LedgerSMB 1.3.25 released

Submitted by hasorli on

The LedgerSMB team is pleased to announce the release of LedgerSMB 1.3.25. With this release we mostly have focused on cosmetic changes for the software, thus reducing the sorts of user interface issues that are likely to cause minor headaches for users of the software.

There are, however, three significant issues that have been corrected in this release which make an upgrade recommended for everyone:

1: In previous versions, term of payment on sales orders and purchase orders were not properly respected.

I want to upgrade PostgreSQL from 8.3 to 8.4+. How does that work?

Submitted by ehu on

First of all, you need to backup all your company databases followed by an upgrade of your PostgreSQL installation. There are plenty of places on the web to explain how to do that. The high-level process is to install the two versions in parallel and run the pg_upgradecluster command.

When the technical upgrade has succeeded, however, you're not ready to see the performance improvements promised by the 8.4+ versions of PostgreSQL with respect to the menu-generation. This is because the database doesn't automatically use the new 8.4+ code definitions.

LedgerSMB 1.3.24 released, FCGI and PSGI support

Submitted by hasorli on

The LedgerSMB development team is proud to release 1.3.24. This release contains a fairly large number of polishing bug-fixes, but also important Plack-related fixes for folks wanting to use LedgerSMB in FCGI and PSGI environments. These fixes ensure that LedgerSMB can be run caching some of the dependencies and thus will be far more responsive than when run as a simple CGI application.

I just installed LedgerSMB, but http://localhost/ledgersmb/login.pl says "Forbidden"

Submitted by ehu on

The default configuration limits access to the /ledgersmb/login.pl page to connections from localhost (127.0.0.1) only for maximum security.

If you want to allow connections from other locations, it's highly advisable to use encrypted (VPN) connections to access your ledger in order to maintain good security.

How do I submit my changes to the project?

Submitted by ehu on 
# diff -u "original file" "new edited file" > “diff file”

Submit your patches ( “diff file” through the Sourceforge project tracker. If you are going to do somewhat largish changes, it's best to discuss how to do them on the developers list. That increases chances for acceptance which is in general the best solution for you and the lsmb community.

What is the difference between a Sales Invoice and a Sales Order in LedgerSMB?

Submitted by hasorli on

The simple one:
Sales order: Customer wants to buy something.
Sales invoice: Customer owes for goods and services delivered.

Business-flow-wise, typically you take an order before everything is done necessary for the transaction to hit the books, and convert it to an invoice when everything that has been done for the income to be realized has happened. This typically means:

1) Goods or services are delivered
2) Any approval/error checking the business requires has happened

Q: This particular merchant runs Windows. I don't think they have a pole display, though I can check. Ideally, it would be great to accommodate, with or without pole display. If it runs better on Linux, going forward I would propose Linux workstations for new merchants.

Ok. Let's first explain what the problems we have to solve are, then discuss the solutions that are bundled.
