Re: Problems with AP transactions

Hi,

I just began using LedgerSMB. I have version 1.3.46 packaged by Debian
jessie-backports.

Welcome to the community!

I have two problems with my first AP transaction :
1) In the reports (General Journal -> Reports or Reports -> Chart of
accounts), in the description field, I obtain the name of the vendor,
instead of the description I wrote when editing the transaction.

Ok. There currently is no column for the name of the customer. Would you expect (the option to add) a separate column for the customer name and have the description shown in the description column? (Note: the current behaviour has worked for me, because I've never used the description field in the AR/AP transactions...)

2) When trying to post the paying of the transaction (Cash -> Payment), I
obtain an Internal server error, and the Apache logs contain this :

This second problem is, of course, much more annoying because it seems I
just cannot post the payment of a transaction !

How can I solve this ?

On the line mentioned in the error message (LedgerSMB/DBObject/Payment.pm:800) is one of the very few statements that differ between 1.3.46 and 1.3.47. So your solution would probably be to update to 1.3.47.

Now, that isn't as hopeless as it sounds, because on IRC (#ledgersmb on freenode.net), I just talked to the package maintainer (Jame, in cc) and he's actually processing the last tests on the 1.3.47 package before uploading that to backports.

Maybe Jame can shed some light on how long it would take to become available for you to download and install.

Thanks in advance for helping me !

No problem at all! On the contrary, if you have more questions, please feel free to mail and we'll try to find the right answer for LedgerSMB.

Bye,

Erik.
