1.4.1 Released (Important Update)

 

The newly rewritten COGS logic in 1.4.0 had a significant problem that was not caught by our tests.  While it produced correct numbers, it did not assign dates to the financial movements associated.  Consequently COGS values in 1.4.0 do not show up in the income statement or balance sheet, and stocking assemblies leads to imbalanced books.

 

Our in-place fix looks for undated financial lines for transactions within the period where books are open, and fills in the date on the lines from the date of the attached transaction.  This restores the financial movements to the reports and corrects the above problems.  In most cases, this should be perfectly safe.  As a precaution however we do back up the lines before we modify them so that this can be audited and questions answered later.

 

There are certain cases where very old books, particularly back from the SQL-Ledger 2.4 and 2.6 days, may have missing dates on payments.  If you have closed your books since that period, there are no problems.  On the other hand, if you haven't these may suddenly show up on the balance sheet.  If this is an issue, please contact us and we will help you correct the problem (preferably on the ledger-smb-users list).
