1.3.4 released

Submitted by Chris Travers on

Hi all;

This release corrects a number of localization bugs regarding number
handling, updates some documentation, fixes one minor database
creation/upgrade bug, and more. Because it involves a few database
changes, it does require running the setup.pl against each database.

Best Wishes,
Chris Travers

How to add a barcode for a part?

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

Sql ledger has the option to add a barcode to a part.

In 1.4, you will be able to add a barcode per make/model record.

How are barcodes added when using LedgerSMB?

Sort term solution:
It's not optimal for a UPC management but it solves the immediate problem:

Add a space separated list with the barcodes to the partnumber field

The partnumber is the "Number" filed on the same line as "Description" in the "Add Part" page.
And yes, "space separated list" works in the POS interface. (If you scan one of the codes in the space separated list )

Does LedgerSMB support my country's laws?

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

We don't know enough about the ideosyncracies with your laws to evaluate that. But quite frankly Free Software sometimes poses an issue with local regulation. If you go with LedgerSMB, I'd recommend working with us to detail any shortcomings and get those resolved.

You can help us to make a list over "X country" laws and LedgerSMB shortcomings according your countrys law.

Is LedgersSMB free software?

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

Yes, its open source. The tools we use (Perl, PostsgreSQL, Apache ++) are also open source.

Open source means that the source code of the software is available for free to everyone and you can modify the code and distribute it yourself. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_source

Look for a place to contribute. This means not only programming, but also documentation, theme design, art work, or architectural design.

Can VAT be automatically be split off into the required VAT accounts?

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

Short answer: Yes

LedgerSMB can tie product sales to a tax class so that VAT can automatically be split off into the required VAT accounts on a sale, and when cancelling an invoice, automatically perform the reverse bookings.

Each product can be 'attached' to an account and the associated % will be applied automatically.

1.3.3 released

Submitted by Chris Travers on

Hi all;

LedgerSMB 1.3.3 has been released. It corrects a number of important
bugs. Users of 1.3.x are likely to benefit considerably from moving
to this new version. The most important fix is for internal server
errors when the most recent Math::BigFloat and Math::BigInt libraries
are used with LedgerSMB. Other fixes address changing countries for
employees, a few user interface glitches, and some localization fixes.
