e-mailing the invoice is great.  I have a rather interesting
contract where I bill monthly but need to let the company know hours so
they can bill the client.  This works slick and saves me postage and
envelope costs plus time getting it done.

Dieter has a great program going here.

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.

Makes more sense now and explains why I get back to that screen after
posting.
